    It is best to escape as soon as possible.

    Earthquakes can be sudden and unprepared, and if you are inside a house at the beginning of an earthquake, do not try to rush out of the house, as there is a great possibility of death. An expedient measure is to hide under a sturdy bed or table, and if you don't have solid furniture, stand at the door, the door frame is somewhat protective. Stay away from windows as the window panes may shatter.

    If you are outside, do not go near buildings, trees, power poles or any other tall buildings that may collapse. Stay as far away from tall buildings as possible and run into the clearing. To avoid losing your balance during an earthquake, lie on the ground. If there is no open space nearby, you should take shelter at the door for the time being.

    Do not hide in kilns, tunnels or underpasses, as the debris from the earthquake can fill or block the exit. Unless they are very strong, the tunnels themselves will collapse.

    In the event of an earthquake, a wooden house tends to tilt and the door cannot be opened, and your life may be lost. So, whether you go out or not, it's wise to open the door first.

    In the event of a major earthquake, items on shelves and books on shelves may fall down. At this time, it is extremely important to protect the head. In an emergency, you can use cotton cushions, blankets, pillows and other objects around you to cover your head to avoid being smashed.

    Even in the middle of summer, it is indecent to escape from the room naked, and the naked body is vulnerable to flying sparks, glass, and metal shards. Therefore, when going out to evacuate, wear as thick cotton clothes and cotton shoes and socks as possible, and avoid wearing chemical fiber products that are easy to catch fire.

    If you are hospitalized in an earthquake or an earthquake, the best strategy is to get under the bed. This prevents injuries caused by falling from the sunroof or overhead.

    During an earthquake, don't run on the road, as signboards, doors, windows, and other objects will fall everywhere you go. Therefore, it is best to wear something like a safety hat when you go to a dangerous situation at this time.

    In the event of an earthquake, the bridge will also collapse and fall into the river, so it is very dangerous to stop on the bridge or take shelter under the bridge. Therefore, if you encounter an earthquake on the bridge, you should leave the bridge quickly.

    Large earthquakes sometimes occur at the bottom of the sea, when a tsunami occurs. The waves rise sharply, and the boat near the shore is very dangerous. At this time, it is best to leave the beach quickly and away from the high waves to be considered safe.

    When an earthquake occurs in a public place, the people inside are crowded due to panic, and this is because the frightened people cannot find an escape exit. What is needed at this time is to be calm, to find the exit, and not to run around.

    You should take refuge in places such as toilets or kitchens, where the structure of the house is most solid.

    Hide in the bathroom. However, you should not hide in the kitchen, because the kitchen has gas facilities, fire, hot water and other dangerous goods.

If it's not safe, to lie down or lie on one side of the furniture, this is the life-saving triangle. If something hits the furniture, it will be held up by the furniture, and there is exactly a triangular gap, and it is dangerous for the furniture to collapse under the furniture. This is the most basic common sense.

Because most of the walls of the bathroom are load-bearing walls, which are not easy to break, and the bathroom area is relatively small, the span of the floor slab is small, and the number of floor slabs is also small, so during an earthquake, the possibility of the floor slab on the top of the bathroom breaking down is smaller than that of the bedroom and living room with a large area. Therefore, the bathroom is relatively safer.
