Earthquake safety rules

Rules for home
One of the most important things to remember is (water safety kit and a blanket and some food) don't bring a large amount of it. The second most important thing to do is to move the bead from the window. If you have any pets they will probably start going crazy and bark. If somebody is cooking, try to remember to turn off the stove before evacuating. Stay in cover until the shaking stops. Stay calm and don't start going crazy. Keep a flash light beside bed and shoes to protect your feet . The flashlight should have fresh batteries because in these occasions the electricity runs out.for my home if you are in the top floor you need to go rushing down stairs open the door and go away or there is a door in the backyard you open it and you are already in the street and you would be safe you have to remember to move the bed and take heavy lamps from tables and take pictures from the walls or pictures that are in the wall of your room those are actually the things that are important.

Rules for shoppers 
If an earthquake occurs while you are shopping first stay calm don't rush into the exit doors (injuries occur when people panic and try to leave all at the same time through the same door). Stay away from windows. Another important thing: don't use elevators. The electricity will probably shut down. Stay away from heavy shelves or any shelves so nothing falls in your head. Try to move inside a wall, get under a table and cover your head. For evacuating don't carry anything that's heavy just carry your purse. If your purse is too heavy take things out of it. After the shaking go calmly out of the building and go somewhere out side and stay away from the building.

Rules for school
If an earthquake occurs and you are in school don't go crazy, stay calm and go under a desk and take everything there is on it. Stay away from shelves, hold on to the desk or to a leg of the table. Keep your head down until the shaking stops.
