Every 30 seconds there is an earthquake. But don't worry because most are so weak that they cannot be
felt. 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. If you are
at home and you smell gas, open the windows and get out of the building as quickly as you can. A gas line
in your house may be broken. This could be very dangerous.
