What should you do if there’s an earthquake (地震) at school? How can you save yourself when you are caught in a stampede (踩踏)? March 25 this year provides you with something about safety.

This day is called the National Day of Education on the Safety of Elementary and Middle School Students (NDESEMSS) (全国中小学生安全教育日). The topic of the day this year is to help students learn more about safety and make sure their lives safe. A survey showed that school accidents kill more students than anything else. The main accidents come from stampedes, earthquakes, fires and sports injuries (伤害). What can we do to keep ourselves safe? Staying calm is the first and most important rule when facing accidents. But we have different advice on different accidents.

A stampede is possible anywhere. The more people get together, the more likely stampedes are to come. When students around you begin to push, you should stand still and try to hold onto something, or stay in a corner until the crowd leaves. If you fall down in a moving crowd, cover your head with both hands.

Earthquakes are common. When you feel the ground shake, drop down, take cover under a desk and hold on. You should stay indoors until the shaking stops. If you are outdoor, don’t stay near buildings, trees or power lines.

When there’s a fire, follow the teachers’ words, leave the classroom quickly and use a piece of cloth to cover your mouth and nose so that you don’t breathe in smoke.
