“Drop, Cover, and Hold On” DROP down onto your hands
and knees. This position protects you from falling but allows you to still move if necessary.
COVER your head and neck under a sturdy table or desk. If there is no shelter nearby, only then should you get down near an interior wall (or next to low-lying furniture that won't fall on you), and cover your head and neck with your arms and hands.
Earthquake - Inside
19January 2015
HOLD ON to your shelter (or to your head and neck) until the shaking stops. Be prepared to move with your shelter if the shaking shifts it around
Turn off your GAS, ELECTRICITY, and WATER, if possible.
NEVER turn gas back on yourself, call a professional
Keep away from all windows Do not use elevators
Resource: http://earthquakecountry.info/dropcoverholdon/
If you’re Outside: Stay away from buildings and power lines. If driving, park in the safest spot and stay low in the car. Keep your seatbelt fastened.
Watch for falling debris. Stay Alert after Quake:
Aftershocks may occur for several days Stay out of damage areas Listen to local radio/TV for instructions. Do not use open flames in case of gas leaks.
Earthquake - Outside
20January 2015
Plan Essentials: Determine escape routes
from each room in your home / building
Choose a meeting place outdoors
Hold fire drills regularly Make sure everyone in
family knows the plan Check batteries in smoke
and carbon monoxide alarms annually
Follow the plan: Never use an elevator Stay low when smoke is
present (smoke rises) Feel doors before opening
If cool and no smoke is seeping inside, open doors, SLOWLY
Use another exit if warm or smoke is seeping in
Go to designated meeting place and stay there; do not go back inside

Flood and Hurricane
22January 2015
If outside, get into a building, car or bus
If in open area, head for low ground or crouch down
If in wooded area, pick a low area under thick, small trees
Severe Storm Safety
23January 2015
Go to lowest level of the building and stay in the center, away from windows
Get under sturdy furniture or stairs
Do not stay in mobile or manufactured homes
If away from home, take shelter in a steel framed or reinforced-concrete building
Avoid buildings with wide-span roofs
Tornado Safety
24January 2015
Dress in lightweight layers of clothing, rather than one layer of heavy clothing Avoid getting chilled or overheated
Beware of ice (including black ice), fallen trees and downed wires
Avoid strenuous activity and driving if possible: Have an emergency kit with blankets in car, if you must travel.
Never use unvented fuel-burning devices (ex. Grills, ovens, generators, and space heaters). Never use back-up generators indoors. These devices create DEADLY carbon monoxide, which is
colorless and odorless!
Winter Storm Safety
25January 2015
Review public alert/broadcasting systems (radio/TV) for instructions
Exposure can cause serious illness or death
Only use telephone if necessary
When evacuating, do not leave car if it breaks down - stay and wait for help.
Keep car windows and vents closed
Do not return home until officials say it is safe
Nuclear Response
26January 2015
Reminders:
Get inside as soon as possible; if in a vehicle, close windows, vents and turn off air conditioning
If in a building/home, go to highest room…if possible, retreat to a windowless room
Close all doors and windows; turn off heating / air conditioning systems and fans
Follow official instructions on sealing off rooms ( i.e. using plastic sheeting, duct tape, or placing damp towels under doors)
Cut and label plastic sheeting now to save time when sealing off window and door edges
Chemical Disaster Response
27January 2015
Stay alert for attack warning signs. Early detection enhances survival. Move upwind from the source of the attack. If evacuation from the immediate area is impossible, move indoors (if
outside) and upward to an interior room on a higher floor. Remember many agents are heavier than air and will tend to stay close to the ground.
Once indoors, close all windows and exterior doors and shut down air conditioning or heating systems to prevent circulation of air.
Cover your mouth and nose. If gas masks are not available, use a surgical mask or a handkerchief. An improvised mask can be made by soaking a clean cloth in a solution of 1 tablespoon of baking soda in a cup of water. While this is not highly effective, it may provide some protection. Cover bare arms, legs, and any cuts or abrasions are covered/bandaged.
If splashed with an agent, immediately wash it off using copious amounts of
warm soapy water or a diluted 10:1 bleach solution.
