Suggestions on further strengthening disaster prevention and mitigation and improving the comprehensive defense ability of natural disasters

Suggestions on earthquake prevention and disaster reduction

Earthquake disaster is one of the natural disasters that cause the most serious economic losses and casualties in the world. At present, earthquake prediction is still a worldwide problem. We should strengthen the study of earthquake science knowledge and help us master the correct methods of shock absorption and self-help and mutual rescue.

When an earthquake occurs, the indoor triangular space formed by the collapse of houses is often a relatively safe place for people to live. Especially in architecture, people choose kitchen, bathroom and other places where rooms are not big and easy to collapse, and corners or tables and other places where solid furniture is easy to form a triangular space for shock absorption. In places where there is no table to hide, protect your head with cushions and other things anyway. Never jump off a building and use the elevator blindly.

An old man who personally experienced the 1920 Haiyuan M8.5 earthquake once introduced in detail the specific method of "lying down to be determined": "When you feel an earthquake indoors, you should quickly lie down on the edge of the kang, face down, head against the wall, arms crossed on your chest, right hand holding your left arm, right hand holding your right arm backwards, the concave part above your nose resting on your arm, and close your eyes and mouth.

In outdoor situations, you should avoid dangerous places such as tall buildings, protect your head, and quickly run to the open space to squat down. When the earth shakes violently and stands unsteadily, people will have the psychology of leaning over and grasping something. Most of the doorposts and walls around you will be supported. However, these seemingly solid things are actually dangerous. Be sure not to get close to cement precast slab walls, doorposts, etc. In busy streets and buildings, the most dangerous thing is that things like glass windows and billboards fall and hurt people. Therefore, pay attention to protect your head with your hands or handbags.

In addition, outdoor people should try to stay away from high-voltage lines and toxic factories or facilities such as petrochemical, chemical and gas. In case of gas, toxic gas leakage and fire, cover your nose and mouth with a wet towel and crawl against the wind.

In places where there are many people in department stores and underground passages, the most terrible thing is chaos. Please follow the instructions of the store staff and security guards. As far as earthquakes are concerned, underground passages are relatively safe. Even if there is a power failure, the emergency light will light up immediately, so take action calmly.

In case of an earthquake or fire, you can't use the elevator. In case there is an earthquake when you take the elevator, please press all the buttons on each floor on the operation panel. Once stopped, leave the elevator quickly and take refuge after confirming safety. Elevators in high-rise buildings and nearby buildings are equipped with control devices. When an earthquake happens, they will automatically stop and stop at the nearest floor. If you are locked in the elevator, you should contact the management room for help through the dedicated telephone in the elevator.

Be sure to pay attention to landslides, falling rocks or tsunamis. On hillsides and steep slopes, there is danger of landslides and falling rocks, so you should take refuge in a safe place quickly. On the coast, there is a danger of encountering a tsunami. If you are aware of an earthquake or issue a tsunami warning, please pay attention to the information broadcast on radio and television and take refuge in a safe place quickly.

When taking refuge, you should walk and take as few belongings as possible. When the fire caused by the earthquake spreads and burns, endangering life and personal safety, take refuge measures. In principle, people's disaster prevention organizations, streets, etc. You should take refuge on foot under the leadership of the person in charge and the police, and carry as few items as possible. Never take refuge by car or bike. The cooperation and mutual assistance of local residents is indispensable for patients to take refuge. Usually, neighbors need to agree on the way to take refuge in advance.

After the earthquake, people may face all kinds of difficulties, so they must overcome their fears and save themselves in the right way, which is very necessary to alleviate the earthquake disaster and avoid new losses. If you can't get out of danger, you must hold your horses and protect yourself from new harm. If you can't get out of danger for the time being, you must find ways to maintain your life, find food and water, conserve your strength, wait patiently and try to contact the outside world. Don't cry loudly, act reluctantly, and try to close your eyes and rest. Time is life. After being rescued, we should actively participate in the post-earthquake rescue work, rapidly expand the rescue team, and let more people be rescued. First save people nearby, young adults, people who are easy to save, "life" and "people"; We should actively participate in maintaining social order and social stability.

In the event of a major earthquake, people are easily shaken psychologically. In order to prevent confusion, it is extremely important for everyone to act calmly based on correct information. Grasp the correct information from the portable radio, trust the information obtained directly from the government, police and fire prevention institutions, never believe irresponsible rumors, and don't act rashly.

Students, when an earthquake happens, as long as we can use the right methods, there will be no danger. Sometimes, earthquakes are not as terrible as you think, and there are still a few catastrophic earthquakes that really collapse houses. As long as you calmly deal with disasters, it is possible to successfully prevent earthquakes.

Protect your life and create a better future.
