Scientists use something called the Richter scale to measure how strong an earthquake is. A two is so tiny you might not even notice it – it’s like a truck driving by. A five might shake things off shelves and crack some walls. A seven? That’s a big one! It can damage buildings and roads. An important thing to note about this scale is that each number is ten times stronger than the one before it. So a magnitude four isn’t just a little bigger than a three – it’s ten times stronger, and a magnitude 7 is approximately 1,000 times stronger than magnitude 4! The best time to get ready for an earthquake is before it actually happens. By preparing now, we can stay calm and know exactly what to do when the ground starts to shake.

“(As soon as) you feel the tremors of an earthquake, drop, cover, and hold on. Drop right where you are onto your hands and knees. This is a safe position that allows you to slowly move towards shelter. Use one arm to cover your head and neck. A massive desk or table makes a good shelter. If there’s nothing in the room to hide under, at least stay away from the windows. Remain in this position and bend over as much as you can to protect your vital organs. Hold on like this until the shaking stops. If you are on the upper floors of a high-rise building, when a quake occurs, absolutely do not use the elevators under any circumstances.”

If you’re outdoors, stay in open areas until there is no more shaking. Stay away from buildings, trees, and anything that might fall. Be extra careful on hills or slopes – earthquakes can cause landslides, where dirt and rocks slide downhill. Stay out of damaged buildings and be careful of broken glass. Wear sturdy shoes to protect your feet. If you’re near the beach, move to higher ground in case of big waves. At school or work? Follow your teacher’s or experienced people’s instructions. Remember, there might be more minor quakes called aftershocks, so stay alert and ready to protect yourself again if needed!

Let’s wrap up with some super important tips to remember: 1. Be prepared! Create an emergency kit with your family. Include water, vegan snacks, a first aid kit, and flashlights. It’s like packing for a camping trip! 2. Know your escape routes. Where are the safe meeting spots in your neighborhood? 3. Stay tuned to emergency broadcasts and listen to what grown-ups and authorities tell you to do. 4. Lastly, remember this: You are brave, you are smart, and you can handle this! Reassure yourself in important moments: “I am prepared, I am safe, I can do this!” Remember, being prepared for earthquakes isn’t about being scared all the time. By learning and practicing these safety tips, you’re not just protecting yourself but also helping others!
