To save energy as much as possible, you can use bricks, iron pipes and other objects to knock on the wall, send a message to the outside world, and call for help when you are sure that someone is not far away.

When several people are buried at the same time, they must encourage each other, plan together, cooperate in unity, and take escape actions if necessary.

Strictly prevent 2 types of disasters after the earthquake

Infectious diseases: It is necessary to control the "disease from the mouth". The drinking water source shall be provided with special personnel for protection and disinfection. In areas where malaria occurs, special attention should be paid to preventing mosquitoes. If you find that the patient has a sudden high fever, headache, vomiting, stiff neck, etc., you should seek medical treatment as soon as possible.

Secondary hazards such as floods, fires, and the spread of toxic gases: Compared with the earthquake itself, the fires after the earthquake are more terrible. Inflammable, explosive, highly toxic and other items in industrial and mining enterprises must be closely monitored. In the event of an earthquake, once a highly toxic or flammable gas overflow is found, an emergency repair should be organized immediately. The liquefied gas switch should be turned off immediately to eliminate the source of fire.
