How to save yourself from an earthquake while camping in the wild?

2022-10-31

1. Find an open area to park. When you suddenly feel an earthquake while driving, you should immediately find an open area to stop, turn on the double flashing emergency lights, slow down and stop, and park the car in an open area as a temporary shelter.

2.Be carefully to avoid bridges and tunnels. Do not enter long bridges, tunnels, overpasses and other facilities during an earthquake. If you have entered, leave as soon as possible.

3.Pay attention to the safety of occupants in the vehicle. When an earthquake occurs, if the vehicle is still moving, the occupants in the vehicle should try to fix themselves as much as possible. Passengers sitting in the seat should fasten their seat belts, put their arms on the seat cushions of the front seats, and protect the body towards the aisle, and cover their heads with both hands.

4.If the road subsides or other dangers occur, the vehicle should be stopped in time, and the members of the vehicle should leave the vehicle immediately and seek refuge in a safe and open place nearby.

5.Precautions after the earthquake.

(1)Evacuate in public places, do not run around, trying to find an open space for evacuation.

(2)Try not to park near fences, walls, bungalows, and utility poles after an earthquake to prevent your car from being smashed.                                            

(3) Do not drive fast. In some places, the ground will sink. If your car has been trapped, you should leave the vehicle immediately and find a nearby safe place for temporary shelter. No matter how precious a car is, it is not as valuable as your life.


 

6.In the wild, generally grasp the principle of shock absorption in open areas.

Avoid the foot of the mountain and the steep cliff to prevent landslides, rolling stones, mudslides, etc.; avoid steep hillsides, cliffs and river slopes to prevent ground cracks, landslides, etc. When encountering landslides and landslides, run in the direction perpendicular to the rolling stones, must not run down the mountain in the direction of the rolling stone; when it is too late to run to the open area, you can hide under a solid obstacle nearby, or squat under the ditch or ridge, and don’t forget to protect your head.

7.When the earth shakes violently and stands unsteadily, people will have the mentality of leaning on and grasping something. Most of the doorposts and walls around you will become the objects of leaning. However, these seemingly solid things are actually dangerous.

In the 1987 submarine earthquake in Miyagi Prefecture, Japan, many people were killed and injured due to the collapse of prefabricated concrete walls and gate posts. Be sure not to take shelter near prefabricated concrete walls, door posts, etc.

In the bustling streets and building areas, the most dangerous thing is theglass windows, billboards and other objects fall and hurt people. Pay attention to protect your head with your hands or handbags.

8.Beware of secondary disasters such as landslides, rock falls, or tsunamis.

There is a danger of landslides and cliffs falling on hillsides and steeply sloping sections, so you should quickly evacuate to a safe place.

On the coast, there is a danger of a tsunami. If you sense an earthquake or a tsunami warning is issued, pay attention to information on the radio, television, etc., and evacuate to a safe place immediately.
