章節 296: Earthquakes
Certain parts of the world just aren't really affected by earthquakes at all. Thus children in those parts of the world never learn how to react during an earthquake.
But regardless of that, it is still important to know how to respond during an earthquake. It doesn't matter who you are, you can't guarantee that you'll never be affected by an earthquake. It could be during a business trip or even just a vacation.
Whatever the case, if an earthquake hits and you're indoors, try to find cover under a desk or a table. Otherwise move away from any ceiling lights and windows. Also stay away from tall furniture if it hasn't been secured in place. DO NOT USE ELEVATORS.
Stay in place until you are absolutely certain that the earthquake is over. Just because the earthquake is over, doesn't mean that you're safe. If your building suffered structural damage, some parts of it might just randomly collapse. Earthquakes also tend to cause tsunamis which is just an added bonus. So just stay away from beaches even if they seem safe. On top of that, another very possible aftermath of an earthquake would be fires.
Depending on where you are, you'll need to decide if you need to call for help or if you should try to evacuate outdoors.
If you are already outside, just try to get to a place where nothing can fall on you (i. e. bridges, trees, powerlines).
Of course not every earthquake is necessarily a reason to panic, most of them are almost unnoticeable and harmless.
If this all sounds self explanatory, then I'm glad that you're well informed.
