My teachers have thought me few tips that could be used during earth-quakes. I don't live in a place that has frequent earth quake problems. But we have had earth quakes few times in the past. I even remember that I was under my office basement when the actual earthquake happened. Few things that I can think off to handle during earthquakes are:
Do not panic when there is an earthquake.
When earthquake is happening, there is a high possibility that building materials can fall on you when you are inside the house. To overcome that, you have to immediately get under the bottom of a strong table or cot.
Running to the open ground is the best solution.
If roof top is nearby, it can also help but running towards an open ground is something that is preferable.
If you live in a place that is prone to lots of earthquakes, then your building materials should not be fully on concrete instead it should have capabilities to withstand earthquakes. Materials made of paper or wood can help in withstanding an earth quake.
The above are some easy points that I can really think off. Hope the above points will be really helpful for you to handle earthquakes.
What Should You Do If an Earthquake Occurs? Information & how to deal with it: first, DO NOT PANIC! in the event of an earthquake. Next, read until it's finished, for tips, how to avoid, what you have to do afterwards and the supply of equipment. Earthquakes are vibrations or shocks that occur on the surface of the earth due to the sudden release of energy that creates seismic waves.
Earthquakes are measured using a Seismometer tool. Moment magnitudes are the most common scale where earthquakes occur for the whole world.
The Rickter scale is a scale reported by a national seismology observatory that is measured on a local magnitude scale of 5 magnitude. both scales are the same as long as their number ranges are valid. a 3 magnitude earthquake or more is mostly invisible and its magnitude 7 is more likely to cause serious damage in large areas, depending on the depth of the earthquake.
AVOID the following in an earthquake Door: can be closed hard and cause injury. Windows, bookshelves, high furniture and lighting fixtures. You can be hurt by broken glass or heavy objects. Elevator. If you are in the elevator during an earthquake, press the button for each floor and exit as quickly as possible. Electrical or suture lines - at least 10 meters to avoid injury. Coastline. An earthquake can trigger large ocean waves called tsunamis.
If you are near the shoreline in a high-risk area during a strong earthquake, immediately move ashore or to a higher place and stay there until the authorities / authorities say the area is safe. How to deal with an earthquake .
When in the house: Don't panic and don't run out, hide under a table or bed. If not there, protect the head with a pillow or other object. Stay away from bookshelves, cabinets and window glass. Be careful of the ceiling (roof) that might collapse, objects that hang like decorations on the wall and so on.
When outdoors: Stay away from tall buildings, walls, steep cliffs, electricity centers and electricity poles, billboards, tall trees and so on. Try to reach open areas. Stay away from shelves, glass windows and doors.
When in a public / public room: Don't panic and don't run out because it's likely to be filled with people. Stay away from objects that are easy to slip / fall like shelves, cabinets, window glass and so on.
When driving a vehicle: Stop immediately in an open place. Do not stop on a bridge or under an overpass / crossing bridge. When in a shopping mall, cinema, and mall ground floor: Do not cause panic or victims of panic. Follow all guidance from the staff or security.
