You should print out these preparation, safety and recovery tips in case you don't have access to a computer or power after an earthquake strikes.

• At the first sign of an earthquake, drop and take cover under a sturdy piece of furniture or against an inside wall away from objects that may fall on you.  
• Sit or stay close to the floor and hold on to furniture legs for balance.  
• Use your arm to cover and protect your eyes.  
• If there is no sturdy furniture nearby, kneel or sit close to the floor next to a structurally sound interior wall away from windows, shelves or furniture that could fall and place your hands on the floor for balance.  
• Stay away from doorways. Violent motion could cause the doors to slam against your body, crush your fingers or inflict other serious injuries.  
• Do not run outside.  
• If outdoors, quickly move into the open, away from electrical lines, trees and buildings.  
• If driving, bring your vehicle to a stop at the side of the road away from traffic.  
• Do not stop on or under bridges, near or under power lines or road signs.
