Advice if you are indoors during an earthquake:

  • If you cannot get out quickly, it is best to wait for the earthquake. Stairwells are a weak point in buildings and lifts often stop working. In addition, you run the risk of being damaged by glass and other falling material if you run out.
  • Take shelter under a solid piece of furniture, such as a desk or bed. If the furniture is moving try to move you too so that you continue to be under it.
  • If there is no protection, be sure to be close to an inner wall. Do not lie under windows. Some houses have strong door panels that can provide some protection.
  • Protect your head from falling things.
  • As soon as the earthquake is over, you should head out to an open place, as most large earthquakes are followed by heavy aftershocks.
  • Advice if you are outdoors when an earthquake occurs:

    • Try to get yourself to an open place.
    • Are you surrounded by buildings beware of falling objects, such as glass.
    • Pay attention to fallen electricity lines and leaking gas lines.
    • If you are near the sea, you should quickly get to a high location if there is a tsunami.
    • Stay outside for hours after a large earthquake, as there is a risk of severe aftershocks.
