Earthquakes are sudden, rapid shaking of the earth, caused by the breaking and shifting of underground rock. Earthquakes can cause buildings to collapse and cause heavy items to fall, resulting in injuries and property damage.

Preparation
Know the safest places in your office, work area or living unit. These areas should be away from heavy furniture, appliances, fireplaces, and large panes of glass (windows, mirrors, etc) and should be in an inside corner of a room.

During an Earthquake

• If you are indoors, DROP to the floor. Take COVER under a sturdy desk, table or other furniture. HOLD ON to it and be prepared to move with it.
• If you are in a wheelchair, lock your wheels and remain seated until the shaking stops.
• If you are blind or have low vision, keep in mind that earthquakes cause items to fall and furniture to shift. Regular sound clues may not be available. Move with caution.
• Always protect your head and neck with your arms, a pillow, or whatever is available.
• If you are outside, get into the open, away from trees, buildings and power lines. Be watchful for falling glass and building debris. If you are already outdoors, stay out there.
• Do not get in a doorway. You are safer under a table.

After an Earthquake

• Expect aftershocks. Most of these are smaller than the main earthquake, but some may be large enough to do additional damage to weakened structures.
• Check yourself for injury and provide assistance to others if you have training.
• Do not enter damaged buildings. If in a damaged building, go outside and quickly move away from the building.
• If you are trapped, cover your mouth. Send a text, bang on a pipe or wall, or use a whistle instead of shouting so that rescuers can locate you.
• Monitor texts, e-mail, and the Rave Guardian app for an 小蓝视频 Alert. In addition, listen for local news reports via battery operated radio or television for emergency information and instructions.

• Lock your valuables or take them with you. Install the 小蓝视频 personal safety app, Rave Guardian, from the Apple or Google Play store.
• Some of app's features include:
  • Panic button with a direct immediate connection to campus safety that provides听GPS location and personal profile information.
  • Listed of designated personal guardians who are听friends, roommates, and family who will be notified if the听Rave Guardian timer is not deactivated before it expires.听
  • Tip texting for听anonymous crime tip reporting and two-way communication via SMS or mobile app.
