Earthquakes

An earthquake is a sudden ground motion or a series of it,


originating in a limited region inside the earth and spreading
from this point in all directions.
When an earthquake occurs while you are in school or
any other building remember the following safety
measures:
In most situations, you can protect yourself if you immediately:
DROP down onto your hands and knees before the earthquake knocks you down. This position protects you from falling
but allows you to still move if necessary.
COVER your head and neck (and your entire body if possible) underneath a sturdy table or desk. If there is no shelter
nearby, get down near an interior wall or next to low-lying furniture that won’t fall on you, and cover your head and
neck with your arms and hands.
HOLD ON to your shelter (or to your head and neck) until the shaking stops. Be prepared to move with your shelter if
the shaking shifts it around.
If you are inside, stay inside.
DO NOT run outside or to other rooms during an earthquake. You are less likely to be injured if you stay where you are.
To reduce your chances of being hurt, take the following actions:
If possible, within the few seconds before shaking intensifies, quickly move away from glass, hanging objects,
bookcases, china cabinets, or other large furniture that could fall. Watch for falling objects, such as bricks from
fireplaces and chimneys, light fixtures, wall hangings, high shelves, and cabinets with doors that could swing open.
If available nearby, grab something to shield your head and face from falling debris and broken glass.
If you are in the kitchen, quickly turn off the stove and take cover at the first sign of shaking.
If you are in bed, hold on and stay there, protecting your head with a pillow. You are less likely to be injured staying
where you are. Broken glass on the floor can cause injuries if you walk or roll onto the floor.
If you are in a high-rise building, drop, cover, and hold on.
Move away from windows and outside walls.
Stay in the building.
DO NOT use the elevators. The electricity may go out, and the sprinkler systems may come on.
If you are trapped, stay calm. Try to get someone’s attention by tapping on hard or metal parts of the structure. Doing so
may increase your chances of being rescued.
If you are inside a crowded place, drop, cover, and hold on.
Do not rush for the doorways. Others will have the same idea.
Move away from display shelves containing objects that may fall.
If you can, take cover and grab something to shield your head and face from falling debris and glas
If you are in a moving vehicle, stop as quickly and safely as possible.
Move your car to the shoulder or curb, away from utility poles, overhead wires, and under- or overpasses.
Stay in the car and set the parking brake. A car may jiggle violently on its springs, but it is a good place to stay until the
shaking stops.
Turn on the radio for emergency broadcast information.
If a power line falls on the car, stay inside until a trained person removes the wire.
When it is safe to begin driving again, watch for hazards created by the earthquake, such as breaks in the pavement,
downed utility poles and wires, rising water levels, fallen overpasses, or collapsed bridges.
If you cannot drop to the ground, try to sit or remain seated so you are not knocked down.
If you are in a wheelchair, lock your wheels. Remove any items that are not securely attached to the wheelchair.
Protect your head and neck with a large book, a pillow, or your arms. The goal is to prevent injuries from falling down or
from objects that might fall or be thrown at you.
If you are able, seek shelter under a sturdy table or desk. Stay away from outer walls, windows, fireplaces, and hanging
objects.
If you are unable to move from a bed or chair, protect yourself from falling objects by covering up with blankets and
pillows.
If you are outside, go to an open area away from trees, telephone poles, and buildings, and stay there.

ABOUT THE PROJECT

Mercury is the closest planet to the Sun


and the smallest one in the Solar System—
it’s only a bit larger than the Moon. The
planet’s name has nothing to do with the
liquid metal, since it was named after the
Roman messenger god
