Do you know what to do during an earthquake? If you visit an earthquake zone in the near future, you’ll need to be prepared. Here are some tips how to protect ourselves during earthquake.
Initially, when it happen when an earthquake starts you must stay calm. If you’re indoors, first you may hear the noise of an earthquake before the building starts shaking. If you are in a house, you’ll have time to get out. But if you’re in an apartment building, you’ll probably be safer if you stay where you are. If you are indoors in a crowded area, you have to know that crowing will cause more accident so don’t run to a near exit. Everyone will be doing that. If the building starts shaking, get under heavy furniture, such as a table of behind a sofa. If there isn’t any furniture, sit next to a wall. If the wall falls, it may create a space, and you can hide there. Some people think you’ll be safe if you stand in a doorway. This is not true! Don’t stand or sit near a windows, either. You may be seriously injured if the window breaks. And  watch out for tall shelves, items may fall and injure you too.
If you’re outdoors, if you’re in a car, stop and stay in the car. You’ll be safer if you don’t get out and try to run. If you aren’t in a car, don’t go into a building. And don’t stand near power lines. You could be electrocuted if they fall. When you are in the village, you’ll be safer if you can get to higher ground, but remember that earthquake can also cause avalanches of snow or earth on a mountain. If you’re near a river, remember there could be a flood after earthquake. Also, if you’re near a volcano, you should get as far away as you can. Earthquake can often start volcanic eruptions.
Finally, indoors or outdoors, if you have a cell phone and you’re injured call the emergency services. They need to know where you are! And be prepare for aftershocks. Do not return into building or rooms.
Hope this information will help you in the face of an earthquake that can comes every time and everywhere.
