Notify people around, especially those working underground and on high noise construction sites.
People at home should turn off water, electricity, gas, power, lock doors and windows, and transfer flammable materials.
Then quickly enter the designated civil defense project or emergency evacuation site.
Citizens in public places are generally not suitable to go home immediately. They should take protective measures nearby or seek shelter in temporary evacuation areas.
Citizens who have not had time to enter civil air defense projects should be dispersed nearby and concealed in low walls, culverts, corners, and other places, using hard objects to protect important parts such as the head.
Avoid items such as glass windows, high bookshelves, and wardrobes indoors.
