Earthquake+safety

=Earthquake safety=

==Before an earthquake occurs the first thing you should do is be prepared. Keep a supply of canned food, water, batteries, flashlights etc. Plan what you would do if an earthquake strikes while you are at home, in a car,or at school. During an earthquake remain calm. If you are indoors then protect yourself by standing near a doorway or couching under a desk or table. Stay away from objects that might topple over. If you are at school follow the instructions given by your teacher or principal. If you are in a car, stop in a place away from bridges, tall buildings, and power lines. After an earthquake check for fire and other hazards. Avoid downed power lines and objects touched by downed wires.==
