Earthquake Prevention and Attention

First, the causes of earthquakes 

 Earthquake can be divided into natural and artificial earthquake earthquake. 

 ● artificial earthquakes, such as nuclear explosion. 

 ● natural earthquake is divided into: 

 Tectonic earthquakes. 

 Volcanic earthquakes. 

 The impact of the earthquake. (Such as the meteorite crashed) 

 ◎ most of the earthquake to plate movement caused by changes in the earth's crust (tectonic earthquakes) Up. 

 ◎ when the earthquake occurred, the Central Weather Bureau issued usually two different kinds of data: 

 ◎ scale is used to describe the size of the earthquake scale, the Department released its energy may be to a real number without units said. 

 ◎ David degrees, said the earthquake on the ground who felt the intensity of vibration, shock or objects due to the damage done to the extent. 

 ◎ scale we normally use to represent the size of M, for example, in January 17, 1995, the Japanese seismic scale of the Hanshin region up to seven on the second. 

 ◎ David degrees: in Taiwan Chun used standards is divided into the following seven steps:

0 (no feeling) seismograph recorded the human body without feeling. 

 1 (microseismicity) were static or earthquake may feel sensitive. 

 2 (Light earthquake) shaking the doors and windows, and most people can feel. 

 3 (weak shock) Housing shake, windows and doors creaking chattered, hanging objects swinging, turbulent water. 

 4 (in shock) Housing shake very split, unstable objects dumping, water containers are spill over eight. 

 5 (earthquake) cracking walls, arches dumping chimney. 

 6 (earthquake) Housing dumping, landslides, and crack, strata faulted. 

Second, how to prepare the pre-quake prevention measures 

 Prepare three copies of the drinking water, dry food and relief of necessity, focus on inclusion in the emergency bag, placed in the family known to facilitate access to the location. 

 Familiar with the neighborhood, where is the best shelter in advance a clear exit routes. Should be mutual agreement between the families after the earthquake occurred and how to contact the premises of the collection. 

 Schools, corporate groups, often held in public places asylum exercises, the establishment of self-defense organization, to play the spirit of self-rescue. 

 Buildings were any illegal stamping, or removal of walls, columns, beams, version, in order to avoid damage. 

 Heavier items will be placed low and to be fixed to reduce the use of chandeliers, ceiling fans. 

 Regular inspection of gas, cable lines, gas cylinder should be fixed, the whole family should be familiar with the per capita master switch the location and the closure method. 

 Third, how to do a good job when the earthquake contingency measures 

 Loud around to remind officers to protect its own security, headed by the Treasury, do not panic and out of buildings, away from windows, glass, chandeliers, furniture and a huge risk of falling objects, sought refuge at the spot. 

 Close readily use the power to prevent fires. 

 Doors open to refuge to avoid collapse, officials Doors clamping distortion. 

 In tall buildings, the floor on where to find shelter. 

 Do not use elevators, so as to avoid being trapped. 

 Do not pour into Anping door, exports to avoid a crowded staircase injury. 

 In order to cushion the protection of the head, to find solid shelters such as the solid under the table, a corner, under the support of good frames. 

 Close readily use the power and fire source. 

 Use scald struggle, toasters and other electrical appliances, to immediately unplug the plug. 

 Fourth, post-earthquake reconstruction measures in the aftermath of the recovery 

 I found the fire quickly extinguished or to prevent the fire from spreading. 

 If you smell a gas smell, do not use fire in order to avoid an explosion caused a fire. Ventilation should immediately open the doors and windows. But do not start the exhaust fan, due to electrical sparks could cause an explosion. 

 To avoid falling on the ground wire and wire objects encountered. To assist first-aid injury suspense, the spirit of mutual aid. 

 Do not use telephone chatting each other to reduce the traffic report reserved for the use of disaster relief. 

 Reports at any time to listen to the disaster. 

 Check the water and electricity, gas pipeline and, if damaged, immediately turn off the switch not to use temporary. 

 Check whether there are obvious cracks in housing. If the beams are damaged, not to stay indoors.
