WHEN THERE IS AN EARTHQUAKE
If you are in the house
- Keep your mood.
- Lie down under a sturdy piece of furniture (table, desk, desk), kneel down, and support your foot with your hands.
- If there is no durable furniture, kneel in the middle of the room, reducing your height as much as possible and protecting your head and neck with your hands. Avoid large glass surfaces (windows, glass partitions) or furniture and objects that can damage it.
- Don’t try to leave the house.
- Don’t go out onto the balcony.
If you are in a tall building
- Stay away from windows and exterior walls.
If you are in an entertainment venue, mall, or department store
- Keep your mood.
- Stay in the area until the vibration passes.
- Don’t be fooled by the panicking crowd moving erratically towards the exits because you risk being trampled on.
If you are outdoors
- Stay away from areas under buildings, telephone or electrical lines.
- If you have a bag or briefcase, cover your head with them.
If you are in the car
- Take shelter outside and stop the car carefully so as not to obstruct traffic.
- Avoid going through tunnels, bridges or overpasses.
WHAT TO DO AFTER THE EARTHQUAKE
If you are in the house
- Prepare for aftershocks.
- Examine yourself and those around you for possible injuries.
- If there are serious injuries, do not move them.
- Evacuate the building from the stairs (do not use the elevator), after first turning off the light, gas and water switches.
- Take shelter in an open and safe place.
- Follow the instructions of the Authorities and pay no attention to gossip.
- Do not use your car unnecessarily so as not to become an obstacle to the work of rescue teams.
- Use your landline or mobile phone in exceptional cases, as it causes an overload of the telephone networks.
- Avoid entering your home if you see damage, cut wires, gas, or gas leaks.
HOW TO REACT TO A GRAVINE WAVE (TSUNAMI) THAT IS COMING
If you are in a coastal area with low altitude
- Although not all earthquakes cause tsunamis, be vigilant.
- Watch for a significant rise or fall in the water level, which is a natural warning.
- Stay away from the sea and head to higher altitudes inland. A small tsunami on one part of the coast can turn into a large tsunami from miles away.
- Stay away from the coast. The tsunami does not consist of a single wave but of a series of waves so it returns only after being informed by the competent authorities that there is no danger.
- Do not go near the shores to see an impending tsunami. When you see it, it may be too late to avoid it.
