During an Earthquake:
If Inside:
1. Keep calm.
2. Move away from windows.
3. Use stairs, not lifts.
4. Walk; never run.
5. Stay indoors unless otherwise directed by Head Warden / Person in Charge.
6. Take cover under solid furniture or doorways.
7. Move away from anything that could fall on someone.
8. Curl into “turtle position” and protect the head.

If Outdoors:
9. Stay clear of buildings and tall structures, trees, high walls, electricity lines – anything that could fall on someone.
10. If evacuated, remain at assembly point or as directed by Head Warden / Person in Charge until all clear is given.

After an earthquake:
1. Look out for live electric wires and any other hazards.
2. Prepare for after shocks; more things could fall.
3. Turn off electricity, gas, and water at mains.
4. Treat any injuries.
5. If there is a gas smell, evacuate building as for gas leak.
6. Conserve water and try to stop any leaks.
7. If power is cut, keep refrigerator and freezer doors closed as much as possible.
8. Ensure utilities are in working order before re-occupying buildings (contact utility company, if required)
