Following an Earthquake

• Be prepared for aftershocks.  Generally, the aftershocks are smaller than the main quake, however, some may be large enough to cause additional damage.
• If you smell gas, notify the Building Office or Security immediately.
• Check immediate location – make sure you are safe.
• Check for injuries and apply first aid as needed.  Be prepared to go without emergency services and help yourself and others.
• Extinguish any fires; do not light matches or smoke.
• Listen for news or instructions on radio or television.
• Do not use telephone unless for dire emergencies; make certain that all telephone receivers on are on their phone cradles.
• Ration food and water.
