How to Stay Safe During Earthquakes

Morocco experienced a magnitude 7 quake on Friday night.

Provided by the Goverment, here are some tips to remain safe during this time:

Indoors

Stay away from windows or exterior walls, as they can lead to harm in the case of aftershocks or in the case of falling debris.

Try turning off water, electricity, or gas sources, so as to not result in any fires or leaks.

Stay away from any large unstable furniture that could cause damage if it falls on you due to strong after shocks.

Do not rush towards exits or try to exit your building in a hurry. Remain calm.

Outdoors

Stay away from buildings as they can be prone to damage, causing you harm in the process.

Head towards large empty spaces such as parks or public squares, as they have less structures prone to damage.

If driving, stop your car if you feel any shocks and avoid driving over bridges or into tunnels.

Communicate

Keep communicating with family and friends to ensure each other that you are okay and to exchange information.

Keep up to date with news, to stay informed on any official announcements or safety directives.

Anxiety in such moments is a normal thing. Remain calm and follow official instructions when they are available.

If possible there has been a request:

The Marrakech Regional Blood Transfusion Center called for blood donation following the magnitude 7 earthquake on the Richter scale, which hit the Marrakech-Safi region on Friday evening and was felt in several cities in the Kingdom.

The Blood Transfusion Center has thus called on all citizens to go massively, from the early hours of Saturday, to its structures to donate their blood.

A major mobilisation is also observed at several health facilities in Marrakech, such as the Mohammed VI Hospital Center, in order to provide the necessary care to the wounded.

Thank you so much. It was a rough night and my heart breaks for the lives lost. I am safe. HAMDOULLAH.
