What you should do:
Do not re-enter damaged buildings, including your home, until authorities tell you it is safe to do so.
If more landslides happen, stay safe by taking the following actions.
If
you become trapped under debris:
- Do not light a match.
- Stay as still as possible
and cover your mouth with a handkerchief or clothing.
- Tap on a pipe or wall so
rescuers can find you. Shout only as a last resort.
Inside:- Move to the part of building
that is as far as possible from the approaching landslide and take shelter
under a table or bench.
Driving:- Travel using recommended routes.
- Know your travel routes as travel may take longer due to
closed roads and poor driving conditions.
Outdoors:- Move away quickly and
keep clear of steep slopes, trees, powerlines and poles.
