We should first inform people nearby about it and evaluate them to safe places. We should try to stay calm and move to safe places as soon as possible. After the wildfire, we should provide survivors shelters to rest and medicine help for the injured.

Sample 2 作者编号：33003 It has been more than ten years since the earthquake happened, but we’ll never forget its disastrous damage and sorrow and sadness. There is no way to prevent earthquakes. But if we prepare, we can keep them from becoming disasters. If you find yourself in danger from an earthquake, first of all, remember to “drop, cover, and hold on”. Drop down onto your hands and knees, cover your head with your hands, and stay away from glass, windows, or anything that could fall. You could find cover under a desk or table. Hold on to the desk or table so it doesn’t move away from you. Second, if you are outside when quakes happen, you should go to an open space away from buildings, trees, or power lines. If you are trapped, you can use a cell phone to call or text for help. You can also tap on a pipe or a wall, or whistle for help. Then you are more likely to be found. Do get your family and friends to be familiar with the self-help knowledge. 作者编号：33003 Read the sentences about the formation and effects of tsunamis.
