During an earthquake,you should know what to do.If the earthquake strikes while you’re inside a house,you should lie on the floor under a strong table or other furniture.If there is no furniture,you can cover your head with your arms and keep still in the corner of the room.You should keep away from windows,glass walls,or anything that can fall.

If you are in bed,hold firmly onto your bed and make use of a pillow to safeguard your head.You may use a doorway but only when it is close to you.It should also be considered whether it is strong enough to deal with the load.

If you are running out,do not use lifts,even if they work.Electricity may go out at any time.Many injuries happen when people try to rush out.This means you ought to stay in your house or perhaps wherever you are.

When you stay outdoors,you should stay far from buildings,power wires or lights.You should be in the open until the quake stops.Remember that many earthquake deaths outside the house come from falling-apart walls,flying glass and other falling things.

If an earthquake strikes and you are driving,you should pull up to the side of the highway and stop as quickly as possible.You ought not to stop under trees,buildings or energy wires.Don’t stop in the middle of the street as it could trouble others.

When trapped,you shouldn’t move.Your mouth should be covered with a piece of clothing or a handkerchief.This is because it is possible for you to breathe in some dust.Do not shout whenever possible.You should only shout in the end to get help from rescuers.
