  1. PROTECTION DURING EARTHQUAKES

    The following are some of the important precaution to be observed to save our life during an earthquake. Even though we do not have fool proof system to fore warn earthquakes some of the changes in nature or in the behaviors of animals and birds may help to decide the situations.

    Before an earthquake.

    Have a battery powered radio, flash light, and first aid kids in your house ,

    Make sure every one knows where they are kept ,

    Lean first aid; teach how to stop electric main and gas supply ,

    Don’t keep heavy objects in high shelves ,

    Fasten heavy appliances to the floor, and anchor heavy furniture to the walls ,

    Plan for your family for reuniting after an earthquake if anybody separated ,

    Urge your school teachers to discuss earthquake safety in the class rooms, and ask them to conduct drills ,

    Find out your office has an emergency plan, know your responsibility at your works during an emergency ,

    During an earthquake.

    Stay calm if you are indoors, stay indoor if out doors, stay outdoors. Many injuries occur as people enter or leave the buildings.

    If you are indoors , stand against the a wall near the center of the building, or get under a sturdy table  keep some cushion on your head, Stay away from windows and outside doors, if you are in a high rise building stand against a support column.

    If you are in outdoor  stay in the open , keep away from over head electric wires. and bridges,

    Don’t use open flames, if you are in a moving vehicle stop away from over bridges and stay inside the vehicle still earthquake stops.

    After an earthquake.

    Check yourself and nearby people for injury, provide first aid,

    Check electric and gas connection,

    Turn on your radio for emergency instructions, reduce the use of phone lines it may be required for conveying some important messages.

    Stay out of damaged buildings,

    Wear chapels and gloves to protect against shattered glass and debris,

    Stay away from beaches and water front areas where Tsunami could strike, even long after the shaking has stopped.

    Have one earthquake alarm installed in your house.


  2. if an earth quake occurs...jus go out of ur house and stand in open air...dont stand under a tree or sumthin....it is dangerous coz it may fall anytime...jus dont stay inside ur house or office...it may fall on ur head..........hope an earthquake neva comes 2 ur place...good luck...!!!

  3. I read that you hide under something stable, like a table. Don't go out of the house as there may be falling objects.

  4. First of all...u should not panic.U should run to an open ground or a place where there are less trees or buildings.People should not rush through the stairs.If that's not possible.,hide under a table or bed.If you are living in an earthquake prone area,you should keep the first aid and emergency food ready.

  5. Open space gives you best protection, away from falling trees, debris of buildings or other heavy objects! Inside the house, go, sit  under a table in a corner, or under the bed, where you have protection from falling roof and other debris!

  6. earch QUACK?

  7. If an earthquake is in progress, one thing is to get under a door! It will protect from falling items!

  8. call all ducks on earth, they will counter-quack the attack. Also you can scream and run in circles as the quack is occuring. maybe it will chase away the quack as it is coming if you scream and the ducks quack loud enough. as for the 2 douches who thumbs me down, they can be shipped to pluto, the aliens are willing to buy.

  9. This is a nice Question...... In time of Earthquake..... just got and protect yourself under your Table or Bed cot.... Preferable any Heavy metal furniture.......

  10. Simply stated, when buildings collapse, the weight of the ceilings falling upon the objects or furniture inside crushes these objects, leaving a space or void next to them. The larger the object, the stronger, the less it will compact. The less the object compacts, the larger the void, the greater the probability that the person who is using this void for safety will not be injured. The next time you watch collapsed buildings, on television, count the "triangles" you see formed. They are everywhere. It is the most common shape, you will see, in a collapsed building.

    TIPS FOR EARTHQUAKE SAFETY

    1) Most everyone who simply "ducks and covers" WHEN BUILDINGS COLLAPSE are crushed to death. People who get under objects, like desks or cars, are crushed.

    2) Cats, dogs and babies often naturally curl up in the fetal position. You should too in an earthquake. It is a natural safety/survival instinct. You can survive in a smaller void. Get next to an object, next to a sofa, next to a large bulky object that will compress slightly but leave a void next to it.

    3) Wooden buildings are the safest type of construction to be in during an earthquake. Wood is flexible and moves with the force of the earthquake. If the wooden building does collapse, large survival voids are created. Also, the wooden building has less concentrated, crushing weight. Brick buildings will break into individual bricks. Bricks will cause many injuries but less squashed bodies than concrete slabs.

    4) If you are in bed during the night and an earthquake occurs, simply roll off the bed. A safe void will exist around the bed. Hotels can achieve a much greater survival rate in earthquakes, simply by posting a sign on The back of the door of every room telling occupants to lie down on the floor, next to the bottom of the bed during an earthquake.

    5) If an earthquake happens and you cannot easily escape by getting out the door or window, then lie down and curl up in the fetal position next to a sofa, or large chair.

    6) Most everyone who gets under a doorway when buildings collapse is seriously Injured. If you stand under a doorway and the doorjamb falls forward or backward you will be crushed by the ceiling above.

    7) Never go to the stairs. The stairs have a different "moment of frequency" (they swing separately from the main part of the building). The stairs and remainder of the building continuously bump into each other until structural failure of the stairs takes place.  Even if the building doesn't collapse, stay away from the stairs. The stairs are a likely part of the building to be Damaged. Even if the stairs are not collapsed by the earthquake, they may collapse later when overloaded by fleeing people. They should always be checked for safety, even when the rest of the building is not damaged.

    8) Get Near the Outer Walls Of Buildings Or Outside Of Them If Possible - It is much better to be near the outside of the building rather than the interior. The farther inside you are from the outside perimeter of the building the greater the probability that your escape route will be blocked.

    9) People inside of their vehicles are crushed when the road above falls in an earthquake and crushes their vehicles; which is exactly what happened with the slabs between the decks of the Nimitz Freeway. The victims of the San Francisco earthquake all stayed inside of their vehicles. They were all killed. They could have easily survived by getting out and sitting or lying next to their vehicles. All the crushed cars had voids 3 feet high next to them.

    Spread the word and save someone's life... The Entire world is experiencing natural calamities so be prepared!

  11. If it is an earth quack,  then you had better duck.

    In the event of a quake...nothing.  Unlike television, when the ground moves, you can't get anywhere.  No footing...believe me.  Mine is the voice of experience.
