Lakson: The information and the call are never ending: What to do during the earthquake

It was on April 22, 2019, when a 6.1-magnitude earthquake struck Pampanga and the neighboring provinces. It was really a terrible accident for me because I was not with my children and my husband when that happened. My older son Marco was alone at home quietly watching Cartoon Network, thank God for giving my son the knowledge and the will to know the right thing to do in an earthquake. As soon as the power went out, and upon hearing his bike fell, he left the house and went to our neighbors.

The last time a strong earthquake struck our province was in July 1990, when a 7.8 magnitude earthquake killed more than 1,600 people and destroyed millions of properties specifically in the provinces of the Cordillera and Central Luzon regions.

In times of natural disasters and disasters, it is always better for us to keep ourselves safe and out of danger. Earthquakes are one of the most catastrophic disturbances because they may lead to aftershocks, waterfalls, and tsunamis, as happened in Japan months ago. So, here are some precautions we can take during and after the earthquake that I collected from the US Federal Emergency Management Agency:

If it’s inside, you should immediately “drop to the floor; take the COVER by sitting under a sturdy table or other piece of furniture; and continue to hold until the shaking stops. If there is no table or desk near you, cover your face and head with your arms and bows In an interior corner of the building. “As much as possible, you should stay away from windows, walls, doors or anything that can fall like wardrobes, appliances, lighting fixtures, and furniture. Hold a pillow and use it to protect your head while moving to the nearest safe location.

As instinct tells us to leave the building immediately and exit, it is a good idea to wait until the shaking stops. Research has learned that “most injuries occur when people inside the buildings try to move to a different location within the building or try to leave.” Do not use elevators during an earthquake, as you may get stuck inside if the power goes out.

If you are outdoors, it is imperative to stay in your place unless you are near a building, street light, or electrical wires, because most earthquake-related deaths are due to the collapse of walls, flying glass, and fallen objects. If you are in a moving vehicle during an earthquake, stop and stay in the car but avoid parking near or below buildings, bridges, trees, bridges, and electric poles. Once the earthquake stops, continue, but be careful when taking roads, bridges, or slopes that may have been affected by the earthquake.

The last thing we want to fall under is rubble, but in case this happens, it is not advisable to light a matchstick or lighter because electrical wires and gas pipes may have been damaged and may cause a fire. Look for a piece of fabric like a napkin to cover your mouth to prevent you from inhaling dust and other harmful particles. With limited moves, make some noises and noises to help rescuers find your place. Screaming is not a good thing to do because you may inhale dangerous amounts of dust.

It is a good thing for schools, institutions and companies to conduct fire and earthquake training to make employees, students and clients aware and ready for any emergency as in the case of fire and earthquake. On the other hand, we must provide our support and cooperation as well because this is for our safety. Let’s always keep in mind that having the right information in times of danger can always help us save lives.
