Staying safe during an earthquake
On the morning of April 3, 2024, a 7.3-magnitude earthquake hit the sea area near Hualien, Taiwan. As of April 8, the quake had killed 13 people and injured more than 1,140. There had been more than 20 aftershocks(余震) of magnitude 5 or above in Hualien, as of April 10.
What to do during an earthquake
Inside: Don't stand in a doorway. You are safer under a table. Remember these three actions: drop, cover, and hold on.
Outside: Move away from buildings, trees, and gas lines.
In a crowded place: Drop down onto your knees, cover your head and neck, and hold onto something stable.
In a stadium or theatre: Stay in your seat. Protect your head and neck with your arms or any way possible.
Earthquake warning
People may get warnings of an earthquake before it arrives. How does this work? There are many seismometers(测震仪) in different areas. When the earth starts shaking, the machines quickly tell how strong the quake is and then send a warning before the earthquake waves(波) arrive in other areas farther away.
