An earthquake is a sudden, violent shaking of the ground. Earthquakes can happen without warning and can cause great damage. If you are in an earthquake, you should:
- Immediately drop to the ground
- Cover your head and neck with your arms
- Stay away from windows, fireplaces, and heavy furniture
- Do not use elevators
- Stay where you are until the shaking stops
If you are outside, you should:
- Stay away from buildings, power lines, and utility poles
- Move to an open area
- Do not stand near riverbanks, lakes, or the shore
- Do not try to outrun a tsunami
If you are driving, you should:
- Pull over to the side of the road
- Stop the car and set the parking brake
- Stay inside
Thank you for those tips. Maybe next time, we can talk about things more related to the post and not so academical. 😊
