Question

What are the steps we should take to keep us safe during earthquakes?

Answer 1

The steps we should take to keep us safe during earthquakes are as follows:

a) If you are at home:

• Take shelter under a table and stay there till the shaking stops.
• Stay away from tall and heavy objects that may fall on you.
• If you are in bed, do not get up. Protect your head with a pillow.
• Do not use the elevator

b). If you are outdoors:

• Find a clear spot away from buildings, trees and overhead power lines, and drop to the ground.
• If you are in a car or a bus, do not come out. Ask the driver to drive slowly to a clear spot. Do not come out till the tremors stop.
