Preparation of and earthquake is a system that produce all the preparations that people have. The purpose of and earthquake is to decrease deaths, injuries and destruction. Before an earthquake happens, you need to construct buildings or different structures resistent to earthquakes, check and have clear which are the most secure places and mark the evacuation route.

When an earthquake all ready happens, the procedure is to make certain and clear actions like make the triangle of life that consists in laying or sitting in the side of something really heavy that you think that will resist the earthquake or to be calmed and do the right thing like go to an open place and cover your head and your neck with your arms. If you are driving,stop and be aware of not being close to a bridge or a post that could fall on top of you. Never be near trees or buildings that can fall in top of you. The function consists to prepare the people of the CCb communty what to do before, during and after the earthquake.

When the earthquake has already happen, the procedure or the preparation works by some actions that should be done and are very important for our life and health. They are to check if there is any fire hazard and also try to turn of the electricity in the control box to be aware of not having another type of accident or emergency. Also If your phone is still working, use it for an emergency call so the lines are not busy in case that some else also need to make an emergency call. Avoid getting into cars because the streets or bridges could be all broken and also to keep the streets as clear as possible so that ambulances and emergency cars would not have any type of traffic. Always, take a look in your surroundings to look if their is any crack in the walls or a visible damage in the structure, so if you see one of this things, advice the corrrespondent people so they help you. Be very attentive with the radio news and hear if there is something new or anything that could help you or warn you.

Preparation for an earthquake is a system that works by the procedures and all the preparations that people have. It is a cycle that repeats everytime that an earthquake happens. It starts with the training that people receive to be prepared in case of an earthquake and also the constructions that are now created resistent to earthquakes. Apart from this, also the emergency kit that some people have is very useful because it is a way of being prepared in case of an earthquake or a type of help.

When earthquake is actually happening, the preparation works by making some certain and clear actions like to applicate the triangle of life that consists in laying or sitting in the side of something really heavy that you think that will resist the earthquake or to be calmed and do the right thing like go to an open place and cover your head and your neck with your arms. If you are driving,stop and be aware of not being close to a bridge or a post that could fall on top of you. Never be near trees or buildings that can fall in top of you.

Preparation of an earthquake is to advertis or train the people what to do in a case of an earthquake. Now we know what are the buildings that can resists a earthquake. The preparation consist to prepare the people what to do before, during and after a earthquake. The preapartion consist to teach the people what they cant do and the things that they can do like you cant start running and shouting you can do beside a heavy thing and do the triangle of the life, do beside the fraims of the doors etc.

The purpose of earthquake preparedness is to decrease the risks of death, injuries and destruction. The way we learn about this is when earthquakes happen. Every time there is an earthquake we are able to know more about how to prepare for them. We learn more about what types of structures survive, how we have to behave before, during and after. We have also learned how earthquakes in one place can affect all of us. Also advances in science help us to investigate and understand more about earthquakes so that preparedness is more efective.

DANIEL RIVERA GUZMAN 26/05/10 The preparation for an earthquake can be very late for achieve your results that will be dont die. But if you practise and in schools teachers start to tell children what to make in case of earthquake, they could explain other people. When the earthquake all ready pass you need to evacuate the building or the house that you are. Your building need to be sismo resistnce and need to have route of evacuation mark with some posters.
