Today's exercises were conducted to react quickly and correctly to three life-saving skills: DROP, COVER, and HOLD ON. What do you do to keep yourself and your loved ones safe during an earthquake? In most situations, you can protect yourself if you immediately DROP, COVER, and HOLD ON. Firstly, if you are in a high-rise building, DROP DOWN onto your hands and knees before the earthquake knocks you down. This position protects you from falling and allows you to still move if necessary. Secondly, COVER your head and neck (and your entire body if possible) underneath a hard table or desk. If there is no place to take cover nearby, get down near an inner wall or next to a low-lying piece of furniture that won't fall on you, and cover your head and neck with your arms and hands.
