This was our presentation for one of our requirements in high school. This was one of my favorites in all our many graded presentations because we had fun doing this and we became instant actresses. Hihihi. Nevertheless, the message is still there. Let's be prepared for emergency situations, especially earthquakes. :)
Before an earthquake:
 |
| Fasten shelves securely to walls. |
 |
| Place large or heavy objects on lower shelves. |
 |
| Repair defective electrical wiring and leaky gas connections. These are potential fire risks. |
 |
| Teach children how and when to call 9-1-1, police, or fire department and which radio station to tune to for emergency information. |
 |
| Work together in your community to apply your knowledge to building codes, retrofitting programs, hazard hands and neighborhood and family emergency plans. |
 |
| Have disasters supplies on hand. |
During an earthquake:
If indoors:
 |
| Drop to the ground; duck, cover and hold. |
 |
| Take cover by getting a sturdy table or other piece of furniture. |
If in a moving vehicle: |
| Stop as quickly as safety permits and stay in the vehicle. Avoid stopping near or under buildings, trees, overpasses, and utility wires. |
If trapped under debris:
 |
| Cover your mouth with a handkerchief or clothing. Use a whistle if one is available. Shout only as a last resort. Shouting can cause you to inhale dangerous amounts of dust. |
After an earthquake:
 |
| Listen to a battery-operated radio or television. Listen to latest emergency information. |
 |
| Help injured or trapped persons. Give first aid where appropriate. Call for help. |
 |
| Check for gas leaks. Look for electrical system damage. Check for sewage and water lines damage. |
