earthquake+procedure

Combined procedure (Both Shoshan's and Ashleigh's)

Before an earthquake:
 * 1) Create an emergency plan which you can put in place when a earthquake strikes. Make sure everyone understands the instructions.
 * 2) Get a survival kit ready and in a easy place to get to in an emergency.
 * 3) Secure all lose furniture and put blue-tack under ornaments.







During a earthquake:
 * 1) Go under and hold on to a table, desk or a sturdy door frame and wait for the shaking to stop if you are inside -stay there if you are. (Sometimes it is best to lie next to a piece of furniture rather than lie underneath it.)
 * 2) Move away from buildings, trees and power lines and drop to the ground and wait for the shaking to stop if your outside.
 * 3) Move to high ground if your on the beach because a tsunami may follow soon after the earthquake.
 * 4) Stay in the car if you are in one and try to keep away from buildings, trees and power lines and wait for the shaking to stop.
 * 5) Beware of landslides and unstable slopes when your on a mountain.
 * 6) Leave looking for your pets/animals until the shaking stops, you can get injured.
 * 7) Keep away from glass, windows, furniture that may be a hazard and lighting that may fall.
 * 8) <span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif;">Cover your head and face with pillows and blankets If you are in bed -stay there and wait for the shaking to stop. Move away from glass, windows or any other hazards and move quickly to the nearest safe place, (A corner, desk etc.
