地震來時你躲在哪裡? 地震

地震來時你躲在哪裡?
了解一下, 興許哪天用得著呢!

地震來時，你躲在哪裡？
也許你已讀過，再提醒你一次：地震來時，你躲在哪裡？如果你依照小時候老師教我們的方法乖乖躲在桌子底下，床舖底下，那麼，我必須告訴你，你的傷亡率，高達百分之九十八！！

那該怎麼辦？美國國際搜救隊長教你正確的躲避位置。

正確的地震保命法--轉載道格卡普是美國國際搜救隊長，自一九八五年至今，他及他的隊員己參與全世界七十九次重大災難的救災工作。

從小到大，在防震演習中，老師總是叫學生躲在課桌下，道格得知這點後，很焦急地一再呼籲：不要躲在桌子、床舖下，而是要以比桌、床高度為低的姿勢，躲在桌子床舖的旁邊。

他以先前和土耳其政府、大學合作拍製的地震逃生錄影帶，說明不要躲在桌下避震的道理。

透過土耳其政府協助，製作單位爆破一棟廢棄大樓，模擬地震時建築物倒塌的情形，工作人員先依據「常識」，在桌子床舖等家具旁，同樣放置十具模特兒，炸藥引爆後大樓變成斷坦殘壁。

他和搜救隊員依予找到二十具模特兒，在桌床下的十具模特兒，有八具被壓成全毀，其中一具甚至頭、身、腳斷成三截；他放置的十具模特兒，則全部安好無事，他解釋，建築物天花板因強震倒塌時，會將桌床等家具壓毀，人如果躲在其中，後果不堪設想。

如果人以低姿勢躲在家具旁，家具可以受倒塌物品的力道，讓一旁的人取得生存空間。

道格說，即使開車時遇到地震，也要趕快離開車子，很多地震時在停車場喪命的人，都是在車內被活活壓死，在兩車之間的人，卻毫髮未傷。

( 此段話引圖片說明 )：強烈地震發生時，如果你正在停車場，千萬不要留在車內，以免垮下來的天花板壓扁汽車，造成傷害；應該以臥姿躲在車旁，掉落的天花壓在車上，不致直接撞擊人身，可能形成一塊『生存空間』，增加存活機會…。

他很慎重地對在場的一百多位我國搜救隊員說，搜救隊員必要在地震中先能自己求得生存，只有活下來，才能拯救他人性命。他說，希望大家告訴大家，只要傳播這麼一點求生訊息，地震發生時，建築物內的傷亡率，可以由百分之九十，遽降為百分之二。請大家傳閱，增加大家在災難發生時的生存機率，減少傷害你關心你的朋友嗎？如果答案是肯定的。

hmm....the BC emergency website stated this:

During the earthquake

Preparations for an earthquake include knowing what to do while it is happening. By learning and practicing what you should try to do, you will be more able to remain calm enough to protect yourself and help others. Even if you have a plan for your home, you may be away. Know what to do, wherever you are. In summary, you should take cover and stay there.

-  If you're inside your home, stay there. Get out of the kitchen... safer places are inside halls, in corners, in archways. Take cover under a heavy table, desk or any solid furniture that you can get under and hold onto. Protect your head and face. Doors may slam on your fingers if you're in a doorway. Avoid areas near windows.

-  If you're in a yard outside your home, stay there and get clear of buildings and wires that could fall on you.

-  Don't go outside where you may be hit by falling debris... sidewalks next to tall buildings are particularly dangerous.

-  Avoid elevators... if you're in an elevator when an earthquake happens, hit all floor buttons and get out when you can. High rise residents will hear fire alarms go off and electricity may fail.

-  If you're in a vehicle, pull over to the side (leave the road clear), away from bridges, overpasses and buildings. Stay in your vehicle.

-  If you're in a crowded public place, take cover and watch that you don't get trampled. In shopping centres, take cover in the nearest store and keep away from windows, skylights and display shelves of heavy objects.

-  Remain in a protected place until the shaking stops. Anticipate aftershocks... they may occur soon after the first quake.

-  Try to remain calm and help others.

i think this argument is similar to...

don't fasten the seat-belt when riding in a vehicle, because if accident happens, the seat-belt will be the obstacle of getting out of the car.

u need to stay ** alive ** in order to get out of the car
seat belt prevents u from letheal injury like whiplash, head hitting windshield / steerign wheel, or worst, being thrown out of the car.

I think the situation in TW & Vancouver are not the same, in Vancouver, roads are open and houses are built with wood.

good point about the wood part
