Avoid tall structures, electrical power lines, and anything that could fall on you. The initial shock could weaken or damage these structures and aftershocks could cause extensive damage and increased risk to safety and health. If you are outdoors, move away from power lines, power poles, trees, walls, and chimneys to an open area. If you are on a sidewalk near a building, try to duck into the doorway to protect yourself from falling debris. BE CAUTIOUS.
