04 · Safety
If you’re in an affected area
Expect aftershocks
Move away from damaged buildings, slopes, bridges, and power lines. Drop, cover, and hold on if shaking starts.
Check before re-entering
Do not enter visibly damaged structures. Shut off gas only if you suspect a leak and can do so safely.
Keep networks clear
Use text messages when possible, follow local authorities, and do not share unverified casualty or missing-person claims.
