(Intern reporter Chen Chen-ya / transcribing interviews reported) Taiwan is located in the circum-Pacific seismic belt, seismic activity, how to take the right measures to protect themselves when an earthquake occurs, we all need to understand the issue. Yahoo Kimo News visited the former fire department Disaster Management Team Leader Lin Jinhong, let the experts tell you how to do is the best way to reduce the casualties.

"Hide" the most basic and most important

Time uncertain point earthquake, living in different environments, so the contingency measures are subject to adjust, but Lin Jinhong noted that "hide" is the first time the most important refuge action.

If the person next to a sturdy table, it is recommended taken refuge under the table, hold on legs; if there is no side table or sturdy covert, as soon as possible away from the refrigerator, cabinets and other large furniture may be overturned, and possible fragmentation glass doors and windows, basically recommends hiding in the corner, and preferably the external walls of the corner; if is just shake in their sleep, they do not run around in bed, with a pillow, quilt cover your own head and neck. Avoid the above process, should as far as possible the body twist, reduced to a minimum, reducing being displaced furniture, large objects or broken glass hit possible.

Do not rush and do not open the door stormed out

Over the past we had a lot of earthquake disaster prevention advocacy propaganda, when the earthquake opened the door, open the door to prevent deformation of the door and obstruct escape, but Lin Jinhong said that this is clearly not appropriate measures.

Because the door will cause distortion of the earthquake, the shaking degree must be very intense, and among the people trying to open the door, or even running for the door to escape the process, likely to stand still, falls, falling objects or being hit, but to make more highly exposed to hazardous environments themselves. Lin Jinhong said, just intuition outdoor fled on results, the process will not escape injury is the focus, has been unable to understand why advocacy open the door.

In addition to the indoor situation, living outside the earthquake as soon as possible pedestrians should avoid wires, poles, bridges and other objects may caving, depending on the surrounding environmental conditions to move to the open air asylum; and moving vehicles should pull over, staff in the car.

Lin Jinhong clearly points out, the heat transfer network "Golden Triangle" is a great fallacy, also several times in the face book page "Lin Jinhong Fire Zone" po text explanation, I hope the public not to believe; secondly he also believes that, top of the requirements of children after the earthquake evacuation bag is not reasonable disaster prevention advocacy.

Lin Jinhong pointed out that since the earthquake stopped shaking before evacuation, items already falling, why Zaiding the bag? And if the fear of aftershocks, the article continued falling injured people, are at the top of the bag with both hands aftershocks body does not lose balance and fall, then the bag on his head but also play a protective function do? "Really to be evacuated, the speed to be quick, it is not necessary superfluous top bag, is the sensible approach."
