Answer the following question in one or two paragraphs:
What safety measures should be taken during an earthquake?
उत्तर
Safety measures during earthquakes :
If you are indoors during an earthquake, three steps – drop, cover, and hold-could save you from receiving severe injuries. If your building is shaking immediately drop to the ground and take cover under a bed or table. If you are outdoors during a tremor, the best strategy would be to move towards an open area – away from trees, buildings, electricity poles, transmission towers, etc. stay away from bridges and flyovers during an earthquake and even for a while after it has subsided.
