Expectations During an Incident
Structural
Integrity of a Building >>
If the incident involves
an event that has caused your building to shake, partially collapse, or
a nearby building to collapse in such a way that you question the structural
integrity of your building:
During shaking:
- Drop to the ground; take cover by getting under a sturdy table or other piece of furniture; and hold on until the shaking stops. If there isn’t a table or desk near you, cover your face and head with your arms and crouch in an inside corner of the building;
- Stay away from windows including interior windows;
- Stay away from bookcases, light fixtures, or other furniture that could fall on you;
- Use a doorway for shelter only if it is in close proximity to you and you know it is a strongly supported, loadbearing doorway;
- Stay inside until shaking stops and it is safe to leave;
- After the shaking
stops, evacuate the building according to evacuation guidance.
