What to do in an Earthquake
China has suffered a lot in the earthquake took place in May in Sichuan Province,and many people died because of their lack in knowledge when facing the earthquake.Now I will talk about the things you should do before,during and after an earthquake.
Getting prepared well can cut down the loss in a great way.Things may be in chores after a major earthquake,so you should be prepared to fend yourself for at least three days,preferably a week.The most important thing is food and drink,as humans can live without food or drink.A first aid kit is also necessary in case that you or someone around you are hurt in the earthquake.It is also wise to discuss the insurance with your agent,which may be worthwhile.
Behaving correctly during the earthquake is so important that once you do something wrong,you will face more danger.What to do during an earthquake depends on where you are,while one thing in common is that you should stay away from things that are likely to fall down or smash,such as heavy furniture,windows,buildings,and tunnels.If you are indoors,duck or drop down to the floor,take cover under a sturdy desk,table or other furniture.If you are outside,get into the open.If you are driving,stop somewhere far out of the normal traffic pattern if possible.You must be careful of the falling rocks when you are in a mountainous area,and you must move quickly to higher ground or several hundred yards inland when you are at the beach.
Knowing how to manage after an earthquake can be of great help.The thing you should do immediately is to check for fire or fire hazards.Do listen to the radio for important information and instructions,for the aftershocks can also be especially harmful.If the phone is working,only use it in case of emergency.In this way the line will not be crowded and people who are extremely eager to use the phones can use them.
Above all,you need to stay in calm and believe that things will be better.Always try to help others trapped in the earthquake if you can and encouraging each other to overcome the difficulties is also a marvelous thing to do.
