This excellent new animation from @UNDRR
shows earthquake safety actions and also includes guidance for people who use mobility devices; learn what to do in other settings at EarthquakeCountry.org/step5 and ShakeOut.org/dropcoverholdon
🫸 Drop! Cover! Hold on!
If the ground starts shaking & you're indoors, this reflex can protect you.
Run a Drop, Cover, Hold On drill – & make it a habit. The reflex it builds can last a lifetime.
