Answer 1

Answer:

Before an Earthquake

1.Make sure you have a fire extinguisher, first aid kit, a battery-powered radio, a flashlight, and extra batteries at home.

2.Learn first aid.

3.Learn how to turn off the gas, water, and electricity.

4.Make up a plan of where to meet your family after an earthquake.

5.Don't leave heavy objects on shelves (they'll fall during a quake).

During Earthquake

1.Stay calm! If you're indoors, stay inside. If you're outside, stay outside.

2.If you're indoors, stand against a wall near the center of the building, stand in a doorway, or crawl under heavy furniture (a desk or table). Stay away from windows and outside doors.

3.If you're outdoors, stay in the open away from power lines or anything that might fall. Stay away from buildings (stuff might fall off the building or the building could fall on you).

4.Don't use matches, candles, or any flame. 5.Broken gas lines and fire don't mix.

If you're in a car, stop the car and stay inside the car until the earthquake stops.

After the Earthquake

1.Be careful of chimneys (they may fall on you).

2.Stay away from beaches. Tsunamis and seiches sometimes hit after the ground has stopped shaking.

3.Stay away from damaged areas.

4.If you're at school or work, follow the emergency plan or the instructions of the person in charge.

5.Expect aftershocks.
