Emergency preparedness tips: earthquakes
Ano ang gagawin before, during and after an earthquake?

Ligtas ba ang pamilya kapag may malakas na lindol? Walang paraan para ma-predict ang paglindol, kaya kailangang siguraduhin na ang bahay ay matatag at ligtas para sa pamilya.

Suriin: Malapit ba kayo sa fault line? O maaari bang mag-landslide o mahagip ng tsunami ang inyong lugar?

Tiyakin na matibay ang pagkakagawa ng mga pader at poste ng bahay.

Ikabit sa pader ang mga mabibigat na furniture at gamit na maaaring bumagsak kapag lumilindol.

Alamin ang mga ligtas at hindi ligtas na lugar sa inyong bahay.

Ituro sa mga bata kung paano mag-Drop, Cover and Hold sa oras ng lindol.

Drop, Cover and Hold: ano ang mga dapat gawin kapag lumilindol?

Stay calm.

Pumunta agad sa pinakaligtas na lugar o spot sa bahay.

Ipakita sa mga bata ang dapat gawin para hindi sila matakot.

Huwag lumabas ng bahay habang lumilindol. Mag-Drop, Cover and Hold sa pinakaligtas na spot ng bahay hanggang tumigil ang pagyanig.

Lumayo sa mga salamin, bintana at mga bahay na maaaring bumagsak.

Kung nasa labas ng bahay, manatili sa lugar na kinalalagyan. Protektahan ang sarili mula sa mga debris o bagay na maaaring bumagsak sa paligid ninyo.


Pagkatapos ng lindol, stay calm at i-plano nang maigi ang ligtas na pag-evacuate ng pamilya.

Kapag ligtas nang lumabas, kunin ang emergency go-bag at mag-evacuate sa pinakamalapit na open area o evacuation area. Kung nasa loob ng building, iwasan ang paggamit ng elevator.

Umiwas sa mga tulay at matataas na gusali at structures na maaaring gumuho.

Maging alerto sa aftershocks, posibleng landslide at sunog.

Kung nakatira malapit sa dagat, makinig sa mga official tsunami warning o advisory ng barangay o LGU.

Kumustahin ang mga bata at pakinggan ang kanilang iniisip at nararamdaman pagkatapos ng lindol.
