Earthquake Safety
About 2,000 tremors occur on a daily basis in the central United States, underscoring the need for all Hoosiers to know earthquake safety and how they can be prepared for quakes.
During an earthquake, you should:
- Drop where you are, onto your hands and knees
- Cover your head and neck with one arm and hand, while crawling for shelter under a nearby table or desk (sturdy piece of furniture)
- Hold On to the shelter with the free hand until the earthquake stops
Additional Tips
- If outside during an earthquake, stay outside and move away from power lines, tall buildings, rocky areas or other structures or locations that could collapse.
- If in a vehicle during an earthquake, drive slowly to a location away from buildings, bridges and utility wires.
