Video - Guideline that will protect you in the event of an earthquake »
IF YOU ARE IN A BUILDING
If you are inside a building and feel the floor moving, move quickly to a safe place, prioritized as follows:
- Open area: if you can leave the building quickly, go outside to an open area (mostly relevant for those in a single-story building or when located on the ground floor).
- If you cannot quickly exit the building, enter the MAMAD. Leave the MAMAD door open.
- If you cannot quickly exit the building and there is no MAMAD – go to the stairwell. If possible, descend the stairs and exit the building.
- Only if you cannot exit the building, take shelter under a heavy piece of furniture or sit on the floor next to an interior wall.
Additional guidelines:
- Before leaving the building, disconnect the main gas and electricity switches.
- On your way to the safe space, keep away from exterior walls of the building, windows and shelves.
- Do not use the elevator during and after an earthquake - it could get stuck.
- If you are in a wheelchair, after you have reached the safe space, lock the wheels and protect your head.
IF YOU ARE OUTSIDE
If you feel an earthquake when you are outside a building, stay in an open area and keep away from buildings, bridges and electricity poles.
