Earthquake experience can be very frightening for anyone. Knowing what to do safely during the earthquake is important. It can help in reducing anxiety and increases the awareness and ability to deal with it properly. No one knows when an earthquake will hit or how damaging it will be. The following are some simple tips that could save your life.
Create an earthquake plan, which includes the actions that you and your family will take when the earthquake occurs, and identify “safe zones” within the house to shelter in when an earthquake strikes. Prepare things like high-energy food, flashlight, radio, batteries and bottled water on hand, as during a quake, it is likely that electricity and water will be cut off.
If you are at home when an earthquake strikes, get under a large item of furniture and hold on or stay in a corner. If the ceiling falls down it will land on the edge of the furniture and slope towards the floor. Stay in your seat if you are in a stadium or a theater. Get below the level of the back of the seat and cover your head and neck with your arms.
If you are walking outdoors when an earthquake strikes, move into an open area away from buildings, street lights and glass windows. These could fall and injure you. If you are driving when an earthquake strikes, carefully pull over at the side of the road and don’t get out of your car until the shakes pass.
After the earthquake, avoid routes with tunnels or bridges in case of aftershocks. Electricity and water supplies are likely to be cut off, so save your water supplies. Listen to a battery-operated radio for emergency instructions and information. Use the telephone for emergency calls only.
