2. After an earthquake, collect only essential personal belongings (coat, shoes, etc.), leave the building quickly and gather at the designated rally point for your building.

3. Be prepared for aftershocks. Aftershocks are usually smaller than the initial earthquake, but they may be strong enough to topple already damaged buildings .
