Four common senses for self-help in the event of an earthquake

Don't rush in the event of a major earthquake

In the short period of time between a devastating earthquake and a building being damaged, it takes only 12 seconds on average to make a safe decision based on your environment. If you live in a bungalow, then you can quickly run out the door. If you live in a building, do not jump off the building, immediately cut off the electric switch, turn off the gas, temporarily take shelter in a small span such as a bathroom, or under a table, bed, etc., and evacuate quickly after the earthquake to prevent strong aftershocks.

When there are many people, find a hiding place first

In the event of an earthquake in schools, shops, theaters and other places where people gather, it is best not to panic, and 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 the shock on the spot, and must not take the lead in running around.

Keep away from danger zones

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

When buried, you have to conserve your strength

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

Emergency earthquake prevention action in the emergency earthquake prevention studio in the event of an earthquake

Earthquake damage is mainly caused by earthquake-proof damage to buildings and falling objects. If there is an earthquake forecast, you can act according to the government notice and leave the building. But in most cases, earthquakes occur suddenly. Get the best protection from your own emergency action within 12 seconds.

The solution is to turn off the gas and electricity switches immediately in the event of an earthquake, such as at home, and extinguish the fire. If you live in a bungalow and are close to the door, you should rush out of the door.

If you live in a building, you can take refuge under a sturdy bed or table, or in a room with a small span, such as a bathroom or kitchen, or in a triangular space with support (see Indoor Protective Actions in Lesson 3). Protect your head from foreign objects, cover your mouth and nose with a mask, and keep your body low.

Do not jump off the building or window to avoid falling or being punctured by the glass, do not go to the balcony, do not take the elevator, do not go down the stairs, do not run around, and do not crowd with the flow of people, these places are easy to collapse and collapse, crush and step on the injury. Especially for felt earthquakes, it is especially necessary to prevent blind action and follow commands, otherwise it will cause greater losses. All indoor personnel should be evacuated as soon as possible after the initial earthquake, in squares, parks and other places to avoid aftershocks.

When in the underground shopping mall, you must follow the instructions of the on-site staff, do not panic and crowd, avoid crowds to prevent falling, and cross your hands in front of your chest to protect yourself and bear external pressure with your shoulders and back.

When moving with people, avoid being pushed to walls or fences, and untie your collar to keep your breathing open. You can also hide in the counter, frame, squatting in the corner of the inner wall and the side of the pillar to protect your head.

If you are in a movie theater, gymnasium and other places, you can squat under the row of chairs on the spot, protect your head with a schoolbag and other objects.3 Pay attention to avoid hanging objects such as chandeliers and fans. The effect of civil air defense engineering in preventing earthquakes is excellent, which has been proved by the practice of Tangshan and Baotou earthquakes.

So as long as you have time, you can enter the civil air defense project or the basement. Because the damage to urban buildings caused by earthquakes and the impact of nuclear explosions have many similarities, the principles and methods of protection are also similar.

When driving on public electricity and automobiles, you should hold on to the handrails and lower your head to avoid falling or bruising, and lower your center of gravity and hide near your seat to prevent accidents. Wait until the car has stopped and the earthquake has passed before getting out of the car. The driver should close the windows, do not lock the doors, leave the car keys on the car, and move with the people in the car.

If people are buried in the rubble, try to move what they can move around them, expand the space, and reinforce them to prevent aftershocks. At this time, do not use an open flame to prevent flammable gas leakage and explosion. Cover your mouth and nose to prevent toxic gases from leaking nearby.

Then look for an opportunity to call for help and wait for help.
