as a site PM....I would:
1. make sure I'm in a safe location
2. perform a quick evaluation to determine the extent of the issue/danger
3. focus on my family's safety (if needed) then people's safety in the near vicinity
4. once all are reasonably safe - determine plan to get the site back to normal operating condition (given that it's not godzilla or some major national event)
Meade This is something bigger than Godzilla LOL :) I agree the most concern would be safety, you, your team, your family
The site might not get back to normal for few days, weeks, months etc

We had this issue one time and we used that time for inventory taking and counting nuts and bolts. There is always something you can utilise your team, subcontractors nd labor with.
Kevin, my friend I see you are still worried about work to be done Just run brother for your life, free your team for safety, join your family and wait for the word of mouth from neighbor because no TV no radio complete doomsday ;)

However this is a real natural disaster. Majorana Force Need to focus on safety ----- I will be looking for a horse for transportation LOL
Then I will make sure I collect/control as much clean water as possible, as this will become the new gold in this "brave new world" ;-)
