  • DROP / COVER / HOLD
  • Take cover immediately under a desk, chair or table for shelter.
  • Seek shelter between seating rows in a lecture hall or against a corridor wall if in a hallway.
  • Do not run outside during the shaking or use the stairways or elevators.
  • If outside, move to an open area, away from buildings.
  • Report injuries and/or building damage to the UGA Police at 911 immediately.
  • Be alert for aftershocks, do not use elevators and evacuate carefully.
  • Await instructions from first responders and do not re-enter buildings until they are deemed safe for reentry.
