Earthquake tips.
I?d like to prepare you for such a terrible disaster as an earthquake. Around the globe people have learnt to estimate the devastating power of any earthquakes by special points. Let?s look closer at them.

For example you are facing an earthquake with the power of 4 points. In this case the earthquake is felt by many people inside the building, but under the open sky only a few people could perceive this. Here and there, sleeping people awake, but no one is frightened. The matter is that vibrations resemble that shaking, caused by a truck passing by. Windows are shaking, doors and cookware can behave the same. There?s a scaring sound of creaking. Perhaps they are walls. Your furniture also undergoes violent shaking. Hanging objects can?t stand still. The same can be applied to liquids in different vessels.

If you face an earthquake of 7 points them you can notice that some buildings are damaged, most people are frightened and run out of that space. As for numerous brick and large – panel houses small cracks can be noticed on the walls. Landslides and cracks on the roads are quite possible I should say. There?s a violation of joints of pipelines as well as cracks in the stone walls. On the surface of the water waves are formed.

Then 11 points come. To cut a long story short it?s a complete catastrophe. In this case a serious damage of buildings can be noticed. Even good buildings which seem to be quite formidable can be ruined. It goes without saying that bridges, dams and railways have been heavily damaged. Highways aren?t in a good condition certainly. You can also notice the destruction of underground pipelines. Here you can see a large deformation of soil in the form of large cracks, gaps and displacements in the vertical and horizontal directions. Numerous rocks can fall occasionally everywhere. It goes without saying that 12 points are going to be next, I mean higher and more terrible. But in this case there is even nothing to tell.

If the earthquake have caught you on the road, immediately stop the car preferably in the public place and do not come out until the end of aftershocks. The bus driver must open the door. But the passengers should securely log into their seats. In the subway passengers can be exposed to a real panic. Be prepared that the light can be turned off. However, I should confess that in the subway it?s much safer than on the ground surface during the earthquake.

If you are in the rubble, remember that it is primarily important not to expend energy to panic. Without food and water you can survive for a long period of time. The main thing is that you shouldn?t loose your courage and hope.

Are you aware that food storage can save you from lots of troubles during different emergency situations. Read more about food storage on this food storage website.
