If you're going to go on a trip

The State fire and Rescue Service, taking into account foreign experience, has prepared information regarding action in the event of a possible earthquake. The earthquake lasts a short time, so it's important to get to know in advance the recommendations for what to do in the event of an earthquake. But citizens should be mindful that if there is a potential earthquake threat, official state services will warn, there should be no excitement in trusting the guesses of clairvoyants and forecasters.

To prepare for a possible earthquake:

• Discuss with family members what to do in the event of an earthquake, including actions to be taken, safe spaces in the dwelling, such as under a stable table, doorways, and places to avoid, such as near windows, mirrors, etc.
• Prepare basic necessities - batteries, battery-powered radios, blankets, a first aid kit, provide supplies of drinking water, groceries and medications for about two weeks, tools needed to unlock gas, water and electricity.
• Prepare your home for an earthquake: place heavier items on lower shelves and place cracking objects in a closet with lockable doors. Do not hang on a wall where people often stay or sleep, heavy mirrors and paintings.
• Attach heavy items such as a water heater, fridge, bookcase.
• Place flammable items further away from a potential flash point such as a water heater, oven, etc.
• Know where the water, gas, and electricity are cut off, learn how to unlock them, and where the tools you need to unlock stand.

During the earthquake:

• If you're indoors, then stay there. Move quickly to a safer place in the room, such as under an array table, at the inside wall or in the doorway. The purpose of such movement is to protect oneself from falling objects. Avoid being in corners placed at windows, large mirrors, items that hang, heavy furniture, fireplaces and stoves.
• If you're going to eat, then unlock the stove and hide.
• If you are outside, move to an open area where falling objects could not touch you. Move away from buildings, power lines and trees.
• Under no circumstances should attempts be made to exit the building during the earthquake, as falling parts of the building in the stairwell or the wounding staircase can be injured or killed. It is only at the very beginning of the earthquake that those close to the outside exit door should get out of the building as soon as possible and shelter in as much clearing as possible.
• If you're in a place where there's a lot of people, avoid panic and don't rush to the exit. Squat down and cover your head and neck with your hands and hands.
• If you're driving in a car, slow down and stop on the side of the street. Avoid stopping on and under bridges and road gears, under power lines, trees and large signs. Stay in the car!

After the earthquake:

• Check for injuries, look after them. Help the people around you. If you need help from rescuers or paramedics, call 112.
• Check the damage. If the building has serious damage, leave it immediately.
• If you sense the smell of gas, get all the people out of the house and open the doors and windows. Unlock the gas supply if possible without compromising yourself. Inform about the fault emergency service on 112. Do not use electrical devices or open flames until damage is repaired.
• If the power is switched off, disconnect the electrical devices from the sockets to avoid possible damage when the power supply is restored. If you see outbreaks, burning wires or the smell of burning, unplug the power if possible, call firefighters on 112 and leave the building immediately.
• Turn on the radio where important information and instructions about how to proceed will be communicated.
• If you leave your home, leave information to friends and loved ones about where you have gone.

• When smoke is sensed in the wagon, notify the driver immediately via the internal communication system. Follow his instructions below.
• If the carriage is smoked, breathe through a handkerchief, sleeve or some piece of fabric.
• Try to prevent panic by all means possible. While the train is in the tunnel, stay in place.
• If there is an open fire in the wagon, try extinguishing it with a fire extinguisher. The fire extinguisher shall be located in each wagon, the location of which shall be indicated by an indication sign.
• The wagon with the stopcock should not be stopped in the tunnel, it makes evacuation very difficult. If the train has stopped in the tunnel, the wagon may only be left on licence of the drivers. Until the voltage is switched off, try not to touch the metallic parts of the wagon, they may be under voltage.
• Once the driver's licence has been obtained, leave the wagon. If it is not possible to open the door, knock out the window and abandon the carriage.
• Move along the tracks to the nearest subway station, trying not to touch the splints of electric wires adjacent to the tracks. Be very careful. The possibility of a moving train appearing at a crossroads has not been ruled out. In this case, it is necessary to penetrate one of the tunnel slots.

• After the fire announcement, pick up the lifejacket, which is usually stored in the cabin, and head to the deck by the lifeboats.
• If the corridor is heavily smoked or burning with an open flame and leaving the cabin is impossible, close the door tightly and try to get out through the porthole. If this is not possible, wrap yourself in a damp blanket or towel, hold your breath and try running through fire and smoke.
• If there are no lifeboats and you cannot assess the situation, jump overboard and swim away from the ship. Get rid of your shoes and heavy clothing, leave your lightweight clothing, it will help keep you warm.
• Grab around any floating item, tie yourself to it in case you lose consciousness.
• Give a signal that you need help.

• Listen and follow the orders of the crew members.
• Cover the exposed areas of your body with clothing or a pleat to protect against burns.
• To protect yourself from smoke, go leaning in or crawl in the direction of the nearest exit. Once the plane has landed and stopped, leave it immediately.
• If the centre passage of the aeroplane's interior is crammed and cannot be used, tilt the seatbacks and climb over the seats.
• Don't stand in the crowd at the exit if the queue isn't moving forward. . Remember, the plane has multiple exits.
• Do not open hatches in areas with fire and smoke outside.
• Don't take your hand luggage with you, it can cost you your life.
• Try to prevent panic in the cabin of the plane by all means possible.
• Once you get out of the plane, try to get as far away from it as possible. If this is not possible, lie down on the runway facing the ground and grasp your head and ears with your hands, this will protect you in the event of a potential explosion.

Above all, when flying, try not to be the culprit of the fire itself.
