yeeks! We had an earthquake!

[Trek420]

If indoors get under a sturdy desk or table, hold onto it
if unable to do that go to interior reinforced walls like stairway wall
Get awaaaaaaay from glass and windows
If outside head towards open space, avoiding windows and of course power lines.

Stay there till the shaking stops.

Let's see, if you're at work or in an office don't necessarily evacuate. Stay put and have your safety team (that'd be me at my work) make sure the exits are safe. Nothing like having everyone rush out and find they can't

Attend to injuries wherever you are.
Do not turn off the gas unless you detect a leak.
Do look for things like downed power and broken pipes. Where'd I put the shut off valve thingies?

Stay off the g*d damn phone! In a real big one leave the lines for first responders. Do not call your Mommie. Establish a family call tree of one person waaaay out of the area and if necessary call them, say you're ok, and have them call the rest.

I'll think of more after coffee with the Spazzdog and rotate my earthquake kit. Talk amoungst yourselves about emergency prep.
