The year 1906 was a determining factor in how future residents of
the San Francisco area would live their lives. Will they be able
to sleep peacefully at night knowing that anything can happen
between the time they slept and the time they will be awake. But
the question for most people is the possibility that they may
never wake up again.
The same goes for the people in Mexico, Baguio in the
Philippines, Indonesia, Japan and other countries that have been
victimized by strong earthquakes. Most of these people were
caught unaware and this made the disaster much more disastrous.
San Franciscans are aware that someday, their city will fall into
the depths of the ocean. But why do they continue to live in a
city, which though beautiful, is a catastrophe waiting to happen
again?
Most of the people living in earthquake-prone areas prefer to
live each day with the thought that they might never wake up
again. However, what makes them different from the majority of
the people living safe lives in safe places is the fact that they
are aware that a tragedy like an earthquake may strike them
anytime and they are prepared for it.
These people party and live life to the fullest but they make
sure they live in earthquake-safe buildings. Most of the high
rise establishments were constructed with a strong earthquake in
mind
Jason, a technology specialist lives in the Marina area which is
the most earthquake-prone area in the city. While he accepts
that he is taking a big risk living in that area, he takes no
chances and always stores several gallons of water nearby.
He has also prepared earthquake packs and emergency kits
containing first aid medicines as well as food packs that can be
eaten right out of the packet. He also has extra flashlights,
batteries and other thing-a-magigs guaranteed to make any normal
person flip out.
The most important thing to remember during an earthquake is to
duck and keep away from anything heavy that may fall on someone.
However, there are other earthquake emergency tips that will
benefit anyone who would be faced with an emergency earthquake
situation at any time in his life.
When faced with an earthquake circumstance, it is always better
to seek refuge from tables that can protect a person from heavy
objects that are falling from everywhere. When this is however
not practical, a person should immediately go out and proceed to
an open area without the danger of falling trees, high rises or
power cables.
Those who are caught driving when an earthquake occurs would be
better off if they stay inside their car. When inside a grocery
store or a mall, make sure that the person is away from heavy
shelves and other objects. When inside a theater or a sports
stadium and an earthquake occurs, never run for safety and join
the hundreds of people doing the same. Duck under the seat and
wait until everything clears up.
A lot of people get hurt or even die not because of the
earthquake itself but because of panic and failure to prepare for
such an emergency. It is always helpful to have an emergency
earthquake plan even if earthquakes are not common in the area.
Survival will always depend on how prepared a person is for
emergencies. People who have not prepared for the worse case
scenario are the ones who have the tendency to panic. And in
most cases, those who panic and lose their presence of mind
become the first victims of the disaster
