What earthquake emergency knowledge do you need to learn when traveling to Sichuan?

It is necessary to travel to prevent earthquakes. From the 5.12 Wenchuan earthquake to the 8.8 Jiuzhaigou earthquake to the recent 6.18 Changning earthquake, it is an indisputable fact that earthquakes occur frequently in Sichuan, and it has also been confirmed by the scientific community. Sichuan is also a major tourist province, especially the 8.8 Jiuzhaigou earthquake, which was very painful for scenic spots and tourists.

Questions asked in this Q&A. a: What kind of earthquake emergency response knowledge you need to learn when traveling to Sichuan is a bit narrow. In fact, you should learn all necessary earthquake prevention and emergency response knowledge. The same goes for going to Sichuan and other places.

You should learn some earthquake prevention emergency knowledge when traveling anywhere.

First, relying on one's own perception and abnormal conditions in nature, special early warning phenomena will be discovered. Some of this knowledge is scientifically explained, and some is not, or even has no scientific basis. However, it’s better to prevent problems before they happen than not to prevent them at all. While traveling in the wild, I suddenly felt shaking on the ground without warning, abnormal shaking of buildings, inexplicable strange sounds, scary and bright lights, etc. In addition to these external perceptions, there are also inexplicable dizziness. These are precursors of earthquakes, but these precursors are extremely short-lived. If you find that these signs may be signs of an earthquake, quickly drive the vehicle away from bridges, tunnels, culverts, overpasses, etc. Drive to an open area; hikers should leave landslide and rockfall-prone areas as soon as possible, wait and see in an open area, and make sure it is safe before taking other actions.

2. The earthquake also happened at night. When traveling, staying, or eating indoors, if there is a warning from TV or other media, respond as soon as possible. Quickly leave indoors and dangerous areas and quickly run to open areas or other safe areas. There was a 61-second warning for the Changning earthquake in Sichuan. For an instantaneous earthquake, a 61-second warning is enough to allow people to quickly leave the danger area.

If there is an earthquake, squat or lie down quickly, lower your body, and squat on the floor, preferably under furniture with hard support, such as a desk, a sturdy cabinet, next to a pillar, etc. Can effectively support collapsed walls. You can also hide in places with dense load-bearing walls, such as toilets, bathrooms, kitchens and other load-bearing walls. Once a house or wall collapses, it is easy to form a support or triangular protection body to effectively protect yourself.

Third, use things that can protect the body for effective protection. It is mainly used to protect the head and neck. A more reasonable approach is to hold the head low with both hands and squat in front of the head. Curl your body as much as possible to reduce the stress surface, and support your head with pillows, quilts, and mats. If possible, you can stay close to a place with water in case of emergency.

After an earthquake, it is usually accompanied by smoke, toxic gas leaks, etc. Pay attention to protecting your mouth and nose. Use a wet towel to protect your mouth and nose to prevent inhalation of harmful gases, dust, smoke, etc.

4. After an earthquake, when contact with the outside world is lost, necessary and reasonable self-rescue must be carried out. Stay calm and rational, don't cry needlessly, keep a clear mind and quickly determine your position. It was clear whether it was a buried ruin or a brief loss of contact.

Hurry and help yourself. Such as bleeding, fracture, extrusion, etc. Once discovered, do what you can to help yourself, stop bleeding quickly, protect the injured area, etc. Find and stock up on drinking water promptly. If possible, rescue yourself in time and get out of the danger area quickly.

Give up unnecessary calls for help, maintain physical strength, and use your mobile phone to communicate with the outside world as much as possible. If you can avoid contact for the time being, make reasonable reservations to save energy. Don't make unnecessary calls, phone calls, etc. without any signal. Call immediately when external rescue signals are detected. Knock on metal objects or other objects that make sounds or cause vibrations to make effective contact with the outside world.

Make reasonable use of existing energy sources such as drinking water and food, make long-term preparations, and rationally arrange physical strength, drinking water, and food. Earthquake rescue is a difficult and technically demanding task. Some rescues take days or even longer. We should maintain confidence, perseverance and a strong desire to survive. We believe that the outside world must try to help ourselves. Persistence is your best chance of survival.

What issues need attention? When you live in a high-rise building, it is absolutely forbidden to jump off the building. In a super high-rise building, you don't need to take the elevator at the moment of an earthquake. There is not enough time to escape from the stairs. It will be safer to take shelter indoors. Buildings in the United States today have some earthquake resistance. It turns out that earthquake casualties are now often caused by the collapse of ordinary houses with substandard low-rise buildings, and that high-rise buildings rarely collapse. After the first wave of earthquakes weakens and stops, quickly leave the high-rise building to escape the damage of aftershocks.

Whether driving or walking, be sure to stay away from buildings, billboards, street lights, etc. Outdoors to prevent house collapse and falling objects. Especially today's architectural glass is easily broken and damaged in earthquakes.

In open areas, try to avoid crowds. But for a team or a family, they still need to get together as much as possible so that they can focus on action, help each other, and prevent the elderly and children from getting lost.

Whether you are in a scenic spot or on a street, you must follow the instructions of on-site rescue personnel and road traffic commanders, and evacuate in an orderly manner according to the designated route to ensure safety.
