HOW YOU ASK? HERES THE EXTERIOR!

  • Tie the floor, roof, and foundations into a rigid, earthquake proof box.
  • School should be anchored to rock below the soil
  • Have the building on top of shock absorbing rubber pads or springs
  • Use reinforced beams in your building
  • Use flexible materials in your building

....AND THE INTERIOR

  • Secure cabinets to the wall
  • Use secure desks
  • Secure painting and pictures to wall
  • Cover windows with curtains

YOU FEEL RUMBLES? HERES WHAT YOU DO!

  • "Drop, cover, and hold on"
  • Drop down onto your hands and knees(before the earthquake does it for ya!)
  • Cover your head and neck and get under a table or desk
  • Hold on until the shaking stops
  • DO NOT go outside or run around. DO NOT stand in a doorway

They are not smiling. They are scared like you will be if you dont follow the rules.
