EARTHQUAKE
- any sudden shaking of the ground caused
by the passage of seismic waves through Earth’s rocks.
Seismic waves are produced when some
form of energy stored in Earth’s crust is
suddenly released, usually when masses of
rock straining against one another suddenly
fracture and “slip.” Earthquakes occur most
often along geologic faults, narrow zones
where rock masses move in relation to one
another.
What to Do Before an Earthquake?
● make sure you have a fire extinguisher,
first aid kit, a battery-powered radio, a
flashlight, and extra batteries at home.
● learn first aid.
● learn how to turn off the gas, water, and
electricity.
● make up a plan of where to meet your
family after an earthquake.
● don't leave heavy objects on shelves
(they'll fall during a quake).
● anchor heavy furniture, cupboards, and
appliances to the walls or floor.
● learn the earthquake plan at your school
or workplace.
What to Do During an Earthquake?
● stay calm! if you're indoors, stay inside. if
you're outside, stay outside.
● 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.
● 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).
● don't use matches, candles, or any flame.
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.
● don't use elevators (they'll probably get
stuck anyway).
What to Do After an Earthquake?
● check yourself and others for injuries.
provide first aid for anyone who needs it.
● check water, gas, and electric lines for
damage. If any are damaged, shut off the
valves. check for the smell of gas. If you
smell it, open all the windows and doors,
leave immediately, and report it to the
authorities.
● turn on the radio. don't use the phone
unless it's an emergency.
● stay out of damaged buildings.
● be careful around broken glass and
debris. wear boots or sturdy shoes to keep
from cutting your feet.
● stay away from damaged areas.
● if you're at school or work, follow the
emergency plan or the instructions of the
person in charge.
● expect aftershocks.
