Before an earthquake       It's necessary to prepare yourself and your family．All family members should know how to turn off gas，water and electricity and know useful telephone numbers（doctor，hospital，police，119，etc．）．Never put heavy things over beds．

During an earthquake      It's important for each of you to stay calm（冷静）．If you are indoors，quickly move to a safe place in the room such as under a strong desk or a strong table．The purpose is to protect yourself from falling objects．Stay away from windows，large mirrors，heavy furniture and so on．If you are cooking，turn off the gas．

If you are outdoors，move to an open area like a playground．Move away from buildings，bridges and trees．If you are driving，stop the car as soon as possible，staying away from bridges and tall buildings．Stay in your car．

After an earthquake         Once the shaking has stopped，DO NOT run out of the building at once．It's better to wait and leave when it is safe．
