If you're outside a building

Run to an open space.Quickly move away from buildings,trees,overhead wires,or anything else that might fall on you.The larger the open space you can find,the safer you will be.People are rarely injured during an earthquake simply by the ground moving.

Drive towards an open space.If you are in a car,find an open space,such as a large parking lot,and stop the car.Do not stop on a bridge,beneath anoverpass,or beside tall buildings or trees.Stay in the car until the shaking stops.

If you're inside a building

Stop what you're doing. Even if you feel a very slighttremor,prioritizeyour safety until the all-clear is given.You may simply have felt a foreshock that precedes a much more powerful earthquake.

Drop to the ground.If the shock is more severe,get down.This will lower your center of gravity and reduce the chance of being hit by debris.

Take cover.Get under asturdytable or other piece of furniture for protection and hold onto it.If there is nothing suitable nearby,crouch down in a corner where two interior walls meet,well away from windows or other glass.Cover your head and face with your arms.Do not shelter in a doorway—if it doesn't have a load-bearing structure,it may collapse.

在籃球運動的開展當中，體育教師是負責運動訓練的組織和策劃的，但是在高校的競技體育運動開展中，很多體育教師的核心作用并沒有得到充分的發揮。在我國高校籃球隊的體育教師一般都畢業于專業的體育院校，也就是說從專業的體育理論知識上來說，他們是具備的，但是他們也缺少一些比賽的實際經驗，因此在開展相關的訓練時過于傾注于理論的傳授，所傳授的經驗，沒有辦法幫助運動員在球場上獲得更好的發揮。

Stay where you are.Do not move until the shaking stops,even if the lights go out.Most people who are injured are those who move about during an earthquake.

If you're trapped under debris

Cover your nose and mouth.Avoidinhalingpotentially harmful dust.Try to get your bearings and check yourself for injuries.

Get help.Listen for sounds of rescue and try to tap on something to alert rescuers.If possible,use your mobile phone to call someone or to generate intermittent music,beeps,or sound.Only shout as a last resort,as it is tiring and can result in inhaling more dust.

Warning:If you find yourself trapped,do not strike a match for light.Dust-filled air can be explosive and gas may have escaped from broken pipes.

Aftershocks

An earthquake is usually followed by a series of aftershocks.Their size and frequency is unpredictable,although generally,the bigger the main earthquake is,the greater the size of aftershocks is.Aftershocks are especially dangerous because they cause further collapse to already damaged buildings and infrastructure.Treat them seriously.
