What are some brief safety knowledge for earthquake prevention?

A brief summary of earthquake safety knowledge:

1. Earthquakes are sudden and can catch people by surprise. When the earthquake starts, if you are inside the house, do not try to rush out of the house. The possibility of death is extremely high. The expedient is to hide under a sturdy bed or table. If there is no solid furniture, stand in the doorway, the doorframe providing some protection.

2. If you are outdoors, do not get close to buildings, trees, telephone poles or any other tall buildings that may collapse. Get as far away from tall buildings as possible and into open space. To avoid losing your balance during an earthquake, lie down on the ground. If there is no open space nearby, you should temporarily take shelter at the door.

3. Do not hide in underground caves, tunnels or underground passages, because the rubble generated by the earthquake will fill or block the exit. Unless they are very strong, the tunnels themselves can collapse.

4. During an earthquake, wooden houses tend to tilt and the doors cannot be opened. In this case, lives will be lost. Therefore, whether you go out or not, it is wise to open the door first.

5. When a major earthquake occurs, things on shelves and books on bookshelves may fall down. At this time, protecting the head is extremely important. In an emergency, you can use the cotton cushions, blankets, pillows, etc. around you to cover your head to avoid being injured.
