What to do if there is an earthquake in Iceland

  1. Drop, take cover under a sturdy table and hold on until the shaking stops.
  2. Don't run outside while it shakes. Stay away from windows, building fronts and objects that could fall.
  3. If you are on the coast and the shaking is strong or long, move to high ground without waiting for a tsunami warning.
  4. When the shaking stops, follow the local authorities' instructions and let your family know you are safe.

What to do during a rain, wind or storm warning

  3. Stay away from rivers, gullies and the seafront when waves are high.
  4. Keep your phone charged and check with your airline or accommodation for any changes.
