How to prevent earthquakes at home

1. The indoor high cabinet is fixed to the wall to avoid hitting people or blocking the way to escape when falling down.

2. Don't put heavy objects on tall furniture to avoid hurting people.

3. The chandeliers, pendants and other items on the indoor roof should be fastened to prevent them from falling off during the earthquake.

The place where the earthquake started is called the source, and the ground directly above the source is called the epicenter. The strongest ground motion of a destructive earthquake is called the extreme earthquake zone, which is often the area where the epicenter is located. Earthquakes often cause serious casualties, which can cause fires, floods, toxic gas leakage, the spread of bacteria and radioactive substances, and may also cause secondary disasters such as tsunami, landslides, collapses and ground fissures.
