So far, no incidents of injuries or property damage have been reported.

Here are some tips on what to do in the event of an Earth Tremor:

  • If you are indoors, drop to the ground, take cover under a sturdy table or desk, and hold on until the shaking stops.
  • If you are outdoors, move away from buildings, trees, and power lines.
  • If you are driving, pull over to the side of the road and stop until the shaking stops.
