Rescue From Debris

  • DO NOT light a match.
  • DO NOT move about or kick up dust.
  • Cover your mouth with a handkerchief or clothing.
  • Rhythmically tap on a pipe or wall so that rescuers can hear where you are.
  • Shout only as a last resort when you hear sounds and think someone will hear you; shouting can cause a person to inhale dangerous amounts of dust.
