up and me and my family will evacuted after hearing di NDRRMC WARNING that theres an earthquake
coming and we will surely go to the safe place without harm but during an earthquake me and my

Essay:
Hazard can happen anytime so a lot of people are not ready what will happen to them just
like in leyte 5.2 earthquake hit unexpected. If the hazard was happened to our community, we
should be always ready for what will happen. One important way to prepare for a hazard is to
try to make your home as safe as possible.

No, because an emergency can happen anywhere and at any time. It is important for us to
know what steps we can take before, during, and after an emergency to protect our loveones.
Parents ensure that family members are ready and know what to do when emergencies
happen. Protect yourself as quickly as possible.

When the earthquake hit in your country, you should drop, cover, and hold immediately
because anything you may suddenly be hit in the head. Make your home more resistant to
earthquake damage by assessing its structure and contents. Teach everybody in the family if
they are old enough how to turn off the water and electricity. Hold on to the object that you are
under so that you remain covered. Be prepared to move with the object until the shaking has
finished. Have an emergency kit that will sustain you and your family for at least 72 hours.
