What do you do when there is an earthquake?

Doug Copp, captain of the US rescue team, who has been rescuing earthquakes in 60 countries since 1985 has shared valuable experiences in the most difficult situation when an earthquake struck.

According to Doug Copp, when the building collapsed, the weight of the ceiling fell, the furniture inside the house was often crushed or clashed, leaving a space right next to them. Around this space, Doug called "the triangle of life " . And at that time, people used this space to safely shelter, avoid injury.

Here are Doug Copp's advice:

1. The most common reaction is to get under your desk or car.This action will cause you to be crushed.

2. For pets, their reaction when there is aftershock is curled up in the position of a fetus, you should also do it this way. You can survive in a smaller space. Come next to an object, next to a sofa, next to a large bulky object that will slightly squash but leave a void next to it.

3. The safest wooden buildings in construction can be in an earthquake. If the wooden house collapses, many gaps are created.

4. If you are sleeping in bed during the night and an earthquake happens, you simply have to roll off the bed. A safe space will exist near the bed. Therefore, hotels can achieve a much higher survival rate in the earthquake, simply by posting a sign behind the door of each newspaper room for guests to lie down on the floor, next to the under the bed when there is an earthquake.

5. Absolutely not stand under doorway and door jamb when earthquake occurs.

6. Don't go to the stairs. Even if stairs do not collapse by the earthquake, they may collapse after being overloaded by people fleeing.

6. While collecting data inside an earthquake-damaged press agency, Doug found out, the offices with lots of paper piled up, when the earthquake struck, large space was available. found around these piles of paper. It's also a kind of 'life triangle' that saves your life when you're in this situation.

Meanwhile, in Japan, where earthquakes often occur, people are also instructed how to handle simple, easy to remember but very useful.

When an earthquake hits , the need to turn off the gas, open a window or door to prevent it from collapsing is not trapped, take a bag of dry-type food and drink water when the earthquake (this bag is sold available in supermarkets). When the aftershock is over, immediately turn on the television to see the earthquake news.

Nearly all TV channels connected to the earthquake warning system immediately informed the details of where the earthquake occurred, how much it was and warned of the possibility of a tsunami, given Other necessary guidelines for people .
