Earthquake Safety

Kids Drop Cover Hold On

Have you ever been in an earthquake?  You know that familiar feeling… RUMBLE RUMBLE RUMBLE!  The earth starts to shake!  When you feel the ground moving, what do you do?

Drop, Cover and Hold On!

When you feel the ground start shaking, drop down, get under a sturdy table or desk, and hold on until the shaking stops.  These three simple actions will help protect you from injury.
