Every 30 seconds there is an earthquake. But don’t worry because only a few big ones hurt people. Here are some tips on how to stay safely in an earthquake.
If you are indoors during an earthquake, hide under a desk. Stay away from windows and anything that could fall on you.
If you are outdoors, move to a clear place. Try to be away from trees, signs, buildings and streetlights. These could fall on you.
If you are in a shop and far from the door, don’t try to run to outside and rush for exits(出口). Everyone will be doing that and you’ll find it hard getting out. Don’t get into a lift during an earthquake. Just hide under some strong covers near you.
When an earthquake has ended, be careful because after-shocks may still happen. These are just as dangerous as the earthquake itself. So stay under the desk until you make sure it’s safe to get up.
