6.7 Magnitude Earthquake Shakes Banten

This must be done before, during, and after an earthquake.

Before:

– Ensure that the structure and location of your house can avoid the dangers caused by an earthquake, such as a landslide or liquefaction. Evaluate and renovate your building structure to avoid earthquake hazards.

– Get to know the environment in which you work: pay attention to the location of doors, elevators and emergency stairs. Also know where is the safest place to take shelter.

– Learn to do first aid and fire extinguishers.

– Write down important telephone numbers that can be contacted in the event of an earthquake.

– Arrange the furniture so that it is firmly attached to the wall to avoid falling, collapsing, shifting during an earthquake.

– Arrange heavy objects as far as possible on the bottom. Check the stability of hanging objects that can fall during an earthquake.

– Store flammable materials in a place that is not easily broken to avoid fire.

– Always turn off water, gas and electricity when not in use.

– Prepare the tools that must be in every place: First aid kit, flashlight/battery light, radio, food supplements and water.

When an Earthquake Occurs:

– If you are in a building: protect your body and head from the ruins of the building by hiding under a table, find the safest place from debris and shocks, run outside if you can.

– If you are outside a building or an open area: Avoid buildings that are around you such as buildings, power lines, trees. Pay attention to where you stand, avoid if there is a crack in the ground.

– If you are driving a car: get out, get off and away from the car avoid in case of shift or fire.

– If you live or are at the beach: stay away from the beach to avoid a tsunami hazard.

– If you live in a mountainous area: in case of an earthquake, avoid areas where landslides may occur.

After an Earthquake:

– If you are inside a building: exit the building in an orderly manner; do not use elevators or elevators, use ordinary stairs; check if anyone is injured, do first aid; call or ask for help in case of serious injury to you or those around you.

– Check your surroundings: in case of fire, in case of gas leakage, in case of electrical short circuit. Check the flow and water pipes, check if there are things that are dangerous.

– Do not enter buildings that have been hit by an earthquake, because there may still be rubble.

– Do not walk in the area around the earthquake, the possibility of aftershocks is still there.

– Listen to information about the earthquake from the radio (in case of aftershocks). Don’t be easily provoked by rumors or news that have no clear source.

– Fill out a questionnaire given by the relevant agency to find out how much damage has occurred.

– Don’t panic and don’t forget to always pray to God for the safety and security of all of us.
