Earthquake in America today, Thursday, February 29

What to do in case of a strong earthquake in America?

Based on information provided by the United States Geological Survey (USGS), I share with you the following recommendations on what to do during an earthquake.

• Drop and cover. This is the best way to protect ourselves from falling objects and debris. If we are indoors, we should immediately lie down on the floor, place ourselves under a firm table or desk, and cover our head and neck with our hands. If there is no table or desk nearby, we place ourselves under an inner wall or next to low furniture. Stay away from windows, doors and exterior walls.
• Stay away from windows and doors. During an earthquake, windows and doors break and glass and other debris fly. If you are near a window or door, move away from it as quickly as possible.
• If we are outside, we should avoid buildings, trees and power lines and go into the open. Stay away from anything that could fall on you or hurt you.
