Do n’t panic, earthquake-proof tips come to help

Don't panic during a major earthquake

A destructive earthquake takes only 12 seconds on average from the feeling of vibration to the destruction of a building. In this short period of time, you must not panic. You should make a quick decision to ensure safety according to your environment. If you live in a bungalow, then you can quickly run outside. If you live in a building, you should never jump off the building. You should immediately cut off the electric switch, turn off the gas, and temporarily evacuate to a place with a small span, such as a toilet, or under a table or bed.

Many people find hiding place first

Schools, shops, theaters and other places where people gather are most likely to avoid panic if they encounter an earthquake. They should immediately hide under desks, chairs or sturdy objects, and then evacuate in an orderly manner after the earthquake. Teachers and other on-site staff must calmly direct people to avoid shocks on the spot and must not take the lead in running around.

Away from the danger zone

If you encounter an earthquake on the street, use your hands to protect your head and quickly move away from the building to the center of the street. If you encounter an earthquake in the suburbs, you should pay attention to stay away from cliffs, steep slopes, river banks and high-voltage lines. Cars and trains on the road must stop immediately.

Buried to save energy

If unfortunately buried in the rubble after the earthquake, try to keep calm and try to save yourself. When you can't get out of danger, you should save your physical strength, try to find water and food, create living conditions, and wait patiently for rescuers.
