We don’t know when and where the next earthquake will hit. But we do know the importance of safety and preparation. The only way to be ready for the unexpected is to prepare ahead of time. It’s especially important if you live in earthquake zones. So here are some important steps to build your own Earthquake Action Plan.

1. Talk to your friends and families and decide on a place to meet if you’re separated after an earthquake.

2. Make an emergency(紧急情况)communication plan in case cell towers or phone lines are down. You can also ask relatives or friends outside your area to be your contacts.

3. Locate a safe place in every room of your house and discuss with your families the safest places to be during an earthquake. Remember, if you’re:

a. Inside, get under something heavy like a study table or against an inside wall and cover your head.

b. Outside, stay away from buildings and get out into the open.

c. In your car, stop and stay in your seat. If you’re stopped near a building or under an overpass(天桥),try to safely move away from it.

4. Store first-aid kits(急救箱)anywhere you spend a lot of time(house, car, workplace, etc. ).

5. Pack plenty of batteries, flashlights, and bottles of water to prepare for power outages and water shortages.

6. Review your home’s important systems(electrical, gas, water, etc. )and know how to operate them or shut them off in an emergency.

Although they’re somewhat unusual, earthquakes are incredibly terrible, overwhelming, and unpredictable forces of nature. But with some knowledge and preparation, we can mitigate risks and do the best we can to keep ourselves and our families safe.
