PROTECTION DURING EARTHQUAKES





The following are some of the important precaution to be observed to save our life during an earthquake. Even though we do not have fool proof system to fore warn earthquakes some of the changes in nature or in the behaviors of animals and birds may help to decide the situations.





Before an earthquake.


Have a battery powered radio, flash light, and first aid kids in your house ,


Make sure every one knows where they are kept ,


Lean first aid; teach how to stop electric main and gas supply ,


Don鈥檛 keep heavy objects in high shelves ,


Fasten heavy appliances to the floor, and anchor heavy furniture to the walls ,


Plan for your family for reuniting after an earthquake if anybody separated ,


Urge your school teachers to discuss earthquake safety in the class rooms, and ask them to conduct drills ,


Find out your office has an emergency plan, know your responsibility at your works during an emergency .





During an earthquake.


Stay calm if you are indoors, stay out if you are out of buildings. Many injuries occur as people enter or leave the buildings.


If you are indoors , stand against the a wall near the center of the building, or get under a sturdy table keep some cushion on your head, Stay away from windows and outside doors, if you are in a high rise building stand against a support column.


If you are in outdoor stay in the open place , keep away from over head electric wires. and bridges,


Don鈥檛 use open flames, if you are in a moving vehicle stop away from over bridges and stay inside the vehicle still earthquake stops.





After an earthquake.


Check yourself and nearby people for injury, provide first aid,


Check electric and gas connection,


Turn on your radio or T.V for emergency instructions, reduce the use of phone lines it may be required for conveying some important messages.


Stay out of damaged buildings,


Wear chapels and gloves to protect against shattered glass and debris.





Stay away from beaches and water front areas where Tsunami could strike, even long after the shaking has stopped.Is true or false that if you are under a mark of a door in an earthquake, you can survive?
I don't know what you mean about ';under the mark of a door';, but a doorway is a stronger structure than just standing in the middle of a room. It all depends on the strength of the quake and whether the building collapses. If you were in a tall building during a high intensity earthquake, your chances of survival would be considerably less than if you were in a home. If you are worrying about the supposed earthquake prediction for LA in November, that was not a prediction. I read the entire article, and it is a simulation of what might happen if such an earthquake were to occur. The following quotes are from the article:





The scenario: The San Andreas Fault suddenly rumbles to life on Nov. 13, 2008, just after morning rush hour. The quake begins north of the U.S.-Mexican border near the Salton Sea and the fault ruptures for about 200 miles in a northwest direction ending near the high desert town of Palmdale about 40 miles north of downtown Los Angeles.





Scientists chose the scenario because it would create intense shaking in the Los Angeles Basin and neighboring counties 鈥?a region with nearly 22 million people.





The scenario will be released at a House Subcommittee on Energy and Mineral Resources meeting in Washington.Is true or false that if you are under a mark of a door in an earthquake, you can survive?
Well I am a native Californian....have been through a lot of earthquakes and they tell you to run and stand in a doorway when you feel an earthquake....Usually, that will help protect you.





A really severe earthquake where the whole building falls, that might not be enough. I usually had in mind a place to run to...under something really heavy that things could fall on, etc....but with an earthquake, you don't have much time. They just last seconds.





I did see a couple of things that made me think...one is upper floors falling on top of a lower floor and totally crushing it.





Having an earthquake kit ready, just in case with water, bandages, and shoes and a flashlight kept under the bed.





Usually earthquakes are over very fast. Often there is broken glass, so stay away from windows, and watch out where you walk afterwards. I felt the most safe in single homes...was once on the 8th floor and didn't like swaying back and forth!
I've heard this is true because it is the most structurally sound place in the house/ building, it keeps things from falling on your head, thats not to say that if you are in a high rise building on the first floor and the building collapses that you'll survive. I think it is mostly true for houses.
what mark?





if you are in the doorway of certain types of buildings there is some added strength in the structure there but there is now way to know how solidly that building was constructed or whether the direction of the earths movement will affect that spot or not.





if there is a porch or some other structure is attached to that doorway for example , you could endup being crushed by falling materials on either side of the door
You can survive anywhere in an earthquake, or you can die anywhere in an earthquake. The unfortunate thing about earthquakes, all natural disasters really, is how unpredictable they are.





But your odds are better in a doorway than in some other places.
Well depending on the size of the quake, it is the strongest part of the building, but if the quake is big... then it will still completely demolish it.
true, those door supporters are actually the strongest things inside a building... it happened to me once. lol
Doorways, pillars and external wall intersections are the strongest part of a building but still no guarantee.
