Avoid exterior walls, windows, hanging objects, mirrors, tall furniture, large appliances, kitchen cabinets, and heavy objects/glass • 4. Do not go outside!

Broken glass has caused more injuries because people tried to roll on the floor or tried to get to a doorway. Wheelchair: • 1. Lock wheels in an area that is safe. If unable to move quickly, stay where you are. Cover your head/neck with arms.

Avoid overpasses, bridges, power lines, signs, and other hazards. Stay inside vehicle until shaking is over. If power lines fall on the car, stay inside until trained personnel arrive to assist.

  8. Outside of School Continued: High Rise: • Drop, cover, and hold on. Avoid windows and elevators. Sprinkler system and fire alarms may activate.
