orth Shore homeowners

to receive earthquake tips

WHAT TO do in the event of an earthquake is the topic
addressed in a pamphlet being issued today to North Shore

homeowners.

The information package was
organized by the North and West
Vancouver Emergency Program in
conjunction with the three local
municipalities.

The pamphlet is called Self-Help
Advice on Earthquakes.

The following are some tips in
case of an earthquake.

“elf you are indoors, stay in-
doors. Glass, decorative masonry,
chinineys or other objects may fall.
Take shelter under a desk, a table,
or against an inside wall or inside a
door frame. Keep away from win-
dows, glass doors and tall fur-
niture, such as bookcases. Do sot
use elevators because they are sub-
ject to possible power failure dur-
ing an earthquake.

*If you are outside, stay there.
Move away from overhead power
lines, dangling wires and stay away
from the edge of buildings. If

possible seek out an open area,
away from tall trees.

*If you are driving, pull quickly
to the side of the road, away from
overhead power lines. If possible
do not stop on bridges, on high-

way overpasses or near tall
buildings.
*Before an carthquake: locate

with your family and friends the
safest places to take cover during
an earthquake. Practise the ‘‘drop
and cover’' self-protection
method: drop to the floor on your
knees, lees tucked under, head
down with hands and arms folded
over the head. Keep a flashlight, a
battery-operated radio, a first-aid
kit, a supply of food and water to
last three days and a spare wrench
in case it is necessary to turn off a
leaking gas line.

eAfter an earthquake: listen to
the radio for instructions. Check

for fires. Major fires should be
reported to the fire department.
Do no re-enter damaged buildings.
Check utilities for breaks and
leaks. Shut off all damaged fines,
taking care to use only a flashlight
and not a match or open flame for
light.
