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.

Community Government Introduction. A community is a place where people live, work, and play. A community can be large, like a city, or small, like a town or village. People run their community with a government. The people in the government are part of the community. City Government Leaders. The mayor is the leader of the community. If someone wants to be mayor, he or she runs in an election. When people vote, they make a choice. People vote for a mayor in an election every two or four years. People vote for the person they think will be the best mayor. The person with the most votes becomes mayor. The mayor is in charge of many departments, such as the police department and the fire department. The mayor is usually in charge of the town or city council. The council decides how money is spent in the community. It might spend money to build or fix roads, buildings, and parks. It has meetings for people to talk about ideas for the community. Laws in a Community. The mayor and council also work together to make laws. Laws are important. A community needs laws to keeр people safe and keep the community clean. Some laws say how fast cars can go on the roads. Other laws say people must not throw their trash on the ground. Police officers make sure people follow the laws. They also help people who are in trouble. When people break the laws, they may go to court. In court, a judge or a jury decides whether someone broke the law. A judge is the head of the court. A jury is a group of people from the community. The jury listens to both sides and decides whether someone broke the law. Sometimes there is no jury, and the judge decides. If the judge or jury decides that someone broke the law, the judge decides the punishment. Other Jobs in the Community Other people in the government also help the community. Firefighters put out fires and help people get away from fires. Emergency workers help people who are sick or hurt. They may take people to a hospital. Conclusion. The community government is important. It makes a difference in the lives of people every day. The government gives people in a community a good and safe place to live. People can make a difference in their government, too. They can run in an election. They can vote. They can speak at community meetings. They can also offer to help in parks and other places. What can you do to make a difference?
