When there's an earthquake, is it safe to go to the kitchen?
Lara what are the things you should do during an earthquake if you are indoors?
Get out of the kitchen which is a dangerous place (things can fall on you.) Don't run down stairs or rush outside while the building is shaking.
If you are indoors, stay there. Get under a desk or table and hang on to it (drop, cover, hold on!) or move into a hallway or against an inside wall. Stay clear of windows, fireplaces, and heavy furniture or appliances
Remember anything can move, fall,or break during an earthquake or its aftershocks.Remember anything can move, fall,or break during an earthquake or its aftershocks.
Identify potential hazards in each room, including windows and other glass items and areas that could be blocked by falling debris.
Having an emergency plan and a disaster survival supply kit will help you through almost every kind of crisis, wether natural or caused by humans.
Yes you're right, and we must be well-prepared. Being prepared for any crisis is critical for surviving and recovering from one.
