BC SHAKE OUT Earthquake Safety! Tomorrow (Oct 18) at 10:18!!
Written by CFUV Communications on 10/17/2012
DROP to the ground
Take COVER by getting under a sturdy desk or table, and
HOLD ON to it until the shaking stops.
- In case there isn’t a table/desk, cover your face and head with your arms and crouch in an inside corner of the building. DON’T run to another room to find a table. Immediately protect yourself and be patient, you never know if the initial jolt is the big one.
DO NOT get in a doorway!! In modern houses and buildings, doorways will not protect you. Find a table, people!
DO NOT run outside! The ground is moving and you can easily fall or be hit by depris. Stay inside and be patient.
DO NOT believe the “triangle of life” allegation. This concept has been discredited by leading experts.
Make sure to listen to CFUV at 10:18 and participate in the province-wide Shake Out Event!
