Respond safely to earthquakes with this step-by-step checklist covering actions during shaking, immediate post-earthquake safety checks, building damage assessment, aftershock preparedness, and incident reporting.

Earthquakes strike without warning. This checklist is designed to be used immediately after the shaking stops — guiding occupants through the critical first minutes and hours when secondary hazards (fires, gas leaks, structural collapse) pose the greatest risk.

This checklist template is provided as a general-purpose resource and is not tailored to the regulatory requirements of any specific country, region, or jurisdiction. It is the responsibility of each organisation to review and adapt this template to ensure compliance with all applicable local laws and regulations.
