How to look at weather disaster prevention and mitigation?

Earthquake disaster is one of the natural disasters that cause the most serious economic losses and casualties in the world. At present, earthquake prediction is still a worldwide problem. We should strengthen the study of earthquake science knowledge and help us master the correct methods of shock absorption and self-help and mutual rescue.

When an earthquake occurs, the indoor triangular space formed by the collapse of houses is often a relatively safe place for people to live. Especially in architecture, people choose kitchen, bathroom and other places where rooms are not big and easy to collapse, and corners or tables and other places where solid furniture is easy to form a triangular space for shock absorption. In places where there is no table to hide, protect your head with cushions and other things anyway. Never jump off a building and use the elevator blindly.

An old man who personally experienced the Haiyuan M8.5 earthquake in 1920 once introduced in detail the specific method of "lying down to be determined": "When you feel an earthquake indoors, you should quickly lie down on the edge of the kang, face down, head against the wall, arms crossed on your chest, right hand holding your left arm, right hand holding your right arm backwards, the concave part above your nose resting on your arm, and close your eyes and mouth.

In outdoor situations, you should avoid dangerous places such as tall buildings, protect your head, and quickly run to the open space to squat down. When the earth shakes violently and stands unsteadily, people will have the psychology of leaning over and grasping something. Most of the doorposts and walls around you will be the objects of support. However, these seemingly solid things are actually dangerous. Be sure not to get close to cement precast slab walls, doorposts, etc. In busy streets and buildings, the most dangerous thing is that things like glass windows and billboards fall and hurt people. Therefore, pay attention to protect your head with your hands or handbags.

In addition, outdoor people should try to stay away from high-voltage lines and toxic factories or facilities such as petrochemical, chemical and gas. In case of gas, toxic gas leakage and fire, cover your nose and mouth with a wet towel and crawl against the wind.

In places where there are many people in department stores and underground passages, the most terrible thing is chaos. Please follow the instructions of the store staff and security guards. As far as earthquakes are concerned, underground passages are relatively safe. Even if there is a power failure, the emergency light will light up immediately, so take action calmly.
