What should I do in case of an earthquake?

1. is a better method for earthquake prevention and rapid evacuation to a safe place after the earthquake. This is because the earthquake warning time is very short, people often can't act independently, and it is very difficult to run out of the room because of the deformation of doors and windows. If you are in a building, it is almost impossible to get out. However, if the early warning phenomenon is found in the bungalow and the outdoor is relatively empty, you can try to run out of the shock absorber.

2. Hiding under or next to a solid, hard-to-fall, body-covering object indoors, with a small and supportive room; Outdoor away from buildings, empty and safe place.

3, should get down, so that the body center of gravity to a minimum, face down, do not press the nose and mouth, to facilitate breathing; Try to curl up when squatting or sitting down; Grasp the solid objects around you to prevent falling or injury due to body displacement and contact with solid objects.

4, bow your head, protect your head and neck with your hands, and if possible, protect your head and neck with things around you, such as pillows and bedding; Bow your head and close your eyes to prevent foreign bodies from hurting your eyes; If possible, cover your nose and mouth with a wet towel to prevent dust and toxic gases.

5. Don't light an open flame casually, because there may be flammable and explosive gases in the air; Avoid crowds and don't crowd around. No matter what occasion, street, apartment, school, shop, entertainment place, etc. Because, not only can you not walk out of danger in the crowd, but you may also be injured by falling, trampling and colliding.

Damage characteristics of earthquakes

1, the earthquake disaster is instantaneous. The earthquake happened in an instant, and the time of earthquake action was very short, the shortest was ten seconds, and the longest was two or three minutes, causing landslides and collapses, which made people unprepared and unprepared. The civilization established by human beings was destroyed in an instant, and people could not organize effective resistance in a short time when the earthquake broke out.

2. The earthquake caused heavy casualties. The earthquake caused a large number of houses to collapse, which was the chief culprit of casualties, especially when some earthquakes occurred at night and people were sleeping. According to the incomplete statistics of 1988 "International Decade for Disaster Reduction" expert group, the total number of earthquake deaths in the world in the 20th century exceeded120,000, among which the largest number of casualties was the Tangshan earthquake of magnitude 7.8 in China on July 28th, 1976, with more than 242,000 deaths and serious injuries164,000.

During the period from1900 to1986, the number of earthquake deaths accounted for 58% of all natural disaster deaths, among which China had the largest number of earthquake deaths, accounting for 42%, which was mainly due to the poor seismic capacity of houses and dense population in China. Statistics show that about 60% of the deaths are caused by the collapse of masonry houses with poor seismic capacity.

Earthquakes are also prone to secondary disasters such as fires and the spread of toxic and harmful gases. The San Francisco earthquake of 1906, the Kanto earthquake of 1923 and the Hanshin earthquake of 1995 all caused fires. Of the140,000 people who died in the Great Kanto Earthquake, about10,000 people died in the fire.
