H. Think and answer.When an earthquake strikes, what are the thingsthat you should do first? Which are the safeplaces that you should go to and which are theplaces that you should avoid?1.

Answer»

1]Stay there.2]Move away from buildings, streetlights, and utility wires.3]Once in the open, stay there until the shaking stops. The greatest danger exists directly outside buildings, at exits and alongside exterior walls.IF you’re in a building… there’s a couple of options…1.) Drop to the deck and get under something VERY sturdy!2.) Bathtub with something covering you.3.) Inside a doorway.4.) SMALL Closet

In a building, your primary threats are building collapse, and fire secondary to structural damage. The options I just presented, are designed to give you the best chance to survive total building failure, and be caught in a ‘void space’ where debris doesn’t smash you, but falls all around and over top of you. (We can dig you out of that!)

IF you’re OUTSIDE?1.) Get away from power lines and gas mains if possible.2.) You might NOT want to be under any trees.3.) Don’t be around buildings, or overpasses that could fall on you.
