As part of your plan, have a spot outside where your family will assemble. Do not, for any reason, go back into a burning building. If someone is missing, tell the fire fighters. The fire department is only minutes away. The actual movement of the ground in an earthquake is seldom the direct cause of death and injury.
Most casualties result from falling objects and debris.
Earthquakes also may trigger landslides and generate huge ocean waves, each of which can cause great damage. There are many actions which you can take to reduce the dangers to yourself, your family, and others. Hold family earthquake drills and plan for reunification. Teach responsible family members how to turn off utilities at main switches and valves. Take first aid training.
