ABSTRACT
Advice on what to do during an earthquake varies depending on the country. For example, evacuation is not recommended within the United States. According to Geohazards International, if you currently live in Haiti and are inside your house when you feel an earthquake, this is what to do If you are inside and can easily get out, evacuate to a safe open place covering your head and your neck. Head to an open space where walls and electric poles cannot fall on you. If you can’t evacuate, drop where you are, cover your head and neck with one arm and get under a sturdy table, and then hold on to the table legs until the shaking stops. Stay away from landslide areas and hillsides with cracks, as aftershocks can cause new landslides and existing landslides to move again.
