RISK
EARTHQUAKE
the
earthquake…!
Earthquakes, also known as tremors, are sudden
vibrations or oscillations, rapid and more or less
powerful, of the earth's crust, caused by the
unexpected movement of the rock mass in subsoil.
This displacement is generated by tectonics force that
cause the release of energy in an internal point of the
Earth said hypocenter; starting from the fracture a
series of elastic waves, known as "seismic waves",
propagate in all directions from the hypocenter, giving
rise to phenomenon observed in the surface!
HOW TO
BEHAVE!
I don’t have to rush out, but mostly it
is better to put me away from
windows and doors with glass that
could fall and hurt me!
It is better to take shelter under the lintel of a
door, near a bearing wall or under a table!
I don't use the
elevator because I
might get stuck in
there!
