It is better to know what to do when an earthquake strikes. Earthquakes are natural disasters which often happen in foreign countries and humans cannot control them. Therefore, we should know how to survive the earthquake and today ACU PAY has collected information about what to do when an earthquake occurs for you guys. Let’s take a look at them together!
It is a tremor that is not commonly found, but it has caused a lot of damage to the scene because earthquakes are natural phenomena caused by changes in the earth, especially during the fault line of plates. However, this can happen all over the world in all areas as well. The most mobile area is the 40,000-kilometer “Ring of Fire” that drags through the Indian Ocean coast to the Pacific Ocean.
In case you are near the exit the most, run as fast as you can to get out of the building. You must not get back in the building again once you can get out of it because people who run back in the building are likely to get injured more. You can be in danger again. It is recommended to go to and open space after you can exit the building.
If an earthquake strikes, stay calm and find something strong to be used as a shelter for yourself such as a strong table. This is suitable for a situation where an earthquake is not that severe. It will prevent you from getting injured from falling lamps or vases.
If you are driving while the earthquake occurs, stop driving and get out of the car until the earthquake stops. You have to be more careful if you are in an area that has traffic lights, bridges or other hanging things.
Because it can cause sparks at any time, if there’s a gas leak in that area unknowingly, it’s better to protect yourself.
While asleep and when the earthquake strikes, grab a pillow close to your body to protect your head. It is recommended that you should cover your head with one or two pillows in case something falls off.
Even if the earthquake has stopped, there may be aftershocks following it all the time. You must be extra conscious and careful.
