Lifts should not be used at the time of earthquake, because if the earthquake is too strong on the Richter's scale, it may cut the power. And, in this case, a person may be trapped in there for an uncertain period of time, till it is reconnected. Then, it is better to avoid it before and after the shocks.

SOME OTHER KNOWLEDGE -

Earthquake definition -

An earthquake is the shaking of the surface of the Earth resulting from a sudden release of energy in the Earth's lithosphere that creates seismic waves.

Effects of earthquake -

The primary effects of earthquakes are ground shaking, ground rupture, landslides, tsunamis, and liquefaction. Fires are probably the single most important secondary effect of earthquakes.

Scale of earthquake -

The Richter scale measures the largest wiggle (amplitude) on the recording, but other magnitude scales measure different parts of the earthquake. The USGS currently reports earthquake magnitudes using the Moment Magnitude scale, though many other magnitudes are calculated for research and comparison purposes.

Damage of earthquake -

The ground shaking may also cause landslides, mudslides, and avalanches on steeper hills or mountains, all of which can damage buildings and hurt people. The second main earthquake hazard is ground displacement (ground movement) along a fault.

Characteristics of earthquake -

Earthquakes are vibrations in the Earth's crust that cause shaking at the surface. They are highly unpredictable and often occur suddenly without warning. We do know where most earthquakes will occur, and they tend to coincide with destructive, conservative, collisional and constructive plate margins shocks.

Explanation : lift should not be used at the time of earthquake , because if the earthquake is too strong on the Richter's scale , it may cut the power . And in this case a person may be trapped in there for an certain period of time , till it is reconnected . Then it is better to avoid it before and after the shocks
