Have you ever felt the earth move? How can you keep safe during an earthquake?

All earthquakes send out waves (波). An earthquake can be so small that it can’t be felt while a stronger earthquake sends out bigger waves and can be felt for hundreds of miles. Strong earthquakes can harm people and animals. They can make everything in a mess. Once an earthquake starts, it may be too late to escape it. But there are steps you can take to stay safe. When you stay inside, remember to drop, cover, and hold. First, drop to the floor. Second, cover yourself with your arms under strong furniture (家具). Third, hold on to something strong. Stay away from windows or things that could fall. Stay calm and help others do the same. When you stay outside, you should get away from buildings, electrical lines, and other things that can fall and find an open place to stay.

After an earthquake, have an adult turn off the gas and water. Pipes crack (管道破裂) and let out harmful gases. Broken pipes can also make water unsafe to drink.
