If you are indoors, seek refuge on the lowest level of the building.
Go to the basement or move to the stair tower, crawl under a sturdy wooden table or desk, or stand in a doorway. These are places to seek shelter from falling objects and flying debris and are some of the strongest structural components of a building.
Stay away from glass windows and doors, shelves, and appliances.
If you are outdoors, move quickly away from buildings, utility poles, and other structures; avoid power or utility lines, as they may be energized.
If in a vehicle, stop in the safest place available away from power lines and trees. If necessary, stay in the vehicle for shelter during an earthquake. In a tornado, get out of the vehicle and seek shelter in a culvert or other low-lying area.
