Warning: strtotime(): It is not safe to rely on the system's timezone settings. You are *required* to use the date.timezone setting or the date_default_timezone_set() function. In case you used any of those methods and you are still getting this warning, you most likely misspelled the timezone identifier.

After an Earthquake

Additional Guidelines for Laboratory Operations or Industrial Settings

  • Depending on the time and circumstances of the earthquake, you may be asked to stay out of the building for a few minutes to a few days--or indefinitely.

  • Check the short-term evacuation checklist, and complete the essential steps listed. These include, but are not limited to:

    • Turn off gas burners.

    • Check quickly for fires, fire hazards, or spilled chemicals.

    • Check for injured or physically limited people who might have trouble evacuating the building.

    • Bring emergency supplies (first aid kit, flashlights, etc.) to the emergency assembly point.

    • Close the lab door as you leave.

    • Report crucial items or hazards to the appropriate official at the emergency assembly point.
