An earthquake can often cause damage. And although not all earthquakes are severe(严重), they
help people to be aware of the proper way to prepare for such an event. Your level of preparation can
directly affect your chance of survival.
If you are outdoors, find an open area free of trees and tall buildings. If you are driving when an
earthquake hits, slow down and stop in a clear place and stay in your car. Do not park near buildings
or under bridges.
If you are indoors, you must protect yourself from falling objects by finding a safe place in your
home and protecting your body as much as possible. If you are in bed when the shaking starts, cover
your head with a pillow. Also, you should fasten all possible objects to a wall, paying special attention
to tall furniture. This will reduce the chance of the objects falling on top of someone and causing injury.
A good way to protect yourself from possible falling debris(碎片)during an earthquake is to hide under
something. This most often means a heavy table or desk which is large enough. It is important for you
to know these areas before an earthquake. Make sure that all the family members know the best place
to hide themselves in each area of the house.
If you live in the place where earthquakes are possible, make sure you have ways to tell your family
members your condition. All family members and friends should know how to get in touch with you after
an earthquake. This will stop many people worrying about you and trying to get through to you after such
a disaster. It is especially important for families with young children to practice what to do in an earthquake. Make sure your family has a plan of action, and decide a meeting place to go to after the earthquake.
In an earthquake which causes great damage, it is important to have items on hand, water, food, medicine, a flashlight and so on. It is also wise to be prepared by taking a first-aid class to learn something useful
for a possible disaster.
