Earthquake Outdoors


If you’re outdoors during an earthquake, move to a clear area away from trees, signs, buildings, electrical wires and poles. Move away from buildings, street- lights, and utility wires. Once in the open, stay there until the shaking stops.


If you’re driving , pull over to the side of the road
and stop. Avoid overpasses, power lines, and other hazards. Stay inside the vehicle until the shaking is over. Stop as quickly as safety permits and stay in the vehicle.

The greatest danger exists directly outside buildings, at exits, and alongside exterior walls. Many of the outdoor fatalities have occurred when people ran outside of buildings only to be killed by falling debris from collapsing walls. Ground movement during an earthquake is seldom the direct cause of death or in- jury. Most earthquake-related casualties result from collapsing walls, flying glass, and falling objects. 

Bridges can collapse, which crush you. If you are on a bridge, and it collapses, you will fall down to whatever is below it.

Ground movement during an earthquake is seldom the direct cause of death or injury. Most earthquake related casualties are from falling objects, flying glass, and collapsing buildings.



App finds

The research team at the Human Interface Technology Laboratory New Zealand (HIT Lab NZ) has been investigating software tools to create heritage interpretation mobile applications that can guide visitors by showing stories, pictures, and video clips based on the users’ location, and even presenting Augmented Reality visualization - 3D models appearing in the real world.
