Question

disaster management 1) earthquake​

Answer 1

Answer:

An earthquake is a sudden shaking of the ground caused by two chunks of earth’s crust sliding past one another.

Disaster Management (or Emergency Management):

is the discipline of dealing with and

avoiding risks. It is a discipline that involves preparing, supporting and rebuilding when natural

or human made disasters occur. The actions (efforts to avoid or ameliorate the impact) taken

depends in part on the perceptions of the risk. In any event, an effective emergency management

system will rely on the emergency plans available.

Considering the possibilities of such an occurrence, the project proponent plans to develop and

implement a Disaster Management Plan aimed at identifying the different potential disasters that

could impact the development. This plan will focus on five potential types of disasters that can

arise from various sources and affect the operation and livelihood of the project in some form or

fashion.

Drop, Cover , hold on !

DROP down onto your hands and knees before the earthquake knocks you down. This position protects you from falling but allows you to still move if necessary.

COVER your head and neck (and your entire body if possible) underneath a sturdy table or desk. If there is no shelter nearby, get down near an interior wall or next to low-lying furniture that won’t fall on you, and cover your head and neck with your arms and hands.

If you are inside, stay inside.

DO NOT run outside or to other rooms during an earthquake. You are less likely to be injured if you stay where you are.

If you are in a high-rise building, drop, cover, and hold on

Move away from windows and outside walls.

Stay in the building.

DO NOT use the elevators. The electricity may go out, and the sprinkler systems may come on.

If you are trapped, stay calm. Try to get someone’s attention by tapping on hard or metal parts of the structure. Doing so may increase your chances of being rescued.

If you are outside, stay outside

Go to an open area away from trees, telephone poles, and buildings. Once in the open, get down low and stay there until the shaking stops

If you are in a moving vehicle, stop as quickly and safely as possible.

If you are in a stadium or theater, stay in your seat. Protect your head and neck with your arms or any way possible.
