Before an earthquake strikes, there are some precautions that people can take to minimize the possible injuries and losses.
1. Establish emergency plans and drills: Communities, schools, and workplaces can organize regular earthquake emergency drills to train people on how to act, find safe places, and take the right protective measures.
2. Reinforcement of buildings and homes: For houses and buildings, seismic design and renovation are carried out to ensure that they are structurally stable. Families can secure furniture, stock up on first aid kits and emergency supplies at home, and make sure escape routes are clear.
3. Education and awareness-raising: Raise public awareness of earthquakes and teach people how to act when an earthquake strikes. This includes avoiding standing next to large furniture, avoiding glass, hiding under sturdy structures, or avoiding dropped objects.
4. Monitoring and early warning systems: Governments and scientific institutions can provide early warning services through earthquake monitoring systems, so that people can be warned in advance and given time to take action before an earthquake strikes.
5. Carry out emergency drills: Schools, communities and enterprises can carry out earthquake emergency drills on a regular basis to cultivate people's ability to help themselves and each other in the event of an earthquake, and improve their preparedness for disasters.
While these preventive measures cannot completely eliminate the risk posed by earthquakes, they can greatly reduce casualties and property damage, and improve the resilience of communities and individuals in the face of disasters.
