If You Are Outside of the Building When an Earthquake Occurs
- Move away from buildings, utility wires and poles, debris, and areas subject to falling glass.
- If you are unable to reach a clear area, stand in a doorway or archway.
- If threatened by falling debris, cover face with one forearm and the back of the head with the other.
- The most dangerous place to be is on a sidewalk subject to falling debris such as glass and masonry.
