Recommendations

Before a strong earthquake

Buildings should be built to withstand earthquakes. Any items that could fall down should be  secured.

During a strong earthquake
If inside a building, you should seek cover, move away from any windows and shelves, and wait until the environment is safe.

If outside or in a vehicle, you should stay a safe distance from buildings, bridges, trees, pylons and tunnels. Stop the vehicle and do not leave it during the quake.

After a strong earthquake

You should brace yourself for aftershocks and use the radio, television and internet to stay informed.
