In addition, special terminals for earthquake early warning systems have been installed in the homes of residents in some earthquake-prone areas on the mainland. It is like a small TV screen, once an earthquake strikes, early warning information such as the countdown to the arrival of seismic waves will appear on the screen, reminding users to take shelter as soon as possible.
When an earthquake occurs: how to avoid danger and save yourself?
01
How to avoid danger in buildings?
1. Choose kitchens and bathrooms with many load-bearing walls and small bays to dodge.
2. Pay attention to avoid the weak parts of the wall, such as near doors and windows.
3. Do not take or hide in the elevator. Do not follow the crowd and crowd downstairs to escape.
4. Don't blindly jump off the building to escape.

3. Try to use the items around you to protect your head, such as quilts, pillows, etc.
03
How to avoid danger in the workplace?
1. Quickly hide next to a low, sturdy desk or the inner corner of a load-bearing wall, which is easy to form a shock-absorbing space.
2. Hide in a small room with supports, such as a bathroom, storeroom, etc.
3. Don't jump off the building easily.
4. Do not absorb shocks by the window or balcony.
5. Do not hide in the stairs and elevators, if you are in the elevator during the earthquake, you should leave as soon as possible, if the door cannot be opened, you should squat down with your head and grasp the handrail.
04
How to avoid danger in large public places?
1. Squat next to solid objects during the earthquake, and evacuate in an orderly manner after the earthquake to avoid crowding. Don't take the elevator and don't stop at the stairs.
2. If you are in a gymnasium or theater, squat next to the row of chairs on the spot, pay attention to avoid hanging objects, and protect your head with schoolbags and other objects.
3. If you are in shopping malls, exhibition halls, restaurants, etc., you should choose the corners of interior walls, next to pillars, sturdy counters, and goods (such as low furniture, etc.), and squat down quickly. Avoid glass doors, windows, doors, and glass windows, avoid tall and unstable shelves and heavy and fragile items, and avoid towering or hanging objects such as billboards and chandeliers, while protecting your head.
05
outdoors
1. Choose the nearest open place to absorb the shock: squat down to avoid falling. Don't run around and avoid crowded places. Don't just go back indoors.
2. Avoid tall buildings or structures: buildings, especially buildings with glass curtain walls, street bridges and overpasses, high chimneys, water towers, etc.
3. Avoid dangerous objects, towering or hanging objects: transformers, telephone poles, street lights, billboards, cranes, etc.
4. Avoid other dangerous places: narrow streets, dilapidated houses, fences, parapet walls, high door faces, under awnings, bricks and tiles, etc.
06
outskirts
1. First of all, we should pay attention to avoid the dangerous environment on the side of the mountain, do not stay at the foot of the mountain and the edge of the steep cliff; when encountering landslides and landslides, we should run in the direction perpendicular to the rocks, and we must not run down the mountain in the direction of the rocks. In addition, you can also hide under strong obstacles (such as dense trees, etc.), or squat under a ditch, taking special care to protect your head.
2. If you are near a river, lake, or seaside, be careful of the river bank collapsing and falling into the water, or the upstream reservoir collapsing causing the downstream to rise water, or a tsunami.
When an earthquake strikes: What should I do if I am buried?
01
Establish the belief of survival, believe that you will be rescued, and protect yourself as much as possible.
02
Quickly determine where you are, improve the surrounding environment, expand the living space, find and open up escape channels, when there is a peculiar smell or dust, cover your mouth and nose with wet clothes to ensure that your breathing is unobstructed.
03
Avoid yelling and try to conserve your strength. When you hear movement, you can choose to hit the iron pipe and wall with bricks, iron tools and other objects, or blow a whistle to send out a distress message.
04
When conditions permit, we should try to find and save food and drinking water, create living conditions, and wait patiently for rescue.
05
If there is traumatic bleeding on the body, it is necessary to bandage it with clothes in time to stop the bleeding, and if a fracture occurs, it should be fixed with suitable materials according to the situation on the spot.
When an earthquake occurs: three misunderstandings of escape and risk avoidance
Myth 1
× In the event of an earthquake, flee outdoors immediately
√ If the indoor seismic absorption conditions and building quality are good, indoor seismic isolation should be preferred. When an earthquake occurs in an instant, people are more likely to be injured when they enter and leave buildings, bricks, billboards, and glass walls on roofs are in danger of collapsing, and people living on high-rise buildings are prone to chaos if they flee at the same time.
Myth 2
× Hide in furniture such as wardrobes
√ Although the wardrobe is strong, the center of gravity is too high and easy to tilt, and hiding in the cabinet has obstructed vision and restrained limbs, which will not only miss the opportunity to escape, but also is not conducive to rescue.
Myth 3
× Lying on the ground or lying down waiting for rescue
√ The best posture is to protect your head with your hands and bend your side (to protect your spine). When an earthquake occurs, it is dangerous to lie down or lie on your stomach. Because this will increase the flat area of the body, the chance of being hit by an object is greater than that of standing, and lying down is not conducive to the flexible movement of the body.
After an earthquake: How to deal with secondary disasters?
01
In the event of a gas leak, cover your mouth and nose with a wet towel, do not use an open flame, and try to evacuate after an earthquake.
02
In case of fire: Lie on the ground and cover your mouth and nose with a wet towel. When the earthquake stops, you should flee the fire against the wind and move to a safe place.
03
When the poison gas leaks: In the event of a fire in a chemical plant and a poison gas leak, do not run downwind, try to go around to the upwind direction, and try to cover your mouth and nose with a wet towel.
