Following an Earthquake

• Be prepared for aftershocks. While aftershocks are generally smaller than the earthquake that generates them, they can cause additional damage.
  
• If you smell gas, notify the Office of the Building or Security immediately.
  
• Check immediate location – make sure you are safe.
  
• Check for injuries and apply first aid as needed. Be prepared for an absence of immediate emergency services, and be prepared to help yourself and others.
  
• Extinguish any fires. Do not light matches. Do not smoke.
  
• Listen for news or pertinent instructions on the radio or television.
  
• Do not use the telephone unless you have a dire emergency; ensure that all telephone receivers are properly mated to their cradles.
  
• Conserve, and responsibly ration food and water.
