Immediate Safety

1) Hence, in case of an earthquake, the safest place to be would be in an open ground – away from all kinds of buildings and tall structures.

2) If you can not rush out of your building, you can duck under some sturdy desk etc. which might provide protection against heavy objects falling on your body.

3) If even that is not possible, sit against a wall, with your back pushing the wall firmly, and, lean forward – to take your head in between both your knees, and, put your hands at the back of your head – to provide protection to your head and spine. or, you could stand directly below one of the door-frame in your house.

4) GIS is also used for planning & response by providing certain maps, legends, routing, searching, etc

5) Earthquake resistant buildings are also prepared in new constructions.
