February 7, 2012 is the Great Central U.S. Shakeout. At 10:15 a.m., eight states in the central U.S. will be participating in a simultaneous earthquake drill. Safety Preparedness Tips: If an earthquake strikes, immediately follow these three steps to protect yourself: DROP down to the floor on your hands and knees. This position protects you from falling but allows you to still move if necessary. COVER your head and neck (and entire body if possible) under a sturdy piece of furniture. If that is not possible, seek COVER against an interior wall (or low-lying furniture that won’t fall on you) and protect your head and neck with your arms and hands. Avoid danger spots near windows, hanging objects, or tall furniture. HOLD ON to your shelter (or to your head and neck) until the shaking stops. Be prepared to move with your shelter if the shaking shifts it around. More Tips to Protect Yourself During An Earthquake: - If you’re in a HIGH-RISE BUILDING, and you are not near a desk or table, move against an interior wall, and protect your head with your arms. Do not use the elevators. - If you’re OUTDOORS, move to a clear area, away from trees, signs, buildings, or downed electrical wires and poles. - If you’re on a SIDEWALK NEAR BUILDINGS, duck into a doorway to protect yourself from falling bricks, glass, plaster, and other debris. - If you’re DRIVING, pull over to the side of the road and stop. Avoid overpasses, power lines, and other hazards. Stay inside the vehicle until the shaking is over. - If you’re in a CROWDED STORE, do not rush for exits. Move away from display shelves containing objects that could fall. - If you’re in a WHEELCHAIR, stay in it. Move to cover, if possible, lock your wheels, and protect your head with your arms. - If you’re in the KITCHEN, move away from the refrigerator, stove, and overhead cupboards. - If you’re in a STADIUM or THEATER, stay in your seat and protect your head with your arms. Do not try to leave until the shaking is over. Then leave in a calm, orderly manner. Be prepared for AFTERSHOCKS, and plan where you will take cover when they occur. Aftershocks can occur in the first hours, days, weeks, or even months after the quake. Be prepared to Drop, Cover, & Hold On again.
