FYI: The 'drop, cover, and hold on' advice only applies to earthquakes. If you encounter a mountain lion, you should absolutely not drop to the ground, crawl under it, and hold on to one of its legs.

What to Do [Explained]

Transcript Under Cut

[The comic is laid out like a grid, with situations down the left-hand side (mountain lion / lightning / fire alarm / bleeding) and the solutions across the top (stand up straight, speak firmly, and slowly back away / run toward a building or hard-topped vehicle / calmly exit the building / apply firm pressure ). The grid illustrates the "match-ups", with a green square denoting a "correct" match-up and a red square denoting a bad idea.] [From the top left corner, going from left to right, top to bottom, with each first item being on its own line in the grid, the squares are as follows:] [Green square, a mountain lion (drawn as a large cat) sits on the left, on a perch. Cueball and Megan have their arms raised and are speaking to it.] Cueball: HEY. STOP. Megan: SHOO.

stand up straight, speak firmly, and slowly back away -> mountain lion

[Red square, Cueball and Megan are being chased by a mountain lion, and are running towards a building to their right.]

run toward a building or hard-topped vehicle -> mountain lion

[Red square, Cueball and Megan exit a building and approach a mountain lion.] Megan: Hello.

calmly exit the building -> mountain lion

[Red square, Cueball is putting his hands firmly on a mountain lion.]

apply firm pressure -> mountain lion

[Red square, lightning strikes a tree. Cueball is standing outside, with his arms raised, yelling at the lightning .] BOOM. Cueball: NO!

stand up straight, speak firmly, and slowly back away -> lightning

[Green square, lightning strikes a tree. Cueball and Megan run toward a building to their right.] BOOM.

run toward a building or hard-topped vehicle -> lightning

[Red square, lightning strikes a tree. Cueball and Megan exit a building and approach the lightning-struck tree.] BOOM.

calmly exit the building -> lightning

[Red square, lightning strikes a tree. Cueball pushes on the lightning-struck tree.] BOOM.

apply firm pressure -> lightning

[Red square, a fire alarm is beeping. Cueball yells at the alarm, with his arms raised.] BEEP BEEP BEEP! Cueball: HEY.

stand up straight, speak firmly, and slowly back away -> fire alarm

[Red square, a fire alarm is beeping next to a building with flames on its roof. Cueball and Megan run toward the burning building.] BEEP BEEP BEEP!

run toward a building or hard-topped vehicle -> fire alarm

[Green square, a fire alarm is beeping next to a house with flames on its roof. Cueball and Megan are exiting the burning building.] BEEP BEEP BEEP!

calmly exit the building -> fire alarm

[Red square, a fire alarm is beeping, and Cueball is trying to "suppress" the beeping sound. Behind him are flames.] BEEP BEEP BE-eep eep eep...

apply firm pressure -> fire alarm

[Red square, Cueball is bleeding from his right arm, and holds it. Megan to his right yells at him with her arms raised.] Megan: HEY! Megan: STOP IT!

stand up straight, speak firmly, and slowly back away -> bleeding

[Red square, Megan, holding a first aid kit in one hand and a bandage in the other, runs with a bleeding Cueball towards a building to their right.]

run toward a building or hard-topped vehicle -> bleeding

[Red square, Megan holds a bandage, and to the ground in front of her is a first aid kit. Cueball is walking to the right of the panel, with an injured and bloody left arm raised.] Cueball: Bye!

calmly exit the building -> bleeding

[Green square, Cueball sits in a chair and Megan is treating him by putting her hands on his injured limb. Behind her on the ground is a first aid kit.]

apply firm pressure -> bleeding

"Construction of the “largest wildlife crossing in the world” passed a significant milestone in April placing the first girders over an 8-lane freeway near Los Angeles to preserve the local mountain lion population.

After years of tireless work, erecting the first horizontal section of the 210-foot-long crossing was an historic moment for the National Wildlife Federation, the Caltrans highway department, and many private and public partners.

“We all cheered when the crane lowered the first concrete beam across the freeway, as we truly saw the bridge starting to take shape,” said an excited Beth Pratt, the California Executive Director of National Wildlife Federation.

“This structure is a testament to us all wanting a future for wildlife and mountain lions in the Santa Monica Mountains.”

Moving forward, up to 82 additional concrete girders will be placed, with each beam weighing between 126 and 140 tons. As these critical horizontal supports are placed, the structure will ultimately reconnect two long fractured global biodiversity hotspots in the Southern California region—providing safe passage for not only the cougars, but bobcats, deer, lizards, and coyotes, as they move between the Santa Monica Mountains and the Simi Hills of the Santa Susana mountain range.

[Note: The setting looks pretty rural in that rendering, but the wildlife crossing is actually only five minutes from the Los Angeles city border and the densely populated San Fernando Valley.]

For drivers on the 101 Freeway in Agoura Hills, the construction is interrupting traffic from 11:00 PM to 4:00 AM on one side of the highway each week (Northbound or Southbound). The FAQs can be found here.

CBS news estimates about 1,500 of these wildlife passages have been built both over and under major highways and rural roads across America.

Watch CBS’s recent feature that highlights crossings over America’s longest highway, US 90, which runs across the northern states, and how a new US grant program is paving the way for more crossings…"
