Remind you again of the three rules of evacuation when an earthquake strikes:

​1. Drop your head and body down.

2. Cover: Use your hands or objects to protect your head and neck as much as possible, and hide under a sturdy table or other furniture.

3. Hold on your knees, touch your elbows to the ground, and hold the table legs with both hands.

How should you react when you receive a quick report of an earthquake? Don’t you need to hide if you don’t shake it too much? How to prevent disasters when living in an old house? Risk management is more important than disaster prevention? Disaster prevention expert Shan Xinyu pointed out that where you live is very different from the structure of your house. Earthquakes don’t kill people, houses kill people. In the event of an earthquake, cover up on the spot, hide under the table if you have it, or get down and find something to cover your head if you don’t!
