小編： 200How To Ride Out the Earthquake
Limit your movements during an earthquake to a few steps to a nearby safe place. Stay indoors until the shaking has stopped and you are sure it is safe to leave.
If you are indoors
? Drop, Cover, and Hold ― Take cover under a sturdy desk, table, or bench, or against an inside wall, and hold on. If there is no desk or table near you, cover your face and head with your arms and crouch in an inside corner of the building.
? Stay away from glass, windows, outside doors and walls, and anything that could fall, such as lighting fixtures and furniture.
? If you are in bed when the earthquake strikes, stay there. Hold on and protect your head with a pillow, unless you are under a heavy light fixture that could fall. In that case, move to the nearest safe place.
? Stay inside until the shaking stops and it is safe to go outside. Most injuries during earthquakes occur when people are hit by falling objects while entering or leaving buildings.
? Be aware that electricity may go out or that sprinkler systems or fire alarms may turn on.
? Do not use elevators.
If you are outdoors
? Stay there.
? Move away from buildings, trees, streetlights, and utility wires.
If you are in a moving car
? Stop as quickly as safety permits, pull to the side of the road, and stay in the car.
? Avoid stopping near or under buildings, trees, overpasses, and utility wires.
? Do not attempt to drive across bridges or overpasses that have been damaged.
? Proceed cautiously after the earthquake has stopped, watching for road and bridge damage.
If you are trapped under debris
? Do not light a match.
? Do not move about or kick up dust.
? Cover your mouth with a handkerchief or clothing.
? Tap on a pipe or wall so that rescuers can find you. Use a whistle if one is available. Shout only as a last resort ― shouting can cause you to inhale dangerous amounts of dust.
當地震還在持續時，將你的活動范圍限制在周圍某個安全地點幾步以內；在晃動停止、確認安全后再離開室內。如果地震時你在室內
蹲下，尋找掩護，抓牢――利用寫字臺、桌子或者長凳下的空間，或者身子緊貼內部承重墻作為掩護，然后雙手抓牢固定物體。如果附近沒有寫字臺或桌子，用雙臂護住頭部、臉部，蹲伏在房間的角落。
遠離玻璃制品、建筑物外墻、門窗、以及其他可能墜落的物體，例如燈具和家具。
如果地震發生時你在床上，請待在那里不要動。抓緊枕頭保護住你的頭部。如果你上方有可能墜落的重型燈具，請轉移至最近的安全地帶。
在晃動停止并確認戶外安全后，方可離開房間。地震中的大多數傷亡，是在人們進出建筑物時被墜物擊中造成的。
要意識到可能會斷電，火警以及自動噴淋裝置可能會啟動。
切勿使用電梯逃生。
如果地震時你在室外
待在原地不要動。
遠離建筑區、大樹、街燈和電線電纜。
如果地震時你在開動的汽車上
在確保安全的情況下，盡快靠邊停車，留在車內。
不要把車停在建筑物下、大樹旁、立交橋或者電線電纜下。
不要試圖穿越已經損壞的橋梁。
地震停止后小心前進，注意道路和橋梁的損壞情況。
如果你被困在廢墟下
不要點火柴。
不要向周圍移動，避免揚起灰塵。
用手帕或布遮住口部。
敲擊管道或墻壁以便讓救援人員發現你。可能的話，請使用哨子。在其他方式不奏效的情況下再選擇呼喊――因為喊叫可能使人吸入大量有害灰塵。
