A serious earthquake can be very destructive. However, most people injured in earthquakes are hit by material falling from the outside of a building as they exit the building. Therefore, do not run out of a building during or immediately after an earthquake.
All personnel will immediately take cover under desks, tables and in doorways remaining there until the all-clear verbal notification has been received from the Fire Wardens.
Stay clear of windows, filing cabinets, supply cabinets, outside building walls, etc.
Personnel in elevators will exit at the nearest floor. If the elevator comes to a stop between floors, remain calm and push the "alarm" button. Someone will contact you and arrangements will be made to evacuate the elevator.
Stay clear of objects that could possibly fall.
Move away from damaged areas and away from outer building walls.
