How to prepare How to prepare for for earthquakes.earthquakes.



Para. 3 Besides working to improve building

structures, people in areas where earthquakes

are common need to prepare for the possibility

of a great earthquake. They should regularly

check and reinforce their homes, place heavy

objects in low positions, attach cupboards and

cabinets to walls, and fasten doors so that they

will not open accidentally during an earthquake.

prepare their house:check/reinforce homes …place heavy objects …attach cupboards & cabinets …fasten doors …



Para. 4a In addition to preparing their houses, people in these regions need to prepare themselves. They should have supplies of water and food at home and at work. It is best to store several gallons of water per person. It is also important to have something that can clean water and kill bacteria, so water from other sources can be made safe to drink.

prepare themselves:survival supplies — water and food.



Para. 4b Store one week’s food for each person. Earthquake survival supplies include a radio receiver, a torch, extra batteries, first aid supplies, a spade, a tent, some rope, and warm clothing. Experts also suggest the following:

radio receiver, torch, extra batteries, first-aid supplies, spade, tent, rope, clothing, fire extinguisher, auxiliary cooking and heating source, heavy shoes or boots.

prepare themselves:



Para. 5a Keep a fire extinguisher handy. You should have one at home, at work, and in your car (if you have one). The fire extinguisher should be able to put out any type of fire. Have the proper tools to turn off gas and water lines if necessary. Arrange an auxiliary cooking and heating source that can be used outside. One alternative is a portable camp stove with small cans of gas.

keep a fire extinguisher handy.



Para. 5b Keep a pair of heavy, comfortable shoes or boots in your home, at work, and in your vehicle. If there is an earthquake, there will be lots of fragments of broken glass. Light shoes will not protect your feet as well as heavy shoes will.

keep a fire extinguisher handy.



Para. 6a Every family needs to have earthquake emergency plans. How will family members leave the area during the chaos following an earthquake? Everyone should agree on a meeting point outside of the area—perhaps in a town several miles away. Also important is an arrangement for family members to communicate if there is an earthquake.

Make earthquakes emergency plans.



Para. 6b If an earthquake happens in a large city, many of the telephone lines within the city are likely to be down. The few remaining working lines will be busy with the calls that naturally occur after a disaster and it will be difficult to call from one part of the city to another. It might, however, be possible to call outside the city. A sensible arrangement is to have all of the members of the family call to check in with a friend or relative who lives more than a hundred miles away.

Make earthquakes emergency plans.



Para. 7a Although scientists still cannot predict earthquakes, they are learning a great deal about how the large plates in the Earth’s crust move, the stresses between plates, how earthquakes work, and the general probability that a given place will have an earthquake. Someday soon it may actually become possible to predict earthquakes with accuracy.

Education concerning how to survive an earthquake.



Para. 7b However, even if prediction becomes possible, people who live in areas where earthquakes are a common occurrence will still have to do their best to prevent disasters by building structures that are resistant to ground movement and by being personally prepared. These precautions can make a great difference in saving lives and preventing the loss of homes. Education concerning how to survive an earthquake should be a major emphasis for all government programs and earthquake-related research projects.
