Earthquake Survival Tips
Would you know what to do during a really big earthquake? Experts have looked into matter carefully. Look over the following tips they have for us.
If the ground begins shaking while you are
driving, pull over and stay in your car. If
you are in a building, try to get near a
strong wall. The corner of the room or the
space under a big doorway is the safest. As soon as the quake is over, check the gas pipe in the building. Gas fires often result from earthquakes. These tips may prove to be lifesavers. We should, therefore, keep them in mind. Remember to always hope for the best but prepare for the worst.
Escape in the School
●If it has an earthquake when having classes, the students should listen to the
teacher’s instruction, protect their heads and hide under the desks.
●If it has an earthquake when the students are in the sports ground, they can crouch
on the spot and protect their heads with hands. Be sure to keep away with high
building and dangerous objects.
●Don’t go back to the classroom.
●Retreat in order after the earthquake.
Escape in Public Places
Listen to the command of the site workers. Don’t be scared and don’t rush towards the exits. Try to avoid crowds. Avoid to be squeezed to the wall or barriers.
●At theaters and gyms: crouch down or slip under the chairs; avoid suspending
lights and electric fans; protect the head with schoolbags; after the earthquake,
listen to the command of the workers, retreat in an organized way.
●In department stores, bookstores, museums or subway: find firm counters,
commodities (low furniture etc.) or a pillar, or the corner of a wall to crouch
down on the spot, protect the heads with hands or other objects; keep away from glass windows, glass counters or show counters; keep away from tall cupboards;
keep away from advertisement boards and other suspending objects.
On buses or trolley buses: Grasp the handles to avoid being injured; lower the center of gravity; hide near the seats; get off after the earthquake passed.。
