When the earth moves beneath our feet they say it is because Atlas shrugged.? The ground can open up and swallow the people. Earthquake is becoming frequent. Only a week or so back we had a bomb blast followed by earth quake. The govt has already proved it can't do anything to prevent terror attack and now the nature is keeping us reminding that we can't do anything to prevent earthquake. So why worry about something that we can't help.....
Never mind we all still love our life dearly ...so why not remain prepared in case earthquake comes knocking without ringing our door bells. I am sure NATURE will not let us down yet...we have lot to work on.. like winning our war against corruption, seeing Kassab swinging on the ropes and other blah blah. So here I go keying in what comes to my head without waiting to pause and hear my heart beats. Delhi just rocked.. .My desk top digital is showing its 6.15 PM and its a Sunday evening on the go...so start on ... with tips that can save us if we are willed to survive...
During the earthquake:
If you are indoors,stay there. Get under and hold on to a table or a desk. Stay clear of the exterior walls. Stand against an interior wall . Try to be away from glass and heavy furnitures
If you are in the office building stay away from windows and outside walls. Don't use the lift
If you are outside in the open stay clear of buildings and power lines & lamppost. Anything that can fall on you.
If you are driving move the car outside the traffic and stop. When driving watch out for caving roads.
If you are in a crowded place don't panic. Stay low and cover your head and neck with your hand and arms
After the earth quake:
Always have some food and water ready and a first aid kit handy. Be prepared to fend for yourself & the family members for a week at least, since govt help normally comes late.
Have portable fire extinguisher, dry batteries and torch handy.
Let all the members in the family carry the contact number of an 'out of the area' friend or relative to whom one can call & check the whereabouts in case one of you go missing.
I am signing off this post with this note..
In case any of us happen to be an atheist..this is just the right time to connect back to the creator..It can help us all to be back to business as usual. ..so B+....
