The car's suspension system will make the car shake violently during the quake, but it is still a safe place to be. Avoid stopping near or under buildings, overpasses and utility wires, When the quaking stops, proceed cautiously. Avoid bridges and other elevated structures that might have been damaged by the quake and could be damaged further by aftershocks. Floods Do not try to drive through water on a road.
Water can be deeper than it appears and water levels can rise very quickly.
A car can be buoyed by floodwaters and then swept downstream. Floodwaters can also erode roadways. Wade through floodwaters only if the water is not flowing rapidly and only in water no higher than your knees. If a car stalls in floodwater, get out quickly and move to higher ground. Floodwaters may still be rising, and the car could be swept away at any moment.
