I would first tell everybody that are in buildings to put anything that is a flying hazard in a secure place like a low shelf. Then I would tell them to secure anything that is electronic like computers, microwaves, or TVs and wrap them with heavy straps because they are heavy objects. I would also tell them to secure things overhead like big hanging lights and other heavy hanging objects. And store any breakable items like glass, bottled foods, and low cabinets with secure latches. And if they have enough time, I would tell them to secure every big piece of furniture and nail them to the walls or put heavy objects on them. Then lastly, I would recommend the people to make a supplies kit before the earthquake stops and pack it with food, water, a …show more content…
Animals usually do very strange things when there is going to be an earthquake. And that is how some people predict when an earthquake is going to strike. There are researchers and scientists in China that are trying to figure out how unusual animal behavior can be used to predict earthquakes. They have no doubt that animals can predict earthquakes because they have seen all kinds of evidence from animals all over China. The Chinese scientists have made surveys for strange animal behavior before an earthquake. They sent the survey through 48 counties and 400 communes after the 1976 earthquake. They got a huge response from interviews and local people. The scientists had over 2,000 cases of unusual animal behavior previous to an earthquake. They also got a report of 58 different types of animals that reacted before the earthquake. This method became very successful, and Chinese scientists are trying to duplicate the organs in the animals that are able to sense the earthquake. They are currently working on this. The scientists find it very difficult to understand the sensory organ in the animal. So this method will take a couple of more years to
