matter carefully. It may be worth you while to look over the following tips they have for us.
If the ground begins shaking while you
are driving, pull over and stay in your
car. If you are in a building, try to get
near a strong wall. The corner of the room
or the space under a big doorway is the safest. As soon as the quake is over, check the gas pipe in the building. Gas fires often result from earthquakes. These tips may prove to be lifesavers. We should, therefore, keep them in mind. Remember to always hope for the best but prepare for the worst.

lights and electric fans; protect the head with schoolbags; after the earthquake, listen to the command of the workers, retreat in an organized way.
●In department stores, bookstores, museums or subway: find firm counters,
commodities (low furniture etc.) or a pillar, or the corner of a wall to crouch down on the spot, protect the heads with hands or other objects; keep away from glass windows, glass counters or show counters; keep away from tall cupboards; keep away from advertisement boards and other suspending objects.
