Disaster Management (Updated) — Social Science STD 9 — Question

These should not be done during an earthquake:
→ Do not get panicky during an earthquake. Do not shout or run.
→ Do not attempt to hold the things which are falling down.
→ Do not use elevator to come down from multi-storeyed buildings.
→ Do not stand near wooden cupboards, safes, near a mirror or under a glass chandelier.
→ Do not keep the electricity or gas connections switched on. Gas leakage can cause blasts.
→ Give a phone call to authorities only in the case of medical emergency or fire. Phone calls should not be made for other reasons because the rescue work is hampered when the telephone network is disturbed.
→ Do not get swayed away by false beliefs and rumours.
