Earthquake

During an earthquake, it is important to take shelter quickly. If you find a safe location, stay there until the earthquake is over.

When you feel an earthquake:

• Stay indoors;
• Get down: As soon as you feel the first tremors, your first reflex should be to crouch down on the ground to avoid falling;
• Find shelter: Once you are crouched down, find and move toward a location where you can take shelter (e.g.: under your desk or work table);
• Hold on: Once you are sheltered, hold on tight to the furniture and stay there until the earthquake is over;
• Remain sheltered when the tremors have subsided;
• Security will broadcast an appropriate voice message for your area.

When to evacuate

• If a fire breaks out in your vicinity;
• If Security orders an evacuation of your area.
