Advisory

Earthquake drill.

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<ol>
<li>Drop, Cover, and Hold On:&nbsp;<strong>Drop</strong>&nbsp;to the ground, take&nbsp;<strong>Cover</strong>&nbsp;under a table or desk, and&nbsp;<strong>Hold On</strong>&nbsp;to it as if a major earthquake were happening (stay down for at least 60 seconds). Practice now so you will immediately protect yourself during earthquakes!</li>
<br />
<li>While still under the table, or wherever you are, look around and imagine what would happen in a major earthquake. What would fall on you or others? What would be damaged? What would life be like after?&nbsp;<em>What will you do before the actual earthquake happens to reduce losses and quickly recover?</em></li>
<br />
<li>Finally, practice what your community will do&nbsp;after&nbsp;the shaking stops.</li>
<li>A great extra step is to practice how to communicate with family, friends, and co-workers. Texting first before making phone calls is highly recommended. Learn more from ShakeOut partner&nbsp;Safe America Foundation&nbsp;and their &quot;Text First. Talk Second.&quot; campaign, including how to hold a texting drill.</li>
