What to Do in the Event of an Earthquake

正确答案： An earthquake is the result of a sudden release of energy in the Earth. /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. /If you"re inside a building 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. /An earthquake is usually followed by a series of aftershocks. /Their size and frequency is unpredictable /although generally the bigger the main earthquake /the greater the size and number of aftershocks. /Aftershocks are especially dangerous /because they cause further collapse to already damaged buildings and infrastructure. /Treat them seriously and act as you would for an earthquake.
