We Need Help
Train your family how to reach out for help. Earthquakes can happen anytime. You may be at work, school, driving down the road or asleep in your bed at home. Finding yourself trapped or injured by debris can make you feel very alone and vulnerable. Remember that there are people searching for you, but they need your help in locating you. Scream, pound on nearby objects, or shine a light to attract attention. Check your body for injuries. If you are bleeding, use pressure or a tourniquet made from clothing to clot the blood. You never know how long it will take for help to arrive.
