Do not try to put out the fire or confront suspicious people yourself. Earthquake Safety In the event of an earthquake, get under a heavy table, desk, or bed, move to an interior corner or under an interior door frame well away from windows. Especially in a high-rise, do not run to an exit; the stairway might be damaged and crowded with people. Remain calm. Do not use a telephone except to report a casualty or fire. When it is safe to vacate the premises, move to Lot 502 for assembly/check-in and further instructions. Take note of triage (first aid) and assembly areas. Emergency maps are located near the elevator of the first floor of every building.
