Earthquake Q&A
Question: Do all earthquakes cause damage1?
Answer:
Most earthquakes cause only minor2 shaking.
Southern California has about 10,000 earthquakes every
year. Some of them are so mild3 that people don’t even
feel them.

Question: What can I do to be safe in an earthquake?
Answer:
If you’re in a building in an earthquake, get under a
table or desk and hold onto it. If you’re outside, move to
an open area away from trees, buildings or power lines.

Question: What should I do to keep safe in an earthquake? Answer:
The best way to survive4 an earthquake is to take cover
under a sturdy5 table. Get down low and place your hands
over your head. You can even duck down6 in a door frame or
curl up7 next to a couch or bed. Don’t go outside, though.
Many people die from falling debris8.
