Earthquakes
strike suddenly at any time of the day or night, but there's no way to tell
when. If an earthquake happens, it may cause many deaths, injuries and damage.
So you need a good preparation ahead of time. Decide how and where your family
will get together if separated. Choose an out--of--state friend or relative
that the family members can call after the quake to report where they are and
how they are. Know the safe places in each room: under the strong tables, desks,
or against inside walls. Keep enough food, water and other things, including a
flashlight, a radio, medicines and clothing.
During the
earthquake, you should keep a clear head and never be too nervous to know what
to do. Protect your head and neck with your arms. If possible, take a book, a
pillow or any other things to protect yourself from falling glass and ruins. If
you are indoors, you must immediately lie under any strong furniture. If
outdoors, move to an open area away from trees, buildings, walls or
power-poles. If you are in a narrow valley, move to the centre of it and look
up for falling stones. If you are in a car, move to the side of the road and
stop the car. Do not stop near buildings, power lines or on or under bridges.
Stay in your car until the shaking stops.
Do not
move a badly injured person unless he is in great danger after the earthquake.
Do not use the telephone immediately unless there is a serious injury or fire.
Turn on your radio for instructions and news reports. Be prepared for
aftershocks. If you want to leave your home, post a message inside your home
telling your family members where you can be found.
