SOPHIA DAVIN (DURING)

1. Drop (or Lock)

Wherever you are, drop down to your hands and knees and hold onto something sturdy. If you’re using
a wheelchair or walker with a seat, make sure your wheels are locked and remain seated until the
shaking stops.

2. Cover

Cover your head and neck with your arms. If a sturdy table or desk is nearby, crawl underneath it for
shelter. If no shelter is nearby, crawl next to an interior wall (away from windows). Crawl only if you can
reach better cover without going through an area with more debris. Stay on your knees or bent over to
protect vital organs.

3. Hold On

If you are under a table or desk, hold on with one hand and be ready to move with it if it moves. If
seated and unable to drop to the floor, bend forward, cover your head with your arms and hold on to
your neck with both hands.

AITHAN SASTRILLO (AFTER)

1. Stay alert for aftershocks. According to experts, aftershocks can continue for weeks, months, or
even years. Typically, the larger the mainshock, the larger and more numerous the aftershocks
and the longer they will continue.
2. Make sure you and your family are unharmed. If anyone is injured, provide first aid, as best you
can and contact the authorities in case of medical emergency.
3. Monitor local news and radio for emergency information. Don’t use the phone unless it’s an
emergency since you could tie up the lines needed for emergency response.
4. Do not light matches or turn on light switches until you’re sure there are no gas leaks or
flammable liquids spilled.
5. Use a flashlight to check utilities for damage including water, gas, and electric lines. Turn off all
appliances and the main electrical circuit breaker, if it’s safe to do. If you smell gas or notice a
broken water line, turn off the service at the main valve.
6. Look for structural damage. If your home is damaged, get out (or don’t go in) until you can have
it checked by authorities or a structural engineer. Don’t go near chimneys, as they can fall over
unexpectedly.
