Now there is a saying on the Internet that small earthquakes don't need to run, and big earthquakes can't run, so there is no need to encounter an earthquake, just stay where you are.
This sentence is complete nonsense, and it is simply a big mistake. As one of the most serious natural disasters, earthquakes are definitely not something that can be solved in this sentence, so if we encounter an earthquake, how can we get the best chance of survival? You can stop this article, let's talk about it today.
First of all, we must remember one thing, that is, to see if the place we are in is in an earthquake-prone zone, although our country is just sandwiched between the Himalayan seismic zone and the Pacific Rim seismic zone, there are still some areas that belong to the earthquake-prone zone, such as the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, the southeast coast, Yunnan, Sichuan and other places, and comrades in these places must pay more attention.
If you are not in an earthquake-prone area, then you can breathe a sigh of relief, but you must not completely relax, knowing that the Tangshan earthquake that shocked China and the rest of the world came from the northern part of China, which is not originally an earthquake-prone zone, and this must be remembered.
Generally speaking, there are some strange natural phenomena before an earthquake, such as cats and dogs suddenly becoming very irritable, ants and mice suddenly moving in groups, abnormal water temperature and color, strange chirps of the earth, etc.
However, these anomalies do not occur before every earthquake, and some folk earthquake omen phenomena have no scientific basis, such as the "earthquake cloud" that was very hot before, in fact, there is no scientific basis to prove that the appearance of this cloud has any direct relationship with an earthquake in a certain place. At present, human science and technology cannot effectively predict the arrival of an earthquake, and can only reduce the disaster caused by the earthquake as much as possible through extreme emergency response in the minutes before the earthquake and continuous reserves in peacetime.
According to the standards given by the Earthquake Bureau, each person in the family should keep at least enough drinking water and food for at least 72 hours to survive, that is, 3-4 liters of drinking water and enough food for three days.
In terms of water preparation, it is recommended to stock up on bottled water, because water can easily be contaminated after an earthquake, and bottled water can solve this problem very well.
Although instant noodles seem to be a good choice, instant noodles are high in oil and salt, and long-term consumption is easy to aggravate thirst and lead to water shortage, so instant noodles are more suitable for use as excessive food after the reconstruction of disaster areas.
In addition to food, flashlights, medications and radios are also essential options, including band-aids, bandages, alcohol and other trauma treatment drugs and cold medicines, anti-inflammatory drugs and other internal drugs, in addition, it should be noted that if there are members with chronic diseases in the family, then symptomatic antihypertensive drugs, hypoglycemic drugs should also be prepared at least a week's amount. Because after the earthquake, these drugs basically have to be dispensed through other provinces, and the spare amount of drugs for a week is prepared.
Then there is the backup of important documents, such as ID cards and bank cards, otherwise it will be annoying to reissue them after the reconstruction work is completed in the future.
Also, if you have a pet, prepare an emergency food for your pet, preferably to ensure that the pet has accurate identification and up-to-date veterinary registration, as well as a kennel and a leash.
These are the most basic emergency evacuation supplies, which can ensure your basic survival for at least three days after the earthquake, and with our current emergency response speed, three days is enough time for you to live in the tent that your PLA uncles set up for you to rebuild comfortably.
You can add items that you think are useful according to your actual needs, such as survival posts and some clothing, which will greatly increase your chances of being rescued if you are buried in the rubble by an earthquake.
Now that the supplies are ready, let's take the next step, which is to go out and see where the nearest emergency shelter is to your home, which is generally an open area, such as a school playground, a community park, etc., where there will generally be a "emergency shelter" sign, memorize the location and route, and rush here as soon as possible with the whole family with emergency supplies after the earthquake.
Then turn on the disaster warning option in your mobile phone, so that you can receive the earthquake disaster warning as soon as possible, remember, the earthquake warning you receive will show the intensity of the earthquake and the distance from you, as well as how long the earthquake shear wave will reach where you are, this time is the key to you to judge whether you want to escape, please be sure to remember, if it is an earthquake with a very low seismic intensity, then there is basically no need to worry about anything, and what to do after the earthquake wave passes.
But if it is a moderately strong earthquake, then it is best to put down the work in hand, take things in an orderly manner, go out of your own house, if it is a building, do not take the elevator, take the stairs, and stay away from high-rise buildings as much as possible after walking out of the community. Because although an earthquake of this magnitude is unlikely to collapse a building, it is indeed worth the loss of falling something from a tall building.
But if it is a high-intensity earthquake, that is, the countdown in the earthquake broadcast will be mixed with two "drops" of the kind of warning, then now be sure to take the supplies, hurry up, if your home is on the first, second and third floors, then you still have time, if your family lives in a high-rise building, then don't hesitate now, find the place with the most pipes in your home to hide in, such as bathrooms and toilets, and wait until the end of the earthquake to quickly leave the building, and immediately go to the nearest emergency evacuation place to evacuate.
Then if you are unlucky and unfortunately buried in the rubble, then don't panic now, what you have to do now is to first confirm whether you are injured, if not, then do not touch any of the ruins around you, so as not to have a secondary collapse, and the second is to confirm whether there is food and water around you, if so, then you must save as much as possible, because in the next period of time, you will have to rely on them.
If you don't have water and food around you, don't panic now, lie down, close your eyes, and use as little energy as possible, preferably not moving anywhere but breathing. Wait for rescuers to arrive.
In this case, time will pass very slowly, and sometimes people will think that several days have passed, but in reality the real time is only two hours, so you must tell yourself as much as possible that you will be rescued, do not give up hope, must save your energy, and must not shout and scream.
If you hear the sound of someone moving nearby, don't shout or try to move the rubble around you, but use a survival post or hit various objects around you with a rock to make a sound to attract the attention of the rescue team until they get you out.
After the earthquake, do not rush back to your original home, because after a large earthquake, there are almost always several aftershocks, some of which can be as strong as the main shock, which can cause secondary damage to the building structure and lead to more serious disasters, so please be sure to return home to pick up your belongings after the earthquake is completely over.
Then there is the issue of secondary disasters, after the earthquake, because some organisms that die due to the earthquake often pollute the water source, so after the earthquake there is often the spread of some plagues, and some electrical appliances suddenly lose power and cause fires, and the phenomenon of flooding of river water sources due to earthquakes also occurs, which are all secondary disasters that need to be prevented.
Finally, on the issue of rescue, each country has a complete set of earthquake emergency response methods, and we can be said to be one of the best in one of them, for example, the recent Gansu earthquake, 24 hours after the incident, there have been emergency tents have been set up, and 72 hours later, the people in the disaster area can already eat hot beef noodles and dumplings, and even fried chicken and stew, which are our country's high level of emergency response, and the excellent embodiment of the unity of the people in other places, so please believe that after the earthquake disaster, the country will do its best to save every affected people, so that every resident in the disaster area can get the compensation they deserve and a new home.
In general, an earthquake is a very terrifying and dangerous natural disaster, but in the face of natural disasters, human beings are not helpless, as long as we remember the correct survival methods and emergency measures, even when a serious earthquake comes, it can leave us with great possibilities for survival.
Or that sentence, the earthquake is definitely not the so-called small earthquake does not need to run the big earthquake can not run, this fluke mentality will only reduce your chances of survival when the earthquake comes, so believe in the country, believe in the government, believe in yourself, when the disaster comes, our strong motherland will always be the strongest backing for each of us Chinese.
