Why do earthquakes occur?
According to the structure, the earth is located on tectonic plates. Below the plates is the fluid on which the tectonic plates float. Many times these plates collide with each other and due to excessive pressure, these plates also start breaking. In such a situation, the energy generated below finds a way out and when it creates a disturbance, an earthquake occurs.
Things to do before, during, and after an earthquake:
Prepare for a probable earthquake by creating a family plan that includes how to contact each other and where to meet.
Locate the safest places in your house/workplace/school to take shelter in an earthquake, and identify evacuation routes.
Talk to your children about what to do if there is an earthquake, and especially, what to do if they are alone when one occurs.
Make sure you have sufficient emergency supplies, including clean water, non-perishable foods, prescription drugs, a first aid kit, batteries, a radio, and food for pets. Keep important documents such as passports or identity documents with you.
Keep emergency telephone numbers close at hand (civil defense, ambulance, hospitals, fire department, police, etc.
If there is a pregnant woman in the family, prepare a pregnancy kit with medical documents, medicines, and other things that might be necessary if she is hospitalized for delivery or any complication.
