How to act in the event of an earthquake in the Dominican Republic?

The Dominican Republic is an actively seismic country, so it is important to be prepared for an eventual earthquake. Should one occur, follow these guidelines from the National Center for Seismology (CNS) to stay safe:

  • Stay calm and find a safe place: If you are in a building, crouch under a strong desk or table. If you are on the street, stay away from buildings, poles and power lines.
  • Protect your head and neck: If you are in a house or building, crouch down and place your arms over your head and neck. If you are on the street, stay away from glass and poles, etc. and cover yourself with your arms.
  • Don’t use the elevator: Elevators can become trapped during an earthquake.
  • If you are in a car, stop in a safe place and away from buildings.
  • Do not use the phone unless it is an emergency: Excessive use of the phone can overwhelm the lines and make it difficult to communicate with emergency services.

Likewise, Gestión Mix recommends that you make a family emergency plan and have a kit that includes perishable food, water, medications and other essential items.
