Oct. 22 is International ShakeOut Day and as a continuation of our emergency preparedness, SRWC Operations encourages you to practice earthquake safety.
During an earthquake, if you are inside, immediately “drop, cover and hold on”:
- Under a desk, table or chair
- Against a corridor wall
- If you’re unable to get under something, cover your head with your arms to help protect against falling objects
- Stay inside under cover until shaking stops
If you’re outside:
- Stay outside
- Move to an open area away from buildings, trees, overhead wires and other hazards
- If forced to stand near a building, watch for falling objects
If you are in an automobile:
- Stop your vehicle in the nearest open area without blocking the roadway
- Do not stop under bridges, overpasses or overhead wires
- Stay in the vehicle until the shaking stops
