rocks.</p> <p>The constant motion of the earth’s surface causes an earthquake. The earth’s rock layer is broken into large pieces. These pieces are in slow but constant motion. They may slide by each other smoothly and almost imperceptibly.</p> <p>From time to time, the pieces may lock together and energy that accumulates between the pieces may be suddenly released. The energy that is released travels through the Earth in the form of waves. People on the surface of the earth then experience an earthquake.</p> <p><strong>Experiencing an Earthquake? Check out these survival tips:</strong></p> <p>General Tips:</p> </div> <div class="article_text"> <ul class="bullets"> <li>Drop down; take cover under a desk or table and hold on.</li> <li>Stay indoors until the shaking stops and you’re sure it’s safe to exit.</li> <li>Stay away from bookcases or furniture that can fall on you.</li> <li>Stay away from windows. In a high-rise building, expect the fire alarms and sprinklers to go off during a quake.</li> <li>If you are in bed, hold on and stay there, protecting your head with a pillow.</li> <li>If you are outdoors, find a clear spot away from buildings, trees, and power lines. Drop to the ground.</li> <li>If you are in a car, slow down and drive to a clear place. Stay in the car until the shaking stops.</li> </ul> </div> <div class="social_buttons"> <p> <strong>Before an Earthquake:</strong></p> <div align="left"> <ul> <li>Learn how to survive during the ground motion. This is described in the “During the Earthquake” section below. The earthquake safety tips there will prepare you for the fast action needed – most earthquakes are over in seconds so knowing what to do instinctively is very important.</li> <li>Teach all members of your family about earthquake safety. This includes: 1) the actions you should take when an earthquake occurs, 2) the safe places in a room such as under a strong desk, along interior walls, and 3) places to avoid such as near windows, large mirrors, hanging objects, heavy furniture and fireplaces.</li> <li>Stock up on emergency supplies. These include: battery operated radio (and extra batteries), flashlights (and extra batteries), first aid kit, bottled water, two weeks food and medical supplies, blankets, cooking fuel, tools needed to turn off your gas, water and electric utilities.</li> <li>Arrange your home for safety: Store heavy objects on lower shelves and store breakable objects in cabnents with latched doors. Don’t hang heavy mirrors or pictures above where people frequently sit or sleep.</li> <li>Anchor heavy appliances and furniture such as water heaters, refrigerators and bookcases.</li> <li>Store flamable liquids away from potential ignition sources such as water heaters, stoves and furnaces.</li> <li>Get Educated. Learn what to do during an earthquake (see below). Then you will be ready for the fast action needed. Make sure that all members of your family have this important education.</li> <li>Learn where the main turn-offs are for your water, gas and electricity. Know how to turn them off and the location of any needed tools.</li> </ul> <p><strong>During an Earthquake:</strong></p> </div> <div align="left"> <ul> <li>If you are indoors, stay there. Quickly move to a safe location in the room such as under a strong desk, a strong table, or along an interior wall. The goal is to protect yourself from falling objects and be located near the structural strong points of the room. Avoid taking cover near windows, large mirrors, hanging objects, heavy furniture, heavy appliances or fireplaces.</li> <li>If you are cooking, turn off the stove and take cover.</li> <li>If you are outdoors, move to an open area where falling objects are unlikely to strike you. Move away from buildings, powerlines and trees.</li> <li>If you are driving, slow down smoothly and stop on the side of the road. Avoid stopping on or under bridges and overpasses, or under power lines, trees and large signs. Stay in your car.</li> </ul> <p><strong>After an Earthquake:</strong></p> </div> <div align="left"> <ul> <li>Check for injuries, attend to injuries if needed, help ensure the safety of people around you.</li> <li>Check for damage. If your building is badly damaged you should leave it until it has been inspected by a safety professional.</li> <li>If you smell or hear a gas leak, get everyone outside and open windows and doors. If you can do it safely, turn off the gas at the meter. Report the leak to the gas company and fire department. Do not use any electrical appliances because a tiny spark could ignite the gas.</li> <li>If the power is out, unplug major appliances to prevent possible damage when the power is turned back on. If you see sparks, frayed wires, or smell hot insulation turn off electricity at the main fuse box or breaker. If you will have to step in water to turn off the electricity you should call a professional to turn it off for you.</li> </ul> <p><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20200420034626/http://www.odpem.org.jm/BePrepared/PrepareForaDisaster/EarthquakePreparednessResourceCentre/tabid/309/Default.aspx">Visit the Office of Disaster Preparedness and Emergency Management for more details</a></p> </div> </div> </div> <footer class="entry-footer"> </footer> </article> </main> </div>  </div> </div> </div> </div> </div>  <div class="scroll-top-wrapper"> <span class="scroll-top-inner" title="Back to Top"> <i class="fa fa-angle-double-up" aria-hidden="true"></i> </span> </div>  <div class="wrapper" id="wrapper-info-footer"> <div class="container"> <div class="row"> <div class="col-md-4">  <a class="footer-logo icon" href="/web/20200420034626/https://jis.gov.jm/" title="Jamaica Information Service"> <img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20200420034626im_/https://jis.gov.jm/media/2018/10/jis-logo-icon-color.png"> Jamaica Information Service </a> </div> <div class="col-md-4">  </div> <div class="col-md-4 align-self-center"> <div class="social"> <ul> <li><a title="Facebook" target="_blank" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20200420034626/https://www.facebook.com/JISVoice/"><i class="fa fa-facebook" aria-hidden="true"></i></a></li> <li><a title="Twitter" target="_blank" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20200420034626/https://twitter.com/JISNews"><i class="fa fa-twitter" aria-hidden="true"></i></a></li> <li><a title="Instagram" target="_blank" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20200420034626/https://www.instagram.com/jisvoice"><i class="fa fa-instagram" aria-hidden="true"></i></a></li> <li><a title="Youtube" target="_blank" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20200420034626/https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCT6cAZGuOgJlXrEoPv8jtEw"><i class="fa fa-youtube-play" aria-hidden="true"></i></a></li> <li><a title="LinkedIn" target="_blank" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20200420034626/https://jm.linkedin.com/company/jamaica-information-service"><i class="fa fa-linkedin" aria-hidden="true"></i></a></li> </ul> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div>  <div class="wrapper" id="wrapper-footer-full"> <div class="container" id="footer-full-content" tabindex="-1"> <div class="row"> <div id="recent-posts-2" class="footer-widget widget_recent_entries widget-count-2 col-md-6"> <h3 class="widget-title">News</h3> <ul> <li> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20200420034626/https://jis.gov.jm/jamaica-records-173-confirmed-covid-19-cases/">Jamaica Records 173 confirmed COVID-19 Cases</a> </li> <li> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20200420034626/https://jis.gov.jm/st-catherine-residents-urged-to-remain-at-home/">St. Catherine Residents Urged to Remain at Home</a> </li> <li> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20200420034626/https://jis.gov.jm/uncertainty-over-housing-and-population-census-due-to-covid-19/">Uncertainty Over Housing and Population Census Due to Covid-19</a> </li> <li> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20200420034626/https://jis.gov.jm/jamaica-fire-brigade-reporting-an-increase-in-the-number-of-bush-fires/">Jamaica Fire Brigade Reporting an Increase in The Number of Bush Fires</a> </li> <li> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20200420034626/https://jis.gov.jm/quarantine-lifted-in-corn-piece-settlement/">Quarantine lifted in Corn Piece Settlement</a> </li> </ul> </div><div id="text-2" class="footer-widget widget_text widget-count-2 col-md-6"><h3 class="widget-title">Contact</h3> <div class="textwidget"><p><strong>Office:</strong><br/> 58a Half Way Tree Road, Kingston 10<br/> Jamaica, W.I</p> <p><strong>Tel:</strong><br/> 1 (876) 926-3590-4<br/> 1 (876) 926-3740-6</p> <p><strong>Email: </strong><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20200420034626/http://jis.gov.jm/contact-us/">Send us your query</a></p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="wrapper" id="wrapper-footer"> <div class="container"> <div class="row"> <div class="col-md-12"> <footer class="site-footer" id="colophon"> <div class="site-info"> <div class="pull-left copyright">Copyright 2020 The Jamaica Information Service.
