How to protect yourself when the next earthquake strikes Hawaii: DROP where you

Detailed Description

How to protect yourself when the next earthquake strikes Hawaii: DROP where you are, onto your hands and knees. COVER your head and neck with one arm and hand. If a sturdy table or desk is nearby, crawl underneath it for shelter. If no shelter is nearby, crawl next to an interior wall (away from windows). HOLD ON until shaking stops.
