Safety plan when the ground starts to shake. When an earthquake happens locate a place in each room of the house that you can go to in case of an earthquake also keep flashlights in a nearby accessible place. This spot should be where nothing can fall on you. Remain inside until the shaking stops and you are sure it is safe to exit the building. When it begins to shake take cover under a desk or table and hold on. Stay away from windows in case of them breaking and causing injuries and also stay away from light fixtures.. If you are in bed remain there hold on and protect your head with a pillow. If you are outside, find a clear spot away from buildings, trees, and power lines and drop to the ground. If you are in a car, begin to slow down and locate a safe place never near a tree, or a building that may collapse. Remain in your car until the shaking has stopped.
