Earthquake Safety Handbook-Investigation of Hidden Earthquake Hazards

You can search for hidden dangers that may occur in an earthquake by conducting a "seismic hazard investigation" at home. All you need to do is to tour your room, imagine what will happen in the room during an earthquake, and use your common sense to make predictions and identify hidden dangers. Some possible hidden problems:

Tall and heavy furniture that may collapse during an earthquake, such as a bookcase, a porcelain cabinet, or a custom combination cabinet.

Should be fixed on the wall

 A water heater that may be detached from the pipe and cracked.

 Items that may move and tear gas pipes or wires.

 Potted plants that hang in heavy places may fall off the hook.

 A heavy picture frame or mirror hanging on the bed may fall during an earthquake.

 When the cabinet or other cabinet shakes violently, the latch of the cabinet may loosen and open.

 Fragile or heavy objects placed on open storage racks at high places may fall and fall.

 The stone chimney may crush the unsupported roof and collapse.

 Flammable liquids, such as paints and cleaning agents, should be stored in garages or outdoor storage rooms (not indoors).

Please try to eliminate these hidden dangers one by one, properly place various heavy objects, and relocate the inappropriate heavy objects.
