If you are trapped:
  • Tap on pipes or walls instead of shouting — it saves energy and carries farther.
  • Cover your mouth with cloth so you don't breathe dust.
  • When it shakes: drop, cover, and hold on. The "triangle of life" is a dangerous myth.

How to donate without scams

After a disaster, many fake campaigns and accounts appear. Take 30 seconds to verify.

  • Prefer organizations with a history and a known name over brand-new personal accounts.
  • Read the name carefully: scammers copy real names with tiny changes.
  • Never give bank details over calls or emails you did not request.
  • Check organizations on Charity Navigator, BBB Give.org, or CharityWatch before donating.
  • Be wary of anyone pushing extreme urgency or asking for payment in crypto or gift cards.
