They are typically caused by the movement of rocks along faults in the Earth's crust. While these earthquakes can be unsettling, they are generally not a cause for concern. Residents who experience an earthquake are advised to remain calm and follow these steps: * Drop to the floor, take cover under a sturdy table or desk, and hold on until the shaking stops. * Stay away from windows, outside doors and walls, and anything that could fall, such as lighting fixtures or furniture. * If you are outdoors, find a clear area away from buildings, trees, and power lines. * Be prepared for aftershocks.
