Time from time we get asked what do I do DURING a disaster. This blog is some insight to basic procedures but more information should be south out from Emergency Preparedness Canada, your provincial territorial emergency measures organization or your local Red Cross.
DURING AN EARTHQUAKE If you are in a building STAY INSIDE. Stay away from windows. get under a heavy desk or table and hang on. If you can’t get under something strong, flatten yourself against an interior wall, protect your head and neck. If you are OUTSIDE go to an open area. Move away from buildings or any structure that can collapse. Stay away from power lines and downed electrical wires. If you are in the CAR stop the car and STAY in it. Avoid bridges, overpasses and underpasses, buildings or anything that could collapse on you or the car.
