Earthquakes can cause rapid and sudden shaking of the earth that can impact people, buildings and road safety.

Do:

  • Stay inside if indoors.
  • Take cover under heavy furniture or against an inside wall and hold on.
  • Stay away from where glass could shatter around windows, mirrors, pictures, or where heavy bookcases or other heavy furniture could fall over.

Don't:

  • Don't try to leave a building if it is shaking. Objects could fall on you.
  • If outside, don't go near buildings, structures or hydro wires.
  • Don't go near buildings even after the quake. There could be aftershocks.
