EARTHQUAKE DANGERS AND WARNINGS

 

    • The Triangle of Life is not the best position in an earthquake. We cannot predict where triangles will form in and earthquake. Additionally, most earthquake injuries or deaths are a result of flying or falling objects which the Triangle of Life does not protect against. The best thing to do during an earthquake is drop, cover and hold on. 
  •  
    • Do not stand under a doorway during an earthquake. Doorways are not safer or more stable than the rest of the structure and do not protect you from flying or falling objects. 
  •  
    • After the shaking stops do not use an eleveator to evacuate a building. Use the stairs instead.
