A SAFE HOME

It is sad but true that people die in earthquakes from falling furniture （家具）and bricks. Earthquake safety is very important and there is more to it than just keeping buildings from falling down. So if your home is in an earthquake area, you should prepare carefully before the earthquake comes.

First, make sure you buy a house which is earthquake safe. All pipes should be fixed to the wall and all walls should be especially thick and strong. You also have to make sure that there are bolts underneath your house. They are one of the most important ways of protecting a house. Make sure the building has no broken windows and is well repaired.

Second, look at the objects in your house. Those in the living room, which are the most likely to hurt us, are computers, televisions and lamps. They can be tied to tables or stuck to them so they won’t easily move around. The kitchen, which is also very dangerous, must have strong doors on all the cupboards. This is the place where

many small things are stored that might fall down. The water heater （水暖气）should have a case round it too. Windows are a special problem. When they break, glass can cause many accidents. It is better to use safety glass if you can, especially for pictures.

Always remember: “It is better to be safe than sorry.”
