地震后该怎么做

地震s can be scary, but the danger doesn't end when the shaking stops. Even if you've prepared for an earthquake, you and your family's safety should be your top priority. T在这里 are several actions that you should take after an earthquake stops to help keep you and your family safe and protect your property.

评估你的处境

Stay calm and make sure you are in a safe place. 如果可能的话, put on protective clothing such as sturdy boots or shoes in case you need to walk through debris or broken glass. If your home or the location you are at is damaged, slowly and safely evacuate. Get outside to your designated meeting spot or a safe place away from damaged roadways, 高大的建筑和电线. 去一个更安全的地方, 注意结构损坏, 坠落的碎片, 气体泄漏, downed power lines or flammable liquid spills. And do not enter any damaged buildings or use an elevator.

检查受伤情况

Look for common earthquake injuries such as head trauma, lacerations or fractures. The quicker you can get attention for injuries, the better. If you have your earthquake bag with you, a first-aid kit will be helpful. 联系 local authorities for a serious medical emergency.

预计余震

保持警惕，为余震做好准备. 根据美国.S. Geological Society, aftershocks are smaller earthquakes that happen after the main earthquake. Numerous earthquake aftershocks can continue for a long time after the main earthquake, so don't assume that it is safe to go back to your home. 

寻找更高的地方

If you are near the shore and in an area that could experience a tsunami, 立即向内陆高地转移. A tsunami can be very fast moving and could arrive within minutes of an earthquake.

Establish communication and monitor the situation

Check on family, neighbors or coworkers, and help them if needed. Listen for updates and instructions from local media with a battery-operated radio or cellphone. They will likely have emergency broadcasts with damage information and rescue centers. Only return home if authorities indicate it is safe to do so.

检查你的家

When entering your home after an earthquake, you should be extremely careful. If it is safe to do so, shut off any utilities that could create a hazard. Damage to the building may not be apparent to the eye and you need to watch each step. You should also have an exit route planned in case of an aftershock. 注意:

• Damaged walls, floors, doors and staircases
• Gas leaks, which may be apparent by smell or hissing sounds
• 电气系统损坏
• 污水或水管损坏
• Loose drywall, plaster or ceilings that can fall

安全 should be the #1 priority when inspecting damage or making any repairs.
