What is happening?

What to do

1. Enter a sturdy building. Use a basement or windowless interior room.
2. Inside sturdy building: lowest accessible floor, windowless interior room. Shield head and body with arms, blanket or pillow.
3. No reachable building and flying debris: park out of traffic, keep belt fastened, head below windows and covered. The car remains dangerous.
4. If injured or trapped, call. Say where you are and what prevents escape. Do not cross water or wires for help.
5. Outside, no reachable building/car: if a lower area away from traffic and water/flood risk is safely reachable, lie low and cover head. No flood-prone ditch or bridge. No option guarantees safety.
6. Unable to get down floors or lie: no forced stairs/unsafe transfer. Reachable interior room away from windows. Shield head with arms/pillow and ask help. No lift.
7. Afterward, stay out of damaged buildings/away from lines. Fire/flood/collapse: use that guide. No water-filled basement or unsafe route. Injured/trapped: tell rescue location.
8. No safe route or unable to move: shield head/body where you are and request rescue with location when possible. No water/wire/debris crossing for uncertain shelter.
