Tips from Doug Copp:
Doug Copp的提示:
1) Everyone who simply 〃ducks and covers〃 WHEN BUILDINGS COLLAPSE is crushed to death Every time; without exception。 People who get under objects; like desks or cars; are always crush。
当建筑物倒下时,每个只是简单地“蹲下和掩护”的人都被压死了,每次,毫无例外。而那些躲逃到物体,如桌子,或汽车下躲避的人也总是受到了些伤害。
2) Cats; dogs and babies all naturally often curl up in the fetal position。 You should too in an earthquake。 It is a natural safety/survival instinct。 You can survive in a smaller void。 Get next to an object; next to a sofa; next to a large bulky object that will press slightly but leave a void next to it。
猫,狗和小孩子在遇到危险的时候,会自然地蜷缩起身体。地震时,你也应该这么做。这是一种安全的本能。而且你在一个很小的空间里就可以做到。靠近一个物体,一个沙发,或一个大件,它仅受到了略微的挤压,但在靠着它旁边的地方留下了一个空间。
3) 3) Wooden buildings are the safest type of construction to be in during an earthquake。 The reason is simple: the wood is flexible and moves with the force of the earthquake。 If the wooden building does collapse; large survival voids are created。 Also; the wooden building has less concentrated; crushing weight。 Brick buildings will break into individual bricks。 Bricks will cause many injuries but less squashed bodies than concrete slabs。
在地震中,木质建筑物最牢固。木头具有弹性,并且与地震的力量一起移动。如果木质建筑物倒塌了,会留出很大的生存空间。而且,木质材料密度最小,重量最小。砖块材料则会破碎成一块块更小的砖。 砖块会造成人员受伤,但是,被砖块压伤的人远比被水泥压伤的人数则要少得多。
4) If you are in bed during the night and an earthquake occurs; simply roll off the bed。 A safe void will exist around the bed。
如果晚上生发了地震,而你正在床上。你只要简单地滚下床。在床的周围会形成一个安全的空间。
5) If an earthquake happens while you are watching television and you cannot easily escape by getting out the door or window; then lie down and curl up in the fetal position next to a sofa; or large chair。
如果地震发生了,而你正在看电视,不能迅速地从门或窗口逃离,那就在靠近沙发,或椅子的旁边躺下,然后蜷缩起来。
6) Everybody who gets under a doorway when buildings collapse is killed。 How? If you stand under a doorway and the door jam falls forward or backward you will be crushed by the ceiling above。 If the door jam falls sideways you will be cut in half by the doorway。 In either case; you will be killed!
当大楼倒塌时,很多人在门口死亡了。怎么回事?如果你站在门框下,当门框向前或向后倒下时,你会被头顶上的屋顶砸伤。如果门框向侧面倒下,你会被压在当中, 所以,不管怎么样,你都会受到致命伤害!
7) Never go to the stairs。 The stairs have a different 〃moment of frequency〃 (they swing separately from the main part of the building)。 The stairs and remainder of the building continuously bump into each other until structural failure of the stairs takes place。 The people who get on stairs before they fail are chopped up by the stair treads … horribly mutilated。 Even if the building doesn't collapse; stay away from the stairs。 The stairs are a likely part of the building to be damaged。 Even if the stairs are not collapsed by the earthquake; they may collapse later when overloaded by fleeing people。 They should always be checked for safety; even when the rest of the building is not damaged。
千万不要走楼梯,楼梯与建筑物摇晃的频率不同(他们和建筑物的主体部分分别晃动)。楼梯和大楼的结构物发生不断地碰撞,直到楼梯发生构造问题。人在楼梯上时,会被楼梯的台阶割断,这是很恐怖的毁伤!就算楼梯没有倒塌,也要远离楼梯。楼梯就像大楼的一样会被损坏。哪怕不是因为地震而倒,还会因为承受过多的人群而坍塌。所以,我们应该始终首先检查楼梯的安全,甚至建筑物的其他部分并没有被损坏。
8) Get Near the Outer Walls Of Buildings Or Outside Of Them If Possible。 It is much better to be near the outside of the building rather than the interior。 The farther inside you are from the outside perimeter of the building the greater the probability that your escape route will be blocked。
尽量靠近建筑物的外墙或离开建筑物。靠近墙的外侧远比内侧要好。你越靠近建筑物的中心,你的逃生路径被阻挡的可能性就越大。
9) People inside of their vehicles are crushed when the road above falls in an earthquake and crushes their vehicles; which is exactly what happened with the slabs between the decks of the Nimitz Freeway。 The victims of the San Francisco earthquake all stayed inside of their vehicles。 They were all killed。 They could have easily survived by getting out and sitting or lying next to their vehicles; says the author。 Everyone killed would have survived if they had been able to get out of their cars and sit or lie next to them。 All the crushed cars had voids 3 feet high next to them; except for the cars that had columns fall directly across them。
当发生地震时,在车内逃生的人会因路边坠落的物体砸伤,这正是 Nimitz Freeway的路上所发生的事情。San Francisco地震的无辜受害者都呆在车内。其实,他们可以简单地离开车辆,靠近车辆坐下,或躺在车边就可以了。所有被压垮的车辆旁边都有一个3 英尺高的空间,除非车辆是被物体垂直落下。
10) I discovered; while crawling inside of collapsed newspaper offices and other offices with a lot of paper; that paper does not pact。 Large voids are found surrounding stacks of paper。
我发现,在报社或办公室里堆有很多报纸的地方,通常会好些,因为报纸不受挤压。你在纸堆旁可找到一个比较大的空间。
