4. Once every 30 seconds there is an earthquake. But don’t worry because most are so weak that they cannot be felt. Only a few hurt people.
But many earthquakes happen in China, so it is important to know what to do when one hits. In Japan, children are given lessons on earthquake safety because many happen there. Here are the National Earthquake Bureau’s (国家地震局) top tips on how to stay safely in an earthquake.
● If you are indoors during an earthquake, hide under a desk. Stay away from windows and anything that could fall on you.
● If you are outdoors, try to move away from buildings and streetlights. These could fall on you.
● If you are in a shop and far from the door, do not run outside. Everyone will be doing that and you will find it hard to get out. Hide under a desk, don’t get into a lift during an earthquake.
● When an earthquake has ended, be careful because aftershocks may still happen. These are just as dangerous as the earthquake itself, so stay under the desk until you really think it is safe to get up.
● If you are at home and you smell gas, open a window and get out of the building quickly. A gas line in your house may be broken. This could be very dangerous.
● Make sure you wear shoes after an earthquake. There may be broken glass on the ground.
