Here are the actions you need to take when an earthquake occurs.

1. Stay calm

When the earthquake occurs, try not to panic and stay calm!

Tarik a deep breath, then look around and choose a safe spot to take cover.

2. Inside the house

If you are in a hotel during an earthquake, try to save yourself and those around you.

A table is the best place to take shelter from falling objects due to an earthquake.

After that, protect the head with a soft object.

For example, a pillow, helmet, board, or the most practical thing you can use is to place both hands in a prone position.

3. Outside the room

If an earthquake occurs and you are outdoors, the first action to take is to move away from buildings and poles, then head to an open area.

Stay calm by taking deep breaths and don't do anything.

Because, usually after the first earthquake, aftershocks will occur.

4. In the crowd

Earthquakes can happen at any time.

If you were in a crowd at that time, panic usually occurs.

To avoid this, you can pay attention to the instructions of the rescue personnel and try to head directly to the emergency stairs to reach an open area.

5. In the mountains or highlands

If an earthquake occurs while you are on a mountain, move to an open area for shelter.

The left area near the slope is dangerous as it is certain to cause landslides and threaten lives.

6. Di laut

Underwater earthquakes can cause tsunamis.

If an earthquake occurs, move to higher ground.

7. Inside the vehicle

For those traveling when an earthquake occurs, hold on tightly so as not to fall.

Stop in an open space and stop there. (*)
