[ Tokyo is drifting]

Salam n evening, dalam masa aku khusyuk studi td, bg menghilangkan sikit stress kat kepala nih aku layan ar chatting dgn member2 skype yg dh brapa bulan aku x aktif nih, tetiba aku dikejutkan dengan khabar buruk oleh member aku di Jepun. Bencana Gempa bumi telah berlaku dengan Magnitud 8.9, kuat tuuu!!! worsen part is my friend plak duk in the middle of Tokyo, melambung2 la dia kot? ish2..., dalam masa aku menulis blog nih, aku dikejutkan lagi apabila member aku britau dia mengalami gegaran susulan pula, ya Allah, minta2 la keadaan kembali pulih seperti sediakala...

Seperti yang kita tau, Jepun merupakan negara yang dilingkungi kawasan gunung berapi yang banyak, so x hairanlah sekiranya gegaran sentiasa berlaku di negara nih... Tp gegaran yang dialami harini merupakan gegaran yang paling teruk sepanjang 140 TAHUN gempa bumi di Jepun, Gegaran ini telah menyebabkan Tsunami di utara Jepun dan mengikut Agensi Pengurusan Kebaran dan Bencana Alam, sekurang2nya 29 orang telah terbunuh akibat bencana ini.

Di Malaysia, alhamdulillah, x pernah berlaku lagi bencana seperti ini tetapi x tau la apa yg akan terjadi akan datang lak. Oleh itu disini aku ingin memberikan sedikit informasi langkah-langkah yang sepatutnya diambil semasa berlakunya gempa bumi:

If indoors

• DROP to the ground; take COVER by getting under a sturdy table or other piece of furniture; and   
• HOLD ON until the shaking stops. If there isn’t a table or desk near you, cover your face and head with your arms and crouch in an inside corner of the building.
• Stay away from glass, windows, outside doors and walls, and anything that could fall, such as lighting fixtures or furniture.
• Stay in bed if you are there when the earthquake strikes. Hold on and protect your head with a pillow, unless you are under a heavy light fixture that could fall. In that case, move to the nearest safe place.
• Use a doorway for shelter only if it is in close proximity to you and if you know it is a strongly supported, loadbearing doorway.
• Stay inside until the shaking stops and it is safe to go outside. Research has shown that most injuries occur when people inside buildings attempt to move to a different location inside the building or try to leave.
• Be aware that the electricity may go out or the sprinkler systems or fire alarms may turn on.
• DO NOT use the elevators.

If outdoors

 

• Stay there.
• Move away from buildings, streetlights, and utility wires.
• Once in the open, stay there until the shaking stops. The greatest danger exists directly outside buildings, at exits and alongside exterior walls. Many of the 120 fatalities from the 1933 Long Beach earthquake occurred when people ran outside of buildings only to be killed by falling debris from collapsing walls. Ground movement during an earthquake is seldom the direct cause of death or injury. Most earthquake-related casualties result from collapsing walls, flying glass, and falling objects.

If in a moving vehicle

 

 

• Stop as quickly as safety permits and stay in the vehicle. Avoid stopping near or under buildings, trees, overpasses, and utility wires.
• Proceed cautiously once the earthquake has stopped. Avoid roads, bridges, or ramps that might have been damaged by the earthquake.

If trapped under debris (sampah-sarap)

• Do not light a match.
• Do not move about or kick up dust.
• Cover your mouth with a handkerchief or clothing.
• Tap on a pipe or wall so rescuers can locate you. Use a whistle if one is available. Shout only as a last resort. Shouting can cause you to inhale dangerous amounts of dust.
