A little knowledge (知识) can make a difference at a time of life or death. Do you know what to do if you find yourself in an earthquake?
If you are inside:
●Quickly move under a strong desk, a strong table or along a wall. You can also go into a small room like the bathroom. Do not get into a lift.
●Don’t stand near windows, large mirrors, heavy furniture or fireplaces.
If you are outside:
●Move away from buildings and streetlights. These could fall on you.
●Squat (蹲下) and protect your head until the shaking stops.
After the earthquake:
●Check, take care of injuries (损伤) and help make sure people around you are all right.
●Watch out for aftershocks.
●Protect yourself by wearing long pants, a long-sleeved(长袖的) shirt and strong shoes.
●Listen to the radio for the latest information.
