Prepare yourself - Emergency Management

When the earth shakes, DROP to the ground, take COVER under a desk or table and HOLD on to the desk or table so it doesn't bounce away.

Stay there until the shaking stops.

Earthquake Safety

Studies show that most earthquake injuries in the United States are caused by falling objects or people losing their footing during the shaking. Prompt action is crucial. You must find a "quake-safe" spot within 3 to 4 seconds. If a table is not available, ensure your head is not the highest point in the room. Get low, and if you can't get BENEATH a table, consider positioning yourself BESIDE an inside wall or heavy furniture or BETWEEN rows of chairs. Take quick, quake-safe actions!

Myth Buster! Contrary to old beliefs, doorways are NOT safe during an earthquake. WHY? It's difficult to stay in a doorway during the shaking, and doors can swing open and shut, posing additional injury risks. It's best to get low, cover your head, and hold on!

Triangle of Life - Dangerous Misinformation

The "Triangle of Life" is a dangerous concept and not suitable for earthquake safety in the United States. This idea resurfaces periodically, but it's crucial to debunk it. In the U.S., with some of the world's best building codes, most earthquake-related injuries and deaths are due to non-structural threats (items inside buildings) rather than structural threats (the building itself).

Proper earthquake response is to Drop under a sturdy table, desk, or countertop, Cover your head and neck, and Hold on to the table leg or cover until 30 seconds after the shaking stops. Ignore the Triangle of Life misinformation – it poses serious risks.
