Earthquake is a common natural disaster in life. Generally speaking, after an earthquake, if it is a slight earthquake, the probability of people being hurt is very low. However, when a strong earthquake occurs, people have a great chance to survive by mastering the method of earthquake escape.
1. Hide under the table and other solid furniture.
The shaking time in the earthquake is about one minute. At this time, avoid under the table with low center of gravity and firm and firmly grasp the table leg. When there is no table or other place to hide, at least protect your head with cushion.
2. Open the door and ensure the exit.
Because of the shaking of the earthquake, the doors and windows of the reinforced concrete structure buildings will be misplaced and cannot be opened. There have been cases of people being closed in the houses. So please open the door and keep the exit in case of aftershocks. Usually we should think about how to escape in case of being locked in the house.
3. Protect your head outdoors and avoid dangerous places.
When the earth shakes violently and stands unsteadily, people will have something to lean on and grasp. Most of the doorposts and walls around us will be the objects for supporting. However, these seemingly solid things are actually dangerous.
During the 1987 Miyagi earthquake, many people were killed and injured due to the collapse of prefabricated concrete walls and doorposts. Therefore, do not close to the cement precast slab wall, door post, etc.
In the bustling streets and building areas, the most dangerous things are the glass windows, billboards and other things falling down and injuring people. Take care to protect your head with your hands or handbags. 4. Turn off the fire immediately in case of shaking and put out the fire immediately in case of fire.
In an earthquake, there are three chances to turn off the fire. For the first time, when there is a small shake before the big shake. That is, in the moment of perceiving the small shaking, they immediately say to each other: "earthquake! Turn off the fire!" turn off the heating furnace and gas furnace in use.
The second chance is when the big shake stops. It is very dangerous to turn off the fire when there is a big shake, such as the water bottle on the gas stove and the heating stove falling down. After the big shaking stops, turn off the fire again.
The third chance was after the fire. Even in case of fire, it can be put out within 1-2 minutes. In order to put out the fire quickly, please place the fire extinguisher and fire bucket near the fire site.
5. Don't run out in a hurry.
After the earthquake, it's very dangerous to run out in a panic, smashing the broken glass, bricks and tiles on the roof, billboards, etc. In addition, there is also a risk of collapse of prefabricated concrete walls, vending machines, etc. do not close to these objects.
The five principles introduced above are the skills that we can master for the earthquake escape. Generally speaking, to increase the probability of survival in the earthquake, we should master the response measures for these emergencies at ordinary times, so that we can take the response measures in time.
