Building earthquake survival method

The safest and most effective way is to hide in the smallest room between the two load-bearing walls in time, such as toilet, kitchen, etc. You can also hide under tables, cabinets and other furniture and the corner inside the room, and pay attention to protect your head. Never take shelter under the balcony and window.
Earthquake survival methods in class

Students in the middle and back can hide under the desk as soon as possible and cover their heads with book bags; Students against the wall should be close to the root of the wall and protect their heads with both hands.
Outdoor earthquake survival method
4. If you have left the room, don't go back to the house to get things as soon as the earthquake stops. Because after the first earthquake, there will be aftershocks, which will pose a greater threat to people.
Street earthquake survival method
5. If there is an earthquake in public places, don't panic and run around. You can hide in a safe place nearby, such as under the table, under the stage and in the music pool. 6.

If they are buried in buildings after the earthquake, try to remove the objects pressed above the abdomen first; Cover your mouth and nose with towels and clothes to prevent smoke suffocation; We should pay attention to the preservation of physical strength, try to find food and water, create living conditions and wait for rescue.
Protect your head in outdoor situations
8. For the personal safety of yourself and your family, please hide under the table and other solid furniture. The large shaking time is about 1 minute. The first thing to consider is the personal safety of yourself and your family. First, avoid under a strong table with a low center of gravity, and firmly grasp the table legs. When there is no table for hiding, protect your head with cushions and other things anyway.
Turn off the fire immediately in case of shaking and put out the fire immediately in case of fire
9. Turn off the fire immediately in case of shaking, put out the fire immediately in case of fire, and you can't rely on the fire truck to put out the fire in case of large earthquake. Therefore, the effort of each of us to turn off the fire and put out the fire is an important factor to minimize the earthquake disaster. Form the habit of turning off the fire even in small earthquakes. In order to prevent the fire from causing great disaster, it goes without saying that it is extremely important for the family to help each other and put out the fire at an early stage. There are three times to turn off the fire in case of an earthquake ◆ the first opportunity is to immediately greet each other at the moment of sensing the small shaking before the big shaking comes: "earthquake! Turn off the fire quickly!", Turn off the heating stove and gas stove in use. ◆ the second chance is to turn off the fire when the big shaking stops, and the kettle on the gas stove and heating stove slides down. It's very dangerous. After the big shaking stopped, he shouted again, "turn off the fire! Turn off the fire!", And turn off the fire. ◆ the third chance can be put out within 1-2 minutes even if there is a fire after the fire. In order to put out the fire quickly, please always place the fire extinguisher and fire bucket close to the fire site. 10. Don't run out in a panic. After the earthquake, it's very dangerous to run out in a panic. Broken glass, bricks and tiles on the roof, billboards, etc. fall and hit you. In addition, cement prefabricated slab walls and vending machines are also in danger of collapse. Don't get close to these objects. 11. Open the door to ensure the exit of houses with reinforced concrete structure. Due to the shaking of the earthquake, the doors and windows will be misaligned and the door cannot be opened. There have been cases of people being closed in the house. Please open the door to ensure the exit. At ordinary times, you should think about how to escape in case you are locked in the house, and prepare ladders, ropes, etc. 12. In outdoor occasions, protect your head and avoid dangerous places. When the earth shakes violently and stands unsteadily, people will have the psychology of leaning and grasping. Most of the door posts and walls around them will become the object of support. However, these things that look strong and solid are actually dangerous. During the undersea earthquake in Miyagi Prefecture, Japan in 1987, many people were killed and injured due to the collapse of cement precast slab walls and gate posts. Be sure not to get close to the cement precast slab wall, gate post, etc. In busy streets and buildings, the most dangerous thing is that glass windows, billboards and other objects fall down and hurt people. Pay attention to protect your head with your hands or handbags. In addition, you should also pay attention to the injury caused by the overturning of the vending machine. When in the building area, it is safer to enter the building to avoid according to the situation. 13. Act according to the instructions of the staff in department stores and theatres. The most terrible thing is chaos in department stores, underground streets and other places with a large number of people. Please follow the instructions of the store staff and security personnel. As far as earthquakes are concerned, it is said that underground streets are relatively safe. Even in case of power failure, the emergency lighting will light up immediately. Please take action calmly. In case of fire, it will be filled with smoke immediately. Take refuge in a low posture and never smoke. If you take the elevator, you can't use the elevator in case of earthquake and fire. In case of an earthquake when taking the elevator, press all the buttons on each floor on the operation panel. Once it stops, leave the elevator quickly and take refuge after confirming safety. Elevators in high-rise buildings and recent buildings are equipped with devices to control operation. When an earthquake occurs, it will automatically act and stop on the nearest floor. In case of being locked in the elevator, please contact the management room through the special telephone in the elevator for help.
The car stopped by the side of the road
14. The car stops by the roadside and is prohibited from driving in the controlled area. In case of a major earthquake, the car will be like a flat tire, unable to grasp the steering wheel and difficult to drive. Full attention must be paid to avoiding the intersection and stopping the car by the side of the road. In order not to obstruct the passage of evacuees and emergency vehicles, give way to the middle part of the road. Most roads in the urban center will be completely closed. Pay full attention to the car radio. If there is a policeman nearby, follow his instructions. When it is necessary to take refuge, in order not to get involved in the fire, please close the window, insert the car key in the car, do not lock the door, and act together with the local people. 15. Be sure to pay attention to landslides, cliff falls or tsunamis. There is a risk of landslides, cliff falls or tsunamis at the edge of the mountain and steep inclined sections. You should quickly take refuge in a safe place. On the coast, there is a risk of tsunami. If you sense an earthquake or send out a tsunami alarm, please pay attention to the information of radio and television, and quickly take refuge in a safe place. 16. Take refuge on foot when taking refuge. Take refuge measures when the fire caused by the earthquake, spreading and burning, endangering life and personal safety, etc. In principle, people's disaster prevention organizations and streets shall be taken as the unit of refuge, and the way of refuge on foot shall be taken under the leadership of the person in charge and the police, and the articles carried shall be at least. Never take refuge by car or bicycle. For the asylum of patients, the cooperation and mutual assistance of local residents is indispensable. From peacetime on, it is necessary for neighbors to agree on the way of asylum in advance. 17. Don't listen to rumors and act rashly. When a big earthquake occurs, people are easy to shake psychologically. In order to prevent confusion, it is extremely important for everyone to act calmly based on the correct information. Grasp the correct information from the radio, etc. Believe in the information directly obtained from the government, police, fire prevention and other disaster prevention institutions, and never believe irresponsible gossip and act rashly.
Finally, the most important thing is to plan ahead. No matter whether an earthquake occurs or not, we should master the necessary common sense of earthquake survival.
