RE:       Earthquake Preparedness

Because earthquake tremors have been jarring Evansville and we are located in a high-rise building, we need to be sure that we are prepared for an earthquake. Therefore, the following actions should be taken in the event of an earthquake:

1. Elevators should not be used.
2. Fire alarms or sprinkler systems may activate and startle people.
3. Earthquakes do not kill; buildings do.
4. If outside, open areas are safer than areas near wires, signs, buildings, or trees.
5. People in offices should drop to the floor, take cover under desks, and ride out the tremor.
6. If no desks or tables are near, people should seek cover against an interior wall.
