Yesterday (January 23) Ling Chen
A magnitude 7.1 earthquake struck Wushi County, Aksu Prefecture, Xinjiang
Many earthquakes are felt strongly
How to avoid an earthquake?
What was the first thing to do in the event of a major earthquake?
Let's learn ↓↓
Earthquakes of different magnitudes
How do you feel about each?
In the latest episode of "Let's Talk".
The host Sa Beining felt it separately
Earthquakes of magnitude 3, 5 and 8
He went from standing steadily to holding the railing with one hand
In the end, I called "I can't catch it"......
Xiao Sa said with emotion:
"Now I finally understand
Why do people who have experienced strong earthquakes say
It's not that I don't want to run
But you can't even run."
Three misunderstandings of earthquake escape and risk avoidance
Be sure to keep it in mind
[❌ Myth 1]
In the event of an earthquake, flee outdoors immediately
✅ If the indoor seismic absorption conditions and construction quality are better
Indoor suspension should be preferred
The earthquake happened in an instant
When a person enters or leaves a building
There is a high probability of being smashed
Roof bricks, billboards, glass walls, etc
are in danger of collapsing
Moreover, if people who live on the upper floors flee at the same time
Prone to confusion
[❌ Myth 2]
Hide in furniture such as wardrobes
The large wardrobe is sturdy though
But the center of gravity is too high and easy to tilt
And hiding in the cabinet has a blocked view
The limbs are tied
It's not just about missing out on escapes
It is not conducive to rescue
[❌ Myth 3]
Lie on the ground or lie down waiting for rescue to save energy
✅ The best posture is:
Hands to protect the head, bend the body and lie on the side (to protect the spine)
When an earthquake occurs
Lying down or lying on your stomach is dangerous
This increases the flat area of the body
Chance of being hit by an object
5 times larger than standing
And lying down is not conducive to the flexible movement of the body
In the event of a major earthquake
The first thing?
When a major earthquake struck
No matter where you are
The first thing to do
It's to find a way to protect your head
If indoors
You can start by hiding under a sturdy table
Wait for the earthquake shaking to end
If there is no shelter such as a table nearby
Cover your head with cushions, pillows, quilts, etc
If it is outdoors in an open area
And there was nothing to cover the head
Can squat
Place your hands crossed about 10 cm above your head
After a major earthquake, there will be aftershocks
In the course of the escape
Also take care to protect your head at all times
ask
What is the best practice for a major earthquake in the middle of the night?
A. Get out of bed immediately
Hide in tight spaces such as the bathroom
B. Get out of bed immediately
Lie on the floor next to the bed
C. Get out of bed immediately

「B」
Actually, the ABC is correct
But when a major earthquake struck
Usually there is no time to move around
The quickest thing is to roll out of bed
Lie on the side of the bed in a safer triangle
Phone settings that many people overlook
You can save your life at a critical moment!
Earthquake early warning is very important
In times of emergency
It can buy precious time to escape
Different mobile phone models can refer to the following methods↓↓
Please turn on the earthquake warning function
Check in the bud
Peace of mind to all!
