If a severe earthquake hits during class…
◆ DUCK & TAKE COVER ◆ OPEN ALL DOORS ◆ DO NOT RUN OUTSIDE
If a severe earthquake occurs with enough intensity to threaten your safety, follow all emergency procedures as instructed by your faculty instructor. Stay calm and wait for major tremors to subside.
Do not try to run outside. Shield your head from falling objects using your clothes, bag, binder, or any object that would provide some measure of protection. Move away from windows. Quickly duck under a desk or other makeshift shelter. Persons nearest to the exits should open doors to secure them.
Even after major tremors have subsided, do not evacuate the classroom without an abundance of caution. Wait for instructions issued via the public address system or in-person by university officials. Unless there are secondary disasters that are of immediate concern, you should remain inside due to the following reasons: (1) All university facilities are built to high earthquake-resistant standards; (2) staying in your classroom will facilitate communication and the issuing of instructions; (3) unnecessary evacuation can encourage panic; and (4) leaving the classroom can expose you to unforeseen dangers such as falling objects.
Once major tremors have subsided, be wary of secondary disasters such as fires and aftershocks which may occur before instructions are issued via the public address system or in-person by university officials. When secondary disasters are of an immediate concern, and class instructors feel impelled to evacuate the classroom or the facility, you should follow the instructions issued by the instructor and proceed with evacuation. The designated Temporary Evacuation Areas for buildings on Waseda Campus are listed under a separate document entitled “Temporary Evacuation Area Map for Waseda Campus.”
When evacuating the classroom, please take the following precautions:
Once outside, please stay together. We will conduct a headcount before heading to the Temporary Evacuation Area (一時避難場所Ichiji hinan basho). Follow these precautions when evacuating.
Once you have arrived at the evacuation area, be ready to render first-aid to the injured and assist them to first-aid centers. Depending on the circumstances, it may be necessary to evacuate to the Designated Evacuation Sites (広域避難場所Kouiki hinan basho).
