Question

What are precautions that should be taken during the earthquake?

Answer 1

Precautions that should be taken during the earthquake are -

1. Stay calm! If you're indoors, stay inside. If you're outside, stay outside.
2. If you're indoors, stand against a wall near the center of the building, stand in a doorway, or crawl under heavy furniture (a desk or table). Stay away from windows and outside doors.
3. Stay away from tall and heavy objects that may fall on you.
4. If you are in bed, do not get up. Protect your head with a pillow.
5. If you're outdoors, stay in the open away from power lines or anything that might fall. Stay away from buildings (stuff might fall off the building or the building could fall on you).
6. Don't use matches, candles, or any flame. Broken gas lines and fire don't mix.
7. If you're in a car, stop the car and stay inside the car until the earthquake stops.
8. Don't use elevators (they'll probably get stuck anyway).
