JOAN CARTAN-HANSEN, HOST: Do you

00:06.200 --> 00:07.566 position:12.5% line:84.67% size:77.5%
know what to do in case of an

00:07.566 --> 00:08.700 position:35% line:84.67% size:55%
earthquake?

00:08.700 --> 00:10.100 position:12.5% line:84.67% size:77.5%
If you're inside, stay inside.

00:10.100 --> 00:11.433 position:10% line:84.67% size:80%
Get under something solid like a

00:11.433 --> 00:12.933 position:12.5% line:84.67% size:77.5%
table and cover your head and

00:12.933 --> 00:14.266 position:25% line:84.67% size:65%
neck with your arms.

00:14.266 --> 00:15.633 position:10% line:84.67% size:80%
If you aren't close to a table,

00:15.633 --> 00:17.100 position:10% line:84.67% size:80%
drop to your hands and knees and

00:17.100 --> 00:18.466 position:17.5% line:84.67% size:72.5%
cover your head and neck.

00:18.466 --> 00:19.900 position:10% line:84.67% size:80%
If you are in bed, turn on your

00:19.900 --> 00:21.366 position:10% line:84.67% size:80%
stomach and cover your head with

00:21.366 --> 00:22.233 position:37.5% line:84.67% size:52.5%
a pillow.

00:22.233 --> 00:23.533 position:10% line:84.67% size:80%
Put your arms so they cover your

00:23.533 --> 00:24.766 position:32.5% line:84.67% size:57.5%
head and neck.

00:24.766 --> 00:26.233 position:12.5% line:84.67% size:77.5%
And when the shaking is over,

00:26.233 --> 00:27.400 position:15% line:84.67% size:75%
look on the floor for broken

00:27.400 --> 00:29.200 position:10% line:84.67% size:80%
glass before you get out of bed.

00:29.200 --> 00:30.566 position:10% line:84.67% size:80%
If you are outside, drop to your

00:30.566 --> 00:31.833 position:12.5% line:84.67% size:77.5%
hands and knees and cover your

00:31.833 --> 00:32.700 position:42.5% line:84.67% size:47.5%
head.

00:32.700 --> 00:33.966 position:12.5% line:84.67% size:77.5%
When the shaking stops, avoid

00:33.966 --> 00:35.500 position:10% line:84.67% size:80%
any downed power lines and other

00:35.500 --> 00:36.600 position:37.5% line:84.67% size:52.5%
hazards.

00:36.600 --> 00:37.866 position:10% line:84.67% size:80%
And there are things you can do

00:37.866 --> 00:39.433 position:10% line:84.67% size:80%
right now, before an earthquake

00:39.433 --> 00:40.333 position:42.5% line:84.67% size:47.5%
hits.

00:40.333 --> 00:41.633 position:12.5% line:84.67% size:77.5%
Every household should have an

00:41.633 --> 00:42.966 position:15% line:84.67% size:75%
emergency kit that includes

00:42.966 --> 00:44.266 position:12.5% line:84.67% size:77.5%
three days of water, a battery

00:44.266 --> 00:45.800 position:12.5% line:84.67% size:77.5%
or solar powered radio, a cell

00:45.800 --> 00:47.233 position:15% line:84.67% size:75%
phone charger and copies of

00:47.233 --> 00:48.833 position:25% line:84.67% size:65%
important documents.

00:48.833 --> 00:50.033 position:10% line:84.67% size:80%
You should have a plan where you

00:50.033 --> 00:51.266 position:12.5% line:84.67% size:77.5%
can meet if you get separated

00:51.266 --> 00:53.366 position:10% line:84.67% size:80%
and a designated contact outside

00:53.366 --> 00:54.566 position:15% line:84.67% size:75%
your area, where family and

00:54.566 --> 00:55.800 position:12.5% line:84.67% size:77.5%
friends can call to make sure

00:55.800 --> 00:56.966 position:27.5% line:84.67% size:62.5%
you are all safe.

00:56.966 --> 00:58.266 position:17.5% line:84.67% size:72.5%
