Drop, Cover, and Hold On!

Remember those words. One of the areas with the biggest misconception base is what to do when an earthquake strikes.

People want to stand in doorways. Bad. The door can swing into you or crush your fingers.

People want ot run outside. No so good. Falling debris will injure or kill you. 

People want to jump under the closest table. Good! That's a great place to hang out during an earthquake, but remember to hang on. 

If you're really intersted in your personal safety, you'll want to spend a bit of time testing your knowledge regarding taking action during the earthquake. We suggest a great place to do that: DropCoverHoldOn.Org
