Safety Tips #1 – Be prepared and do not panic during an earthquake!

Well, if an earthquake is really happening, then what should we do? First of all, don’t be panic!

You should escape from the building or stay away from big trees and powerlines once the earthquake struck. Move to open spaces like an empty field! This can prevent you from getting hit by heavy and massive objects.

And remember! Grab your emergency kit with you when you leave your house! Pack some food, water, first aid kit, a fully charged power bank, mobile phone, important documents like identity and medical card before an earthquake could possibly happen.

But if the shaking is getting gradually worse, then you should stay indoors as rushing outside will be a bad idea in that situation as you might get hurt while you are trying to escape from one danger to another. You should mark for some safety spots in your house before an earthquake hits in case you do not have enough time to escape from the building.

You can choose the spots according to the “Triangle of Life” or “Duck, Cover, and Hold” method. So that while an earthquake strikes, you can run to the safety spots you marked beforehand and wait until the shaking reduce. Make sure you cover your head, that way you can protect yourself from the falling objects.

Safety Tips #2 – seek help after the earthquake has stopped!

After the earthquake stops, you should calm yourself down first! Because things always go wrong when you are nervous and flustered. You should go to an emergency evacuation point near to your location with your emergency kit! Try to get in touch with your family (if they are not with you) after you save yourself from the earthquake. We are sure that they are worried about you.

But if you are injured or trapped under massive objects, the safety tips is that you should stay still in order to save your energy and keep yourself away from any unwanted danger. Use your mobile phone to call for help if the signal is good or shout for help.
