Recommendations for Earthquake Preparedness

Importance of Staying Calm

• The first recommendation during an earthquake is to maintain and spread calm among those around you, as this is crucial for effective response.

Actions in Enclosed Spaces

• If indoors, move away from lamps, windows, machinery, or any objects that could fall and cause injury; seek shelter next to sturdy furniture or safe areas.

• Follow evacuation routes towards the nearest exit if instructed by designated leaders; proceed to a predetermined meeting point.

Safety in Outdoor Areas

• When outside, keep a safe distance from power lines, poles, or trees; if inside a vehicle during the quake, stay inside but move away from potential hazards.

Crowded Locations Protocol

• In crowded places like stadiums or malls, find shelter and wait for evacuation orders rather than trying to exit immediately.

Flood Risks Post-Earthquake

• Aftershocks may lead to increased water levels near rivers or streams due to debris blockage; it’s essential to stay clear of these areas for safety.
