Important Preparations Before an Earthquake Strikes • Follow the structural design and engineering practices when constructing a house or building. • Evaluate the structural soundness of the buildings and houses: strengthen if necessary. • Be aware of the earthquake evacuation plans for all of the buildings you occupy regularly. • Strap or bolt heavy furniture and cabinets to the wall to keep them in place. • Breakable items, harmful chemical, and flammable materials should be stored properly in the lowermost secure shelves • Prepare and know where fire extinguishers, first aid kits, alarms, and communication facilities are located and learn how to use them beforehand. • Pick safe places in each room of your home, workplace, and school and practice doing drop, cover, and hold.Essential Things to Do While an Earthquake is Happening • Stay calm. • Duck under a sturdy desk or table and hold onto it. Protect your head with your arms. • If there is no sturdy furniture, sit on the floor in a corner next to an interior wall and cover your head and neck with your arms. • Move away from glass windows, sliding doors, shelves, cabinets, and other heavy objects. • Grab anything handy to shield your head and face from falling debris and splinting glass. • Stay indoors until the shaking stops. If you must leave the building. use the stairs rather than elevators. • Stay away from trees, power lines, posts, and concrete structures and proceed cautiously to an open area. • Move away from steep. slopes, which may be affected by landslides. • Move quickly to higher grounds since tsunamis might follow • Pull over to a clear location and stop. Avoid bridges, overpasses, and power lines, if possible. • Be updated about disaster. prevention instructions from battery operated radios.Essential Safety Measures After an Earthquake • Check yourself and others for injuries. • Do not panic. • Expect and prepare for aftershocks. These aftershocks may be weaker but they may sometimes cause more damage than the major earthquake. • Look for emergency supply kits. They should include food, water, medication, clothing, and other things you may need. • If you need to evacuate, leave a message stating where you are going • Do not enter damaged buildings since they might have weakened foundations, increasing their susceptibility for collapse. There can also be a lot of falling debris. • Do not use elevators • Check water and electrical lines for damages. Turn the main switch off to avoid any incidences of electric shock • Look for and extinguish fires to reduce their chances of spreading. • Avoid fallen power lines. • Tune in to radio broadcasts and be updated on disaster prevention instructions.
