How you can keep your Family, House and community Safe During Earthquake
Hi guys, I am here with a new article about safety during Earthquake. Earthquake is a more dangerous Natural disaster from other ones. Because this will happen suddenly with out any indication. So, this is very important to prepare our family and other peoples for the earthquake.
It is advised that you prepare three things: your home, your family, and your community. Be sure that each member of your family knows what to do during an earthquake. Schedule drills with your family to practice what your earthquake safety plan. These drills should include the specific steps for Drop, Cover, and Hold On.
Earthquakes may strike at anytime, anywhere. Protect yourself and your family by having an earthquake readiness plan.
Keep a current emergency supply kit in your home and make sure all family members know its location. Your disaster kit should include one or two portable containers, such as plastic tubs or book bags, holding the supplies your family would need to survive without outside aid for at least three days following the earthquake.
Your emergency supply kit should also contain the addresses, phone numbers and evacuation sites for each place where family members spend time, including schools, workplaces, etc. Have your family members carry a copy of this list, or contact card, in their wallets, purses or backpacks.
If you work, live or go to school near a dam – know the flood-zone information and have a prepared evacuation plan. Dams can fail during major earthquakes, so be prepared for potential flooding.
Prepare your home by planning to resist earthquake.
