GEOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Do not move from where you are. However, move away from buildings, trees, streetlights, and utility wires. If you are in open space, stay there until the shaking stops. The greatest danger exists directly outside buildings; at exits; and alongside exterior walls.

Detailed explanation-2: -DO NOT stop on or under a bridge or overpass or under trees, light posts, power lines, or signs. STAY INSIDE your car until the shaking stops.

Detailed explanation-3: -until the earthquake stops. Do not stand and run, as there is always chance of falling on the ground (considering the sway of the building during an earthquake). Just drop on the floor with both knees and hands on the ground.

Detailed explanation-4: -Do not waste food or water as supplies may be interrupted. Do not light matches or turn on light switches until you are sure there are no gas leaks or flammable liquids spilled. Use a flashlight to check utilities and do not shut them off unless damaged. Leaking gas will smell.

Detailed explanation-5: -Stay calm! If you’re indoors, stand against a wall near the center of the building, stand in a doorway, or crawl under heavy furniture (a desk or table). Stay away from tall and heavy objects that may fall on you. If you are in bed, do not get up. More items
