If you feel a shake, immediately follow the “Drop, Cover, Hold” procedure:
Drop under a sturdy desk or table and hold onto its legs firmly until your teacher instructs you it is safe to come out.
Turn away from windows and glass panes to avoid injury.
If you are in a corridor or stairwell, crouch down with your back against the wall, clasp your hands behind your head, and protect your head.
If you are outside, move away from buildings, tall trees, power lines, and other hazards, then sit down and protect yourself.
Always follow your teacher’s instructions and stay calm.
