If there is no furniture, get next to an interior wall. 3. Drop to your knees or sit with you upper torso bent forward. 4. Put head down toward knees, hands clasped behind neck, arms against ears and eyes closed. Hold that position for a minimum of 60 seconds after shaking stops. 5.

DO NOT smoke or use matches or open flames. 9. DO NOT attempt to leave the building until you are advised to do so by management or emergency personnel. 10. As soon as practical after the event, assess conditions and further required actions. *If you do become trapped in a collapsed building, it will be important to immediately protect your airway against dust and debris by breathing through clothing or material (preferably a dust mask if one has been stored in an accessible location); check yourself for injuries and control any bleeding; find a source of light if possible; make your location known to rescuers by tapping on a solid object with a rock or other instrument. Save your breath and energy. Delay yelling for help until you hear rescuers very nearby. Emergency Action Plan—DTE Stockton, LLC
