Basic Tips On What To Do During Earthquakes

Some Basic Tips during Earthquake


1.  Don’t panic.  You can’t think well on what to do if you panicked during an earthquake.

2.  If you are inside the house, and you still have time get out, get into the open. Stay clear of power lines, trees or anything that could fall on you.

3.  If you don't have enough time to go out, and you are still in a building or inside the house, get under and hold unto a desk or table. Stay clear of heavy furnitures, appliances, glass windows/doors.

4. If you're in the office building, stay away from windows and outside walls and DO NOT USE the elevator, use the stairs instead.

5. If you're in a coastal area, go to high places immediately where you are safer from tsunamis or tidal waves. Just pack on some important things like foods, water and other things which is very essential to survive, just in case.

6. You better move out from your house if you live in or near the mountain coz their might be a potential landslides. Likewise, if you're near the rivers, seas and oceans, be aware that tsunamis are associated with huge earthquakes. Get to high ground and a place which is safer.

If you are in a crowded place, don't panick and do not rush for exit. Stay calm and cover your head and neck  with your hands and arms. This is to avoid injuries due to stampede.

And PRAY to God for protection.
