1. The worst
danger is over at the first minute of a major earthquake. Always try to
maintain presence of mind. Be calm.
2. When earthquakes
occur, the first impulse should be to seek cover or take refuge under a large
piece of strong furniture when one happens to be inside a building.
3. When
caught by the tremor while in the streets or between buildings, take refuge
under a strong structure. Beware of broken down electric wires, falling debris,
loose ceilings slabs and crumbling walls. Avoid staying or being caught in
narrow alleys, between tall structures or wall, beneath steep precipices,
riverbanks, etc.
4.
Aftershocks are not as dangerous as the main shock. After the main shock, stay
away from unstable objects or structures, damaged objects, ceiling, etc.
Aftershocks may cause damaged structures of loosened objects to fall.
5.
Extinguish at once fires that may start anywhere around you before attempting
to save lives.
6. Strong
earthquakes are: nature’s warning of an impending tidal wave. One should got to
higher ground and away from landslide area.
7. Do not
believe in wild rumors going around. Listen to instructions from authorities.
8. Observe
good sanitation and keep public order.
☺☺☺
