JOAN CARTAN-HANSEN, HOST: Do you

3
00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:07,566
know what to do in case of an

4
00:00:07,566 --> 00:00:08,700
earthquake?

5
00:00:08,700 --> 00:00:10,100
If you're inside, stay inside.

6
00:00:10,100 --> 00:00:11,433
Get under something solid like a

7
00:00:11,433 --> 00:00:12,933
table and cover your head and

8
00:00:12,933 --> 00:00:14,266
neck with your arms.

9
00:00:14,266 --> 00:00:15,633
If you aren't close to a table,

10
00:00:15,633 --> 00:00:17,100
drop to your hands and knees and

11
00:00:17,100 --> 00:00:18,466
cover your head and neck.

12
00:00:18,466 --> 00:00:19,900
If you are in bed, turn on your

13
00:00:19,900 --> 00:00:21,366
stomach and cover your head with

14
00:00:21,366 --> 00:00:22,233
a pillow.

15
00:00:22,233 --> 00:00:23,533
Put your arms so they cover your

16
00:00:23,533 --> 00:00:24,766
head and neck.

17
00:00:24,766 --> 00:00:26,233
And when the shaking is over,

18
00:00:26,233 --> 00:00:27,400
look on the floor for broken

19
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:29,200
glass before you get out of bed.

20
00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:30,566
If you are outside, drop to your

21
00:00:30,566 --> 00:00:31,833
hands and knees and cover your

22
00:00:31,833 --> 00:00:32,700
head.

23
00:00:32,700 --> 00:00:33,966
When the shaking stops, avoid

24
00:00:33,966 --> 00:00:35,500
any downed power lines and other

25
00:00:35,500 --> 00:00:36,600
hazards.

26
00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:37,866
And there are things you can do

27
00:00:37,866 --> 00:00:39,433
right now, before an earthquake

28
00:00:39,433 --> 00:00:40,333
hits.

29
00:00:40,333 --> 00:00:41,633
Every household should have an

30
00:00:41,633 --> 00:00:42,966
emergency kit that includes

31
00:00:42,966 --> 00:00:44,266
three days of water, a battery

32
00:00:44,266 --> 00:00:45,800
or solar powered radio, a cell

33
00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:47,233
phone charger and copies of

34
00:00:47,233 --> 00:00:48,833
important documents.

35
00:00:48,833 --> 00:00:50,033
You should have a plan where you

36
00:00:50,033 --> 00:00:51,266
can meet if you get separated

37
00:00:51,266 --> 00:00:53,366
and a designated contact outside

38
00:00:53,366 --> 00:00:54,566
your area, where family and

39
00:00:54,566 --> 00:00:55,800
friends can call to make sure

40
00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:56,966
you are all safe.

41
00:00:56,966 --> 00:00:58,266
