23. Earthquake Survival Tips P140

Would you know what to do during a really big earthquake? Experts have looked into the matter carefully. It
may be worth your while to look over the following tips they have for us.
If the ground begins shaking while you are driving, pull over and stay in your car. If you are in a building,
try to get near a strong wall. The corner of a room or the space under a big doorway is the safest. As soon
as the quake is over, check the gas pipe in the building. Gas fires often result from earthquakes. These tips
may prove to be lifesavers. We should, therefore, keep them in mind. Remember to always hope for the best but
prepare for the worst.
