■During an Evacuation

Shut off the circuit breakers and the gas valves to prevent fire.
Wear comfortable shoes that you have worn for a while.
Do not use the elevator in the case of earthquake or fire.
Keep away from rivers when there is a risk of flooding or landslides.
Avoid areas where there is a risk of collapse or falling, such as near a fence. If it’s difficult to exit through the front door in case of emergency, evacuate to a next-door neighbor's unit through your balcony. Check the safer evacuation route in advance and break the partition by kicking.

Extra Notes:

Beware of injuries when breaking the partition wall. Wear sturdy shoes and do not hit the frame part of the partition when kicking.
For safety reasons, keep escape routes clear at all times.
Check your breaker if the indoor electricity is not available although the building’s power is restored.
