At the same time to remove all flammable and explosive items. The bed should be moved to a place far away from the glass window. Put shatterproof tape on windows. Shock-absorbing gear bags are placed where they can be easily grabbed. In order to get out of danger, you may only have time to grab one item, emergency items are among them and it will help you through. These items include cash, drinking water, medicines against flu and dysentery, etc.

An area where an earthquake may occur at a certain time. Families and schools should communicate frequently. Schools in earthquake zones that are in a position to do so should have disaster relief items, such as first aid medical supplies, cold and rain protection, tools, etc., and distribute them by class or classroom until they are in the hands of individuals. If the school classroom is a brick bungalow, students sitting closer to the door during an earthquake can quickly escape outside through the doors and windows. Students who are far away from the door can take refuge by hiding under desks and chairs or by getting down against a wall. Live in a high-rise students, do not jump during the earthquake, do not crowd the stairway, should quickly hide in the corridor and other small span of space. At the same time, most students should be close to hide under the table, even when the building collapsed will have space to survive.
