When earthquake shaking begins, it is time for school students and staff to immediately apply what they have learned about what to do during an earthquake. Reacting promptly and safely reduces your chances of being injured.

Do not panic, keep calm.

Drop down; take cover under a desk or table and hold on.

Stay indoors until the shaking stops and you're sure it's safe to exit.

Stay away from bookcases or furniture that can fall on you.

Stay away from windows. In a high-rise building, expect the fire alarms and sprinklers to go off during a quake.

If you are in bed, hold on and stay there, protecting your head with a pillow.

If you are outdoors, find a clear spot away from buildings, trees, and power lines. Drop to the ground.

If you are in a car, slow down and drive to a clear place. Stay in the car until the shaking stops.

We should wait for a squatting under a strong breeze. (Cabinet etc.)

⇒ The glasses are fragile,so we should not stay close to the cama.

⇒ Do not step on the stairs, do not get scared or excited.

⇒ We must have a first-aid kit for an immediate accident or because there is always the possibility of stopping there.
