Earthquakes happen all the time. They are common in nature, making sounds below Earth’s surface thousands of times every day. But major earthquakes are less common. Here are some things to do to prepare for an earthquake and what to do once the ground starts shaking.
Safety Tips
l Have an earthquake readiness plan.
l Consult(諮詢) a professional to learn how to make your home sturdier, such as fixing bookcases to the wall, using strong locks on cupboards, and fixing the water heater to the wall firmly.
l Locate a place in each room of the house that you can go to in case of an earthquake. It should be a spot where nothing is likely to fall on you.
l Keep a supply of canned food, an up-to-date first aid box, 3 gallons(11.4 liters) of water per person, dust masks and goggles(護目鏡), and a working battery-operated radio and flashlights.
l Know how to turn off your gas and water mains.
If Shaking Begins
l Drop down; take cover under a desk or table and hold on.
l Stay indoors until the shaking stops and you’re sure it’s safe to exit.

l If you are in bed, hold on and stay there, protecting your head with a pillow.
l If you are outdoors, find a clear spot away from buildings, trees, and power lines. Drop to the ground.
