• Fit all gas appliances with flexible connections and breakaway gas shut-off devices or install a main gas shut-off device.
• Consider working with a registered design professional or licensed building contractor to reduce potential damage to the structure of your home or business.
• Add anchor bolts or steel plates between your home’s structure and foundation.
• Brace the inside of your home’s cripple wall with sheathing.

During an Earthquake

Protect Yourself When the Ground Starts to Shake

Indoors

• If you’re indoors, stay there.
• Move away from windows, skylights, doors and things that could fall.
• Duck, cover and hold until the shaking stops.

Outdoors

• Move quickly into the open, away from electrical lines, trees and buildings.
• Drop to the ground and wait for the shaking to stop.

Driving

• Slowly bring your vehicle to a stop at the side of the road.
• Don’t stop on or under bridges, under power lines or near roadway signs.
• After the shaking has stopped, continue driving but watch out for damage to the road.
