Did Japan have an Earthquake plan? mariah and kaitlyn

It is prudent that everyone be prepared to fend for themselves in the immediate aftermath of a big earthquake. Every family and company should develop its own emergency plan and make sure its personnel and their family members are familiar with earthquake emergency procedures and precautions for their safety.

It is best to take cover when you are in a building under a table or a doorway and away from glass. You should get down in a crouch position on you knees holding any legs of a table if there is one and resting your head on your knees and burying your head between you arms. If you can not get away from glass then you need to turn away from it to minimise any injury. Again alarm there is an earthquake. If you are in immediate danger of any building or other hazards from falling on you remove yourself to somewhere safer preferably in an open space with no immediate danger. Stay down until the shaking stops and it is clear to resume to a safer area.If the decision is made to evacuate a building it is important to move to a safer assembly area where there low risk levels such as an open field area. Make sure you choose the safest route possible when evacuating. Identifying hazards such as power lines, falling debris and other hazards is important to helping you keep safe.
