Prepare for earthquakes

A- A+

National Earthquake Safety Day on January 15 is a critical reminder of the importance of preparedness and collective efforts to mitigate the risks posed by future earthquakes. Natural disasters not only test people's resilience, but also highlight communities' preparedness and response mechanisms. ApEx spoke to three people to learn about their experiences with disasters and their immediate and long-term impacts.

Every earthquake, big or small, brings fear and anxiety into our lives. It also causes severe damage, with houses cracking or collapsing, which in turn greatly affects the community. An earthquake is a natural disaster that can cause unexpected events when it occurs. To ensure safety during such times, it is essential that everyone is prepared with an emergency kit in advance. In addition, during an earthquake, it is important to remain calm, seek shelter near the main door of the house and move to an open area if possible. Adopting these measures can help ensure safety during an earthquake. To prepare for earthquakes and reduce damage, building and strengthening future earthquake-resistant homes is essential.

Every time I feel a tremor I feel very anxious and look for my family members. My immediate reaction is to go somewhere safer with everyone. In 2015, life stopped and we had to leave our homes. We couldn't go back for a month. News of people ransacking homes at such times made matters worse. We spent our nights in Ratnapark or Todikhel and people brought cylinders from their homes and started cooking there too. I don't think anyone is prepared for an earthquake. Even though you know what to do, you forget all about it during a disaster. The government and emergency response could have been better. They could have acted proactively rather than adopting a reactive approach. We need to conduct regular earthquake drills and everyone should prepare an emergency kit with essentials to take with them.

I was at home, in the kitchen, making tea for my family when the earthquake happened. At first, I thought it was a passing truck, but when the shaking intensified, I realized it was an earthquake. My family and I ran out of the house as quickly as we could, holding on to each other. The earthquake prompted the local community to come together to help each other, but fear and uncertainty remained. Honestly, we were not prepared at all. During the event, the only safety measure I could think of was to get out of the house as quickly as possible. Initial response was slow. We needed more immediate help and better coordination. There needs to be more education and awareness about earthquakes. People should know what to do during and after one. Regular training and training, especially in schools and communities, can help us feel more prepared.
