EARTHQUAKE

Call 911 or Campus Safety Services: x4600

Earthquakes can and do occur in Ohio.  During an earthquake remain calm and quickly follow the steps outlined below:

1. If INDOORS, seek refuge in a doorway or under a desk or table.  Stay away from glass, windows, shelves, and heavy equipment.

2. If OUTDOORS, move quickly away from buildings, utility poles, and other structures.  Caution: Always avoid power or utility lines, as they may be energized.

3. After the initial shock, evaluate the situation and, if emergency help is needed, call 911.  Report any injuries.

4. Damage to buildings should be reported to Facilities, only after all who are injured have been looked after.

5. Gas leaks from shifting underground pipes create special hazards.  Please refer to the Gas Leak Emergency Procedure.
