Earthquakes

BEFORE AN EARTHQUAKE

• Develop a Household Emergency Plan.

Assemble and maintain your emergency survival Items for your home and workplace, as well as a portable emergency getaway kit

• Practise Drop, Cover and Hold

• Identify safe places within your home, school or workplace.

A safe place is:

• Somewhere close to you, no more than a few steps or less than three metres away, to avoid injury from lying debris

• Under a strong table (hold on to the table legs to keep it from moving away from you)

• Next to an interior wall, away from windows and tall furniture that can fall on you (protect your head and neck with your arms)

• Keep in mind that in modern homes, doorways are no stronger than any other part of the structure and usually have doors that can swing and injure you

• Check your household insurance policy for cover and amount

• Seek qualified advice to make sure your house is secured to its foundations and ensure any renovations comply with the New Zealand

Building Code

DURING AN EARTHQUAKE

• If you are inside a building, move no more than a few steps, and drop, cover and hold.

• Stay indoors till the shaking stops and you are sure it is safe to exit. In most buildings in New

Zealand you are safer if you stay where you are until the shaking stops.

EARTHQUAKES

DURING AN EARTHQUAKE (CONT)

• If you are inside a building, move no more than a few steps, and drop, cover and hold. Stay indoors till the shaking stops and you are sure it is safe to exit. In most buildings in New Zealand you are safer if you stay where you are until the shaking stops

• If you are in an elevator, drop, cover and hold.

When the shaking stops, try to get out at the nearest floor if you can safely do so

• If you are outside, move no more than a few steps away from buildings, trees, street lights and power lines, then drop, cover and hold

• If you are at the beach or near the coast, drop, cover and hold, then move to higher ground immediately in case a tsunami follows the quake

• If you are driving, pull over to a clear location, stop and stay there with your seatbelt fastened until the shaking stops. Once the shaking stops, proceed with caution and avoid bridges or ramps that might have been damaged

• If you are in a mountainous area or near unstable slopes or cliffs, be alert of falling debris or landslides

• If you have limited mobility, cover your head with a pillow or cushion, or with your arms or hands as best you can. The most important thing is to protect you head.

AFTER AN EARTHQUAKE

• Check yourself for injuries and get first aid if necessary. Help others if you can

• Do not run outside. It is frightening to stay in a building immediately after an earthquake but it is much safer than immediately going outside.

An earthquake is not like a fire. You do not have to evacuate a building straight away unless it is showing obvious signs of distress

• Watch out for fallen power lines or broken gas lines, and stay out of damaged areas

• If you smell gas or hear a blowing or hissing noise, open a window, get everyone out quickly and turn off the gas if you can. If you see sparks, broken wires or evidence of electrical system damage, turn off the electricity at the main fuse box if it is safe to do so

• Be aware that electricity supply could be cut, and fire alarms and sprinkler systems can go off in buildings during an earthquake even if there is no fire. Check for, and extinguish, small fires

• Listen to your local radio stations as emergency management officials will be broadcasting the most appropriate advice for your community and situation

• Keep your animals under your direct control as they can become disoriented. Take measures to protect your animals from hazards, and to protect other people from your animals

• Only use the phone for short essential calls to keep the lines clear for emergency calls

• If your property is damaged, take notes and photographs for insurance purposes. If you rent your property, contact your landlord and your contents insurance company as soon as possible
