AFTER
THE EARTHQUAKE
- Try to account for everyone.
- Check for injuries and give first aid.
- Check for gas leaks and fire. Turn off gas
valve only if you smell or hear gas. If
you do smell gas, do not turn lights on or off and do not
light a match.
- Once the gas is off, leave it off until PG&E
turns it on.
- If the electricity is out, unplug computers
and other equipment. If there are sparks or electrical fires,
turn off the electricity at the main switch.
- Immediately after the earthquake, do
not use the phone, unless you need an ambulance,
fire truck or other emergency help.
- Call your out-of-state emergency contact
to report your status.
- If the house or building must be vacated,
go to your pre-determined meeting site or where authorities
tell you to go. If possible, secure the house or building
before you leave.
- Listen to the radio, KCBS 740
or KGO 810 for instructions and information.
- Remain calm.
