On 20 march, at 1718 hours, an earthquake of 3. 4 magnitude struck the city of deyang in sichuan city (31. 55° n and 103. 95° e), with a depth of 16 km, in which a number of local friends were in a state of panic, but it was not surprising that the earthquake was of such a small magnitude that no casualties were reported, no houses collapsed, and electricity and communications traffic were normal。
The area of the dragon gate earthquake is itself a more dynamic area of geology, with a third degree of micro-earthquake, which is a normal discharge of the earth's crust, like a small sneeze on the ground, and a slight shake on the part of local friends, with little shock in the remote chengdu metropolitan area and no need for excessive panic。
But the small earthquake is also a reminder that we live in earthquake-prone areas, and we can't forget it. It's the key to survival. If you feel shaking inside, don't run in a panic, look under a solid table, hide next to the heavy wall, guard your head, stay away from glass, chandeliers, things that are easy to lose, don't take the elevators. If you are outside, just get down and stay away from buildings, utility poles, billboards, which are the most dangerous places。
In addition, it is really necessary to have an emergency kit at home, with potable water, biscuits, first aid drugs, flashlights, where they can be picked up at the door, and to leave as soon as possible. In addition, more frequent visits are made to family escape routes and to know where the nearby emergency shelters are。
This little earthquake of bamboo also struck us with a wake-up call. The earthquake did nothing, learned a little bit more about shock avoidance, prepared a little bit more, and managed to take care of himself and his family when it happened。
