Recovering from an Earthquake Author: BlogsAndChildrenFirst

disaster information

Earthquakes are caused by continent sized tectonic plates moving and rubbing against each other hundreds of miles beneath the earth’s surface.  It is near impossible to predict an earthquake, thus when one occurs, it can cause widespread panic and fear.  The most important piece of disaster information all guides offer is to remain calm.  During and after an earthquake, there are a number of steps you should take to protect yourself.  When an earthquake hits, ensure you get under a desk or table to prevent falling objects from hitting your head.  If there is no desk or table near, standing in a door frame is the next best thing. 

When the earthquake stops, it is important to be wary of aftershocks, which can be near as powerful as the earthquake.  You will want to check yourself for injury, and get outdoors as quick as possible.  Stay away from glass windows or objects which could fall and cause you harm.
