After an earthquake, it is important to clean up any debris and broken glass that may have been caused by the earthquake. Wear protective clothing and gloves when cleaning up. Dispose of any hazardous materials, such as broken glass, in a safe manner. Check for any structural damage to buildings and make sure that any gas or electrical lines are shut off. If there is flooding, pump out the water and dry out the area. If there is any standing water, it should be treated with chlorine or other disinfectant.
