Eight Guidance You May Use when Earthquake Happens Suddenly
Below are eight guidance that you may use when earthquake happens suddenly, wherever you are.
1. In the house.
The vibrations will be felt during several minutes. What you should do is safe your life and your family’s. Hide under the table to protect yourself from the fallen materials. If you do not have any appropriate table, protect your head with pillow.
If your are cooking, set of the fire immediately to prevent danger. If it is possible, run to open space.
2. In school.
Protect yourself by hiding under the table. Protect your head with bag or book. Do not be panic. If the shake is calmed down, move out in row toward the door, seek the open space, do not stand near any building, pole or tree.
3. Outside the house.
Protect your head and avoid the danger things. In the office area, the danger is raised from glasses and billboards. Protect your head with hands, bag or anything you are bringing.
4. In building, mall, theatre or mall basement.
Do not cause any panic and do not be panic. Follow the instruction from the officer.
5. In the lift.
Do not use lift when earthquake or fire happens. If you feel the earthquake vibration when you are in the lift, press all knobs. When the lift is stopped, go out from it immeadiately. If you are trapped inside the lift, call the building manager through intercom.
6. In the train.
Hold pole in the train so you will not fall if the train is stopped suddenly. Do not be panic and listen to the explanation from the train officer. Misunderstand the explanation will cause panic.
7. In the car.
When earthquake happens you will be difficult to control your car. When there is big shaking, you will be difficult to stop the car. You will loose control and it is difficult to drive the car. Go away from the road intersection, put your car in the left side of the road and stop the car. Follow the instruction from car radio. If you have to move out from the car, unlock it.

8. At mountain or at the beach.
There are possibilities that land slide will happen from the top of mountain. Move out to the safe place. At the beach, potential danger comes from tsunami. If you feel the shakes and the signs of tsunami, flee to the plateaus.

Thak you, Eunice. IWhere I live there are rarely earthquakes, just small tremors from far away – and they are rare. That means we don’t think about such dangers. It is important to be reminded now and then so we are not caught by surprise.
