EARTHQUAKES – DUCK, COVER &
HOLD
This week One Ask Mr. Milo Plaza will conduct a “Duck, Cover and Hold” Earthquake Drill. Emergency Team members will be observing the drill and completing the Earthquake Drill survey forms. ALL Tenants of the building are required to participate in the drill and remain in their HOLD position until the "all clear" announcement is made over the public address system. What you need to do: In the event of an earthquake, the following events occur and the following steps should be taken: 1. Get under a solid desk or table. (Duck/Cover) 2. Stay away from all
glass windows, partitions, stairwells and elevator lobbies.
3. After the initial
shock, stay where you are as after shocks often occur. (Hold)
4. Do not use matches or
open flame (to reduce fire danger).
5. If it is necessary to
evacuate the building, follow fire evacuation procedures.
6.
Tenants should supply their space with first aid kits,
bottled water, radios, batteries, blankets
and other survival items in order
to be prepared should it become unsafe to leave the
building.
7.
Elevators will go to the next floor and open; they will
automatically stop normal operation
until an
inspection is made to determine that the equipment is safe to operate.
Thank you for your participation. |
