Planning Ahead for 地震安全
The time to prepare is before an earthquake happens. You never know when an earthquake may strike, especially in Southern California.
Before an Earthquake
-
安装地震 关闭阀门.
-
Perform a walk-through to identify items that could fall when shaken, then secure those items.
-
Find good places to “duck, cover, and hold” and practice it.
-
Identify escape routes and meeting places outside your home for family members.
After an Earthquake
In the event of an earthquake, follow these tips to keep you and others safe:
-
Restrict telephone use except for family emergency needs or to report dangerous conditions.
-
刻度盘 911 only if you have a life-threatening emergency.
-
Avoid making unnecessary trips. If you must go, dress in warm, loose layers with sturdy shoes and let others know where you’re going.
-
Do not touch any downed power lines or broken gas lines and immediately report them to us, 警察, or the fire department.
-
不要使用火焰. Use flashlights, not lanterns, matches, or candles.
-
Boil or purify drinking water.
