What is the self-rescue knowledge for earthquake escape

Self-rescue knowledge for earthquake escape is very important to us. We hope that teachers in schools will strengthen drills in this area so that children can develop the correct escape awareness. When an earthquake strikes, we should choose to hide under the desk or run to an open area, and we should avoid running outdoors in a panic. Keeping a cool head is our main way to escape an earthquake. I hope everyone can escape in an orderly manner.

1. For the safety of yourself and your family, please hide under sturdy furniture such as tables.

The maximum shaking time is about 1 minute. The first thing you should consider is the personal safety of yourself and your family. First, take shelter under a sturdy table with a low center of gravity, and hold on to the legs tightly. In situations where there is no table or other place to hide, you should always protect your head with a cushion or something else.

2. Turn off the fire immediately when shaking, and extinguish the fire immediately when it breaks out

During a major earthquake, there may be situations where you cannot rely on fire trucks to put out fires. Therefore, each of our efforts to put out fires is an important factor in minimizing earthquake disasters. Make it a habit to turn off the fire even during a minor earthquake. In order to prevent a fire from causing a major disaster, it is extremely important for family members and neighbors to help each other and put out the fire early.

3. Don’t rush outside

After an earthquake occurs, running outside in a panic may cause broken glass, bricks and tiles from the roof, billboards, etc. to fall and hit you, which is very dangerous. In addition, cement precast walls, vending machines, etc. are also in danger of collapse, so stay away from these objects.

4. Open the door and ensure the exit

Houses with reinforced concrete structures will have doors and windows misaligned due to the shaking of an earthquake, making it impossible to open the door. There have been cases where people have been trapped in their houses. Please open the door and secure the exit. In normal times, you should think about how to escape in case you are locked in a house, and prepare ladders, ropes, etc.

The above is an introduction to earthquake escape safety knowledge. I believe that after reading the contents of this article, you should all know how to escape during an earthquake. Schools should strengthen children's awareness of earthquake escape in normal times. They can conduct appropriate earthquake escape drills to allow children to practice how to escape from an earthquake.
