    A week ago, an earthquake off the coast of Cyprus was also felt in Israel.
    The IDF Homefront command published steps Israelis must consider in case of an earthquake.
    When indoors: Exit the building if possible or enter a secure room and leave doors and windows open.
    If no such room exist, step into building stairwell and walk down until it is possible to go outside.
    If none of those options are available, sit under a heavy piece of furniture to protect against falling objects.
    When outdoors: remain in an open area as far as possible from buildings, power lines and object, which may fall.
    When on the sea shore: move away from the water to a distance of at least one kilometer, or clime up to a fourth story or higher, in case of tsunami. Make use of signs directing an escape from the shore.
    When in the car, on the road: Stop at the side of the road and wait for the tremor to end. Avoid overpasses or bridges.
