What to Do During an Earthquake and Earthquake Bag
For example, most people think it is correct to get under a table during an earthquake or wait under a door, but this is completely wrong. First, you should prepare an earthquake bag in a place or places that you can easily reach during an earthquake. For information on this subject and to ask questions you are curious about, you can look at the relevant online companies on web pages and examine them in detail from here.
What Should Be in an Earthquake Bag?
This bag should contain dry food (long-lasting), water, first aid equipment, a WHISTLE, a flashlight, a thin blanket that can keep you warm and does not take up space, copies of your valuable documents (deed, insurance policy, etc.), a radio, and batteries. In addition, your family must have an earthquake plan. During an earthquake, all family members may not be in the same place. Communicating by phone can be very difficult (God forbid, trapped under rubble). Therefore, you should determine a meeting point. This meeting point should be an open area, perhaps a nearby park. You must also practice your exit plan from the house with drills. For many of you, this may seem troublesome, ridiculous, funny, amusing, unnecessary. In fact, many people approach these drills with a ridiculous attitude like "God willing, we'll get out somehow, brother, we'll jump out the window at worst." However, it is funny that many people commit suicide by jumping out of windows during an earthquake. Therefore, do not be lazy, be sure to do these drills. Do not neglect to secure items so they do not fall on you during an earthquake. Now, the most well-known building material stores have sections just for these purposes. Get the appropriate fixing apparatus for cabinets, doors, and drawers at your home and secure your belongings with them.
What to Do During an Earthquake?
Crouch next to sturdy, durable objects like a table, washing machine, or bed that will slow down the falling speed of the ceiling, with your knees on the ground, tucking your head to your knees, protecting your head with one arm, and holding onto the object you are next to with your other hand. This action will create a "triangle of life" between the ceiling, the floor, and you, where you can move and breathe. Apart from this, you can get injured by swaying left and right; try to move sideways by leaning your back against a wall while walking. Never use the stairs; unfortunately, the first part of a building to collapse is always the stairs.
