Earthquake Guide
During an earthquake
Drop-Cover-Hold: crouch under a sturdy table, protect your head and neck, and do not move until the shaking stops. After it stops, leave the building without using the lift, leaving doors open, and gather in an open area.
Whom should I call?
For life safety call 112 Emergency; for AFAD call 122. Do not tie up the lines unnecessarily; for information see this page or AFAD announcements.
What does magnitude mean?
Below 3.0 is mostly not felt, 3.0–3.9 is lightly felt, 4.0–4.9 can shake objects, and 5.0 and above carry a risk of damage. The shallower the depth, the greater the effect at the surface.
