Should an earthquake strike while you are at an indoor work location, do the following:

DUCK - Duck or drop down on the floor.

COVER - Take cover under a sturdy desk, table or other furniture. If that is not possible, seek cover against an interior wall and protect your head and neck with your arms.

Avoid danger spots near windows, hanging objects, mirrors or tall furniture.

HOLD - If you take cover under a sturdy piece of furniture, HOLD on to it and be prepared to move with it. Hold the position until the ground stops shaking and it is safe to move.
