Your Earthquake Behavior Tips.
Your earthquake behavior.
I’d like to discuss the issue of an earthquake. I want you to prepare for this terrible disaster to be on the safe side. In fact our nature always gives us a lot of signs that an earthquake is somewhere nearby. Among those signs of coming earthquake I know such things as smell of a gas in areas where it couldn’t be, worried birds and domestic animals, outbreaks in the form of scattered light of lightning and so on.
What should you do during an earthquake? First of all, remember that the most important thing is to protect yourself from debris, glass, heavy objects in the house. And certainly don’t be exposed to fear and panic.
If an earthquake risk force is estimated at above 5 points that means from the very beginning you’ll notice chandeliers swaying, dishes dropping. From the moment when you feel the first tremors, vibrations you’ll have 10-20 seconds to take an appropriate decision.
If you are on the ground floor, you need to leave the building. May be you can jump out of the window. You can hide under the beams of the frame, under the load – bearing columns, just at the inner walls of the capital. If you have children, take them with you. The most dangerous of all are glazed exterior wall openings, windows, and your corner room especially on the top floor. Do not use the elevator. Beware of stairs and exit doors. Many accidents occur when people try to enter the building or leave it.
By the way you crawl under a strong desk or a bed, covering your head with your hands. Children in school should hide under desks. If you have extra seconds turn off electricity and gas. Extinguish any fire and no longer kindle no light, no match. You can only use a pocket flashlight.
Naturally, during the earthquake a panic may arise. This scaring feeling is going to enter in all apartments studies as an important risk factor. Stop those who are going to jump from balconies and windows and floors above the first one. Do not lose control of your children.
As soon as tremors stop, immediately go out. Keep in mind that such things as cornices, balconies, wires, pipes are considered to be potentially dangerous. You should abandon the building as soon as possible. Get away from this. Go to the open area. Immediately after the earthquake it is dangerous to set a fire. You must immediately inspect debris. Help to extract wounded people out of there. In this case you should act with the extreme caution. Do not take your phone without an extreme need because the station will be overloaded. Don’t flushing the toilet until you verify some sewerage there because you shouldn’t waste water in vain in this case. And of course try to be cheerful.
