Self rescue and mutual rescue during earthquakes are very important
Firstly, evaluate the environment and one's own state
Assessing one's physical condition is also important for escaping danger. What have I encountered? Am I injured? Assess whether you are injured, the severity of the injury, etc.
Such as whether there is bleeding, whether there is a fracture, etc. If bleeding occurs, especially jet like arterial bleeding, it is necessary to quickly stop bleeding and self rescue. Generally, finger pressure should be used quickly to stop bleeding, or elastic straps should be used to tie and press the upper part of the bleeding outlet for hemostasis.
Secondly, when buried
Correct Escape and Scientific Self Help
If buried in ruins during an earthquake, the most important thing for self rescue is to calm down, eliminate danger, and seek help. Try to protect yourself, eliminate danger in a timely manner, save life, firmly believe in survival, and wait for rescue.
When the arms or other parts are able to move, the pressure should be gradually removed and as much as possible released. When unable to escape danger, one should leave a certain space in the mouth and chest to ensure breathing.
During this process, it is necessary to find ways to transmit distress messages to the outside world, and to use simple tools at hand as much as possible, intermittently tapping nearby hard objects, issuing distress signals, and patiently waiting for rescue.
If buried under the ruins for a long time, rescue personnel do not arrive, or do not hear the call signal, one must find ways to maintain one's life. Water and food must be used sparingly, and food and drinking water should be sought as much as possible. If necessary, one's urine can also quench thirst.
Prevention
Understanding earthquake knowledge and establishing emergency plans
Earthquakes are an inevitable result of Earth's movement. Before an earthquake, it is best for residents to have some basic knowledge about the earthquake and establish a family earthquake emergency plan.
① In earthquake prone areas, residents can stock up on basic emergency food such as cookies and mineral water.
② Understand the distribution of potential hazards near home, so that in the event of an earthquake, it is easy to avoid them.
③ Actively participate in earthquake emergency drills and training organized by units or communities, and master the basic skills of self rescue and mutual rescue.
Residents in areas where earthquake forecasts have been issued must prepare their families for earthquake prevention, develop a family earthquake prevention plan, inspect and promptly eliminate any potential hazards in their homes that are not conducive to earthquake prevention.
Inspect and reinforce housing, reinforce buildings that are not conducive to earthquake resistance, and evacuate dangerous buildings that are not suitable for reinforcement. Clumsy house decorations, etc. should be dismantled. Reasonably place furniture and fix tall furniture to prevent tipping and hitting people. The sturdy furniture should be emptied underneath to prepare for hiding in case of an earthquake; Furniture and items should be placed with "heavy at the bottom and light at the top", and hanging objects on the wall should be removed to prevent falling and injuring people. Clean up the clutter and ensure that the entrance and hallway are unobstructed; The balcony parapet wall needs to be cleaned, removing flower pots and debris.
After escaping from danger, one should evacuate to emergency shelters designated by government organizations such as parks, green spaces, and venues, follow government arrangements, and receive disaster relief materials in an orderly manner. Units and individuals with their own conditions should actively assist the government in disaster relief.
