How can you protect yourself if there's an earthquake at school? What should you do if you are caught in a stampede（踩踏）? March 25 this year provides you with a good chance to learn about safety.

This day is called the National Day of Education on the Safety of Elementary and Middle School Students（NDESEMSS）（全国中小学生安全教育日）. The theme of the day this year is to give students more knowledge about safety and make sure their lives safe.

A survey done by the China Youth and Children Research Center showed that school accidents kill more elementary and middle school students than anything else. The main accidents come from stampedes, earthquakes, fires and sports injuries（伤害）.

What can we do to keep ourselves safe? Staying calm（镇静）is the first and most important rule when facing accidents. But different accidents have different self-protection advice.

A stampede is possible anywhere. The larger a human crowd gets, the more likely stampedes become. When students around you begin to push, stand still and try to hold onto something, or stay in a corner until the crowd leaves. If you fall down in a moving crowd, cover your head with both hands. Lean to one side, curl up your body and bend your legs.

Earthquakes are common natural disasters（灾难）. When you feel the ground shake, drop down, take cover under a desk and hold on. You should stay indoors until the shaking stops. If you are outdoors, don't stay near buildings, trees or power lines.

When there's a fire, follow the teachers' instructions, leave the classroom quickly and use a piece of cloth to cover your mouth and nose so that you don't breathe in smoke.

Many earthquakes happen without warning, so it is important to know what to do when it happens. Here are some tips on how to stay safe in earthquakes.

◆Keep a cool head. Worry won’t help you. Think about what you should do. The first several seconds are important.

◆If you are indoors, stay inside and duck and cover. Hide under a desk or table, or stand in a corner. Cover your head and neck with your arms. Stay away from windows and anything that could fall on you.

◆If you are in a crowded(拥挤的) hall or shop, don’t rush for the door. You will find too many people trying to get out at the same time. Instead, lower(降低) yourself close to the ground and cover your head and neck with your hands and arms.

◆If you are outdoors, try to get into an open area away from buildings, trees or street lights.

◆If you are trapped in a place, you may make noises by knocking at the rocks. But don’t shout all the time. You could be without help for up to 72 hours. Try to find some water and food.

◆Stay in your seat if in a cinema or a theatre. Get below the level(水平线) of the back of the seat. Cover your head and neck with your arms.
