What to do and what not to do in case of an earthquake
1- If you are inside a building, sit on the floor and go under some strong furniture. If there is no table or such furniture, cover your face and head with your hands and sit crouching in a corner of the room.
2- If you are outside the building, move away from the building, trees, poles and wires.
3- If you are traveling in a vehicle, then stop the vehicle as soon as possible and remain sitting inside the vehicle.
4- If you are buried under a pile of debris, never light a match, neither move nor push anything.
5- In case you are buried under debris, tap lightly on any pipe or wall, so that the rescue workers can understand your situation. If you have a whistle, blow it.
6- Make noise only when there is no other option. Making noise can suffocate your breath with dust and dirt.
7- Always keep a disaster relief kit ready in your home.
