Answer 4

I think you mean "reactionary" if it's during an earthquake. In general, stay away from anything unstable, and if you're near anything likely to fall down then seek shelter under something strong.

1. go under the table
2. go to the saftey place
3. go at the exit

A person should make sure they have emergency water and food to last them at least 3 days. They should secure items (picture frames, lamps, TVs) in their house so that they won't fall in an earthquake. Also if a person has any pets they should have extra food for them as well. The person should create a plan of what to do during an earthquake for areas that they are in often (their home, workplace, etc.).

After an earthquake a person should remain calm and not panic. If they are stuck under debris they should try not to stir up dust and should cover their mouth with a handkerchief. They should use a pipe or metal piece to create banging to be heard by rescuers and as a last resort they should yell. If the earthquake is minor or you aren't stuck under debris, generally people are evacuated outside of a building. If a person is in a car then they should pull over.

Avoid power lines, telephone lines, mirrors, buildings and trees if a person is outside.

What to do before the earthquake:

• Be cautious and ready to face dangers that comes your way.
• Attend earthquake drills. To help you get to know about earthquakes more, try to read books or magazines that discuss about earthquakes.
• Be prepared for first aid kits. It is also important to be prepared with flashlights, some batteries, knife, plies, hammer or other important tools. Put these things in a box and put it in a convenient place where you can grab it if earthquake occurs.

What to do during the earthquake:

• Do not panic. If there are kids, gather them together and stay with them.
• Seek cover
• If you are outdoors, stay away from tall buildings and walls.
• Avoid staying near electric posts.
• Lay down
• Use flashlights instead of open flames
• Ran outside the house if you have time.

What to do after the earthquake:

• Check every member of the family.
• Do not go inside your house immediately because there are often aftershocks.
• Check for damages inside the house.
• Shut off the main switch of the electricity.
• Stay away from damaged buildings.
• Seek help if there are problems.

Earthquake: Have anything movable secured at all times whenever possible.

Volcano: Get out of the house and away from the volcano, preferably upwind of it.
