What to do during an earthquake!

Nowadays we have to be always prepared because we never know when an earthquake strikes. Here are some guidelines on what to do when there is an earthquake.

Protect yourself during an earthquake by following 3 simple steps:

IF YOU ARE INDOORS

1. DROP - drop down to the ground when shaking starts.

2. COVER - take cover by getting under a sturdy table or desk while covering your head and neck.

3. HOLD - hold on until the shaking stops.

Wherever you go, you must protect yourself. Stay away from glass, windows, walls, hanging lights and furnitures or anything that could fall. Turn off the electricity or the main power switch of your house to avoid electrecution (just in case). If you are in your bed, hold on and protect your head with a pillow, but if there are lighting fixtures or furnitures that might fall on your bed move to the nearest safe place like under a strong table or desk.

If you are in a building, use the stairs and not the elevator. Do not leave your house / room (if you're in a building) unless it is safe to go out but if you feel that your house / building might give in or collapse because of the strong quake, make sure you get out of your house / building fast and find a safe place to stay ouside.

IF YOU ARE OUTSIDE:

Just stay outside. Move away from buildings, electric posts, streetlights and billboards. Once you're in the open, stay there and wait until the earthquake stops.

Heartbreaking shots in Japan after a very strong earthquake and tsunami

Japan was hit by an 8.9 magnitude earthquake, March 12, 2011 Friday at 2:46 p.m. local time. Minutes later, the earthquake unleashed a 33-foot (ten-meter) tsunami along the northeastern coast of Japan near Sendai. Reports said that more than 1,000 people were feared dead and hundreds were missing.

Below are some photos of the devastated areas in Japan after the strong earthquake and tsunami:

Photo: Two Japanese women leaning to each other for support knowing that the earthquake took many lives

Photo: A liitle girl was rescued from a wrecked building

Photo: Buildings and houses were destroyed by the strong earthquake and tsunami

Photo: Buildings and houses, oil refineries and gas facilities were engulfed by flames because of the earthquake

Photo: A massive 33-foot waves (tsunami) engulfed houses and parked cars

Photo: Dozens of destroyed homes and cars were caught in the raging

waves. Muds and debris were seen flowing towards the fields.

Photo: The strong earthquake splits the road in to two on the island of Honshu

 

 

This devastating disaster in Japan caused many people to grieve in the lost of many lives, homes and jobs. Let us continue to give our support and love to the people in Japan that were affected by a massive earthquake and tsunami.

 

Our thoughts and prayers goes to JAPAN!

 

Remember, "Prayer changes everything".
