The Worst Things To Do in an Earthquake

Smaller earthquakes of magnitude two and lower occur hundreds of times each day across the globe. Major earthquakes registering magnitude seven on the Richter scale occur about once per month, while magnitude eight earthquakes and higher occur once per year. With this kind of frequency, we should probably review what not to do if you find yourself in an earthquake. How can screaming for help be bad? Should you stay inside or outside? And why should you avoid stairs at all costs?

If you have no disability or do not require a wheelchair or a walker and are indoors, then you should drop to the ground, cover your head and neck, and hold onto/get underneath something sturdy. However if you use a walker or wheelchair and cannot move elsewhere, lock/stop your chair or walker from being able to move, lean down as far as you can, and cover your face and neck.
