Question

about earth quack

Answer 1

THAT IS MY NEW WORD! Thank you! I love that word...earthquack!

I am going to call it that from now on!

Answer 2

Earthquacks are meant to remind us of three key rules when an earthquake hits:
a) EARTH - things fall when earthquakes hit so get out of the way. Under a table/desk.
b) QUACKers - usually live out of doors. When an earthquake hits, you should get there also.
c) Earthquacks - are remarkably stable. They move with slow motion and seldom fall to the floor. A door jamb is remarkably similar. They twist like a waddle, but seldom collapse. If it does it won't matter anyhow because the who "sky" has fallen ducky.

The main thing to remember during an earthquake is to "duck and cover." Here are some guidelines to staying safe.


Steps:
1. Stay inside and duck and cover. Get underneath a desk or table, or stand in a corner or under a doorway. Cover your head and neck with your arms.

2. Move against an interior wall if in a high-rise building with no protective desk or table nearby. Cover your head and neck with your arms.

3. Try to get into an open area away from trees, buildings, walls, signs and power lines if outdoors.

4. Pull over to the side of the road away from overpasses and power lines if driving. Stay in your car until the shaking ends.

5. Get away from shelves or other areas where objects may fall if in a crowded store or public area. Do not run for the door. Crouch and cover your head and neck with your hands and arms.

6. Stay in your seat if in a stadium or a theater. Get below the level of the back of the seat and cover your head and neck with your arms.

Tips:
If you take cover under a sturdy piece of furniture, hold on to it and be prepared to move with it.

Try to stay away from kitchens and garages, where there are often many objects that might fall.

Answer 7

mistake forgiven :)
Drop, cover, and hold on! Move only a few steps to a nearby safe place. Most injured persons in earthquakes move more than five feet during the shaking. It is very dangerous to try to leave a building during an earthquake because objects can fall on you. Many fatalities occur when people run outside of buildings, only to be killed by falling debris from collapsing walls
If you are in bed, hold on and stay there, protecting your head with a pillow. You are less likely to be injured staying where you are. Broken glass on the floor has caused injury to those who have rolled to the floor or tried to get to doorways.
If you are outdoors, find a clear spot away from buildings, trees, streetlights, and power lines. Drop to the ground and stay there until the shaking stops. Injuries can occur from falling trees, street-lights and power lines, or building debris.
If you are in a vehicle, pull over to a clear location, stop and stay there with your seatbelt fastened until the shaking has stopped. Trees, power lines, poles, street signs, and other overhead items may fall during earthquakes. Stopping will help reduce your risk, and a hard-topped vehicle will help protect you from flying or falling objects. Once the shaking has stopped, proceed with caution. Avoid bridges or ramps that might have been damaged by the quake.
Stay indoors until the shaking stops and you are sure it is safe to exit. More injuries happen when people move during the shaking of an earthquake. After the shaking has stopped, if you go outside, move quickly away from the building to prevent injury from falling debris.
Stay away from windows. Windows can shatter with such force that you can be injured several feet away.
In a high-rise building, expect the fire alarms and sprinklers to go off during a quake. Earthquakes frequently cause fire alarm and fire sprinkler systems to go off even if there is no fire. Check for and extinguish small fires, and, if exiting, use the stairs.
If you are in a coastal area, move to higher ground. Tsunamis are often created by earthquakes.
If you are in a mountainous area or near unstable slopes or cliffs, be alert for falling rocks and other debris that could be loosened by the earthquake. Landslides commonly happen after earthquakes.

Protection from the earth quake is not so easy.But if we feel that the earth quake is going to happen we should try to leave the building and come on the open earth, where there is some chance of to be protected
