Answer: A
It is best to stay where you are and cover yourself. The triangle of life theory has been refuted by the American Red Cross. “Recently it has been brought to my attention that an e-mail from Doug Copp, titled ‘Triangle of Life,’ is making its rounds again on the Internet. ‘Drop, Cover, and Hold On’ is CORRECT, accurate, and APPROPRIATE for use in the United States for Earthquake safety. Mr. Copp’s assertion that everyone is always crushed if they get under something is incorrect.”

Answer: B
The American Red Cross recommends you remain in your car until the shaking stops. Leaving your car may expose you to injury. When the shaking is over, proceed cautiously. Avoid any bridges, under/over passes and elevated structures that may have been damaged in the quake.

Answer: B
ARC advises against trying to move. The longer the distance, the more likely you’ll become injured by falling or flying debris, or by tripping, falling, or getting cut by damaged floors, walls and items in the path of escape.
ARC no longer recommends use of a doorway for earthquake protection. The problem is that many doorways are not built into the structural integrity of a building, and may not offer protection. Also, simply put, doorways are not suitable for more than one person at a time.

Putting on long pants and a long-sleeved shirt, sturdy shoes and work gloves will help protect you from further injury by broken objects. Check yourself and others for injuries. Look for and extinguish small fires. Listen to the radio for instructions. Expect aftershocks. Inspect your home for damage; get everyone out if it is unsafe.
