13．Because earthquakes happen without warning，it's important to take steps now to prepare．Because you don't know where you will be when an earthquake happens，prepare some supplies for your home，workplace，and car．
1．Water．
A person needs at least 1/2 gallon of water daily just for drinking．Store at least1gallon of water per person per day and be prepared for a 72-hour period．It's suggested that you buy bottled water．Keep bottled water in its original container and do not open it until you need to use it．Also，do check the"use by"date．
2．Food．
It's always a practical idea to keep a supply of non-perishable（不易腐烂的） food on hand．Have an enough supply of canned food，dried milk，dried fruits，non-salted nuts and canned juices for at least 72hours．
3．Flashlights and spare batteries．
Keep a flashlight beside your bed，at your place of work，and in your car．Do not use matches or candles after an earthquake until you are sure that no gas leaks．
Prepare a battery-powered radio and spare batteries．Most telephones will be out of order，so radios will be your best source of information．

11．Besides calling 120，here is what you should do when no one is around to help．

	If you get lost，you may stay where you can be seen clearly and try your best to have a rest．In a wide open area，make a colorful cross out of rocks to show where you stay．
	When you choke （噎住） at home，make a sudden hit against the back of the chair．If you can't breathe after six tries，call 120．Leave the teleph one open until help arrives．
	If you get hurt，use your hand or a scarf，or any dry cloth you can find，and push down on the wound（伤口） until the blood stops running．Don't put the cloth around your leg tightly，or you may lose your foot．
	When a fire happens，you must move close to the floor．Cover your mouth and nose with a wet towel （毛巾），make you wet from head to foot if possible and find a safe place outside．
