Earthquake Tips PDF Print E-mail

The ODPEM implores all Jamaicans to take the following precautions should an
earthquake occur.

 

What to do before an earthquake:

 

  • Always have on hand emergency kits.

 

  • Practice earthquake drills at schools, homes and offices.

 

  • Look around your school, home and offices for things that could fall and injure you.

 

What to do during an earthquake:

 

  • Be calm. If you are inside, stay there.

 

  • Get under heavy furniture such as a sturdy desk or table.

 

  • Do not rush to exits.

 

  • If you are outside, stay there. Avoid the hazards, which could cause injury.

 

  • If you are in a vehicle, drive away from bridges and stop in the safest placepossible.

 

What to do after an earthquake:

 

  • Evacuate the building immediately after the shaking stops.

 

  • Be prepared for additional aftershocks.

 

  • Listen to the radio and follow emergency instructions.

 


Remember, earthquakes cannot be predicted therefore our vulnerability to
earthquakes is always imminent. Preparation is the key.
