Suffered a road collapse
Save yourself like this!
1. When pedestrians encounter road collapse, they should hold their heads with their hands, protect their faces with both arms, squat down and huddle together, hide their faces between their knees, retain the maximum breathing space, and try to protect their mouth and nose to prevent inhaling dust.
2. After the collapse, flee quickly when you can still escape, and shout for help when necessary. When you can't get out, you should conserve your strength, call for help in time, and wait for rescue. If there is a signal, you should call the police immediately, and you can also use the water pipes and gas pipes around you to make a sound for help.
3. If the car falls into the collapse area, quickly unbuckle the seat belt and escape through the window after the car is stationary, and find an escape route. If you are buried, do not panic, quickly use communication tools to call for help, conserve physical strength, and do not forcibly save yourself.
4. After the ground collapses, stay away from the accident site to avoid secondary disasters. Set up warning signs around the disaster site in a timely manner to evacuate the crowd.
