properly handle furniture and other interior objects so that they do not fall
off in the event of an earthquake. The effects of an earthquake on the
Reykjanes Peninsula, can be felt in a large area, and the capital area is not
excluded.The Scientific Advisory Board, therefore, encourages
people to check with their home and workplaces and fix unstable hanging
objects. Information on earthquake
