  2. Stay Calm The first thing to remember is to stay calm. It can be scary, but staying calm will help you think clearly and make the right decisions. www.cloveralert.com

  3. Drop, Cover, and Hold On When you feel the shaking, remember to "Drop, Cover, and Hold On." Drop down to the ground, take cover under a sturdy piece of furniture like a table or desk, and hold on until the shaking stops. This will protect you from falling objects and help prevent injuries. www.cloveralert.com

  4. Stay Indoors If you are indoors when an earthquake occurs, stay inside. Avoid running outside as there may be falling debris or other dangers www.cloveralert.com

  5. Stay Away from Windows and Mirrors Move away from windows, glass, and mirrors to avoid the risk of shattering and causing injuries. www.cloveralert.com

  8. After the Shaking Stops Once the shaking stops, be cautious. Check yourself and others for injuries, and if it is safe to do so, exit the building and gather in an open area away from buildings, trees, and power lines. www.cloveralert.com

  9. Know Your Emergency Plan Make sure you know your family's emergency plan and have a designated meeting spot. This will help ensure that everyone is accounted for and safe. www.cloveralert.com
