In the year 2012 Scientists have not yet really determined whether an
earthquake will destroy the earth. Not knowing when an earthquake
strikes, a lot of people will get injured or even killed and
properties will be damaged. The only thing we can do, if we live in an
area near fault lines, is to be prepared everyday for such
eventualities.
2012 the things you should do to Prepare for an earthquake disaster:
Preparedness for an emergency by having a disaster kit
In the event of the phenomenon of 2012 you will never know what will
happen after a quake, thus, you should always have an emergency
disaster kit for everyone in your household. Each kit must contain at
least one gallon of water, food supply for at least three days (you
should select not perishable food), and first aid kit.
For the year 2012 you should ensure that you regularly change the food
and water in your emergency kit. The food and water in your kit will
be of little use if they are already not fit to eat or drink. Instead
of saving your life, such might even exacerbate your situation. What
to know about your mains utilities
Earthquakes might cause fires from gas leaks and electricity. Thus, it
is important that you know where the main switches of your utilities
are so that you can turn them off when needed.
Inspect your Property for cracks and fissures
You must regularly check the condition of your Property to ensure that
it can withstand even a strong earthquake. Be sure to have the cracks
on your walls, chimney and even door frames fixed. If you live in an
apartment, report cracks and fissures to your landlord immediately, so
that he or she can do something about the situation.
Have an evacuation for a disaster plan
In any catastrophe event you and your family must make an emergency
plan for disasters, such as fire, floods, and earthquakes. Each member
of the family should know what to do in case of such incidents. You
will be able to protect your family more if you prepare them earlier.
Panic and confusion can often lead to injuries accidents.
Here are the things you should do during an earthquake:
The first thing you and your family should do is to stay away from
objects that might fall off. Stay away from book cases, cabinets, and
hanging objects, such as chandeliers, or ceiling fan.
During an earthquake, it is wiser that you stay put, particularly
under sturdy tables or door frames. Do not run around or even attempt
to get out of the house. There are more dangerous things outside your
house that could injure you, such as lampposts and cars.
Make sure that the emergency kit that you prepared is easily
accessible. If possible, place it in a location where you and your
family will run into during a quake.
