　　Are You Prepared for the Next Earthquake?

　　地震突襲，我們應該做些什么?

　　This booklet is designed to help you and your family plan for and survive a major earthquake. By taking action to be prepared, you can lessen the impact of an earthquake on your family. Set aside some emergency supplies, and teach your family what to do at home during and after a disaster. You could be without help for up to 72 hours, so learn to cope for at least that long.

　　Movement of the ground is seldom the actual cause of death or injury. Most casualties result from partial building collapse and falling objects and debris, like toppling chimneys, falling bricks, ceiling plaster, and light fixtures. Many of these conditions are easily preventable.

　　Because earthquakes occur without warning, it’s important to take steps now to prepare, so that you know what you can do and how to respond — constructive, protective action is possible.

　　這本小冊子旨在幫助你和家人學會未雨綢繆，以便在大地震時逃生。事先進行準備，可以減少地震帶來的沖擊。做一些適當的應急儲備，并告訴你的家人在災難中和災難之后該做些什么。當災難發生時，你很可能在72小時之內得不到任何救助。因此，至少要學會如何撐過72個小時。

　　地震中地面的移動一般不會直接造成傷亡。大多數傷亡是由建筑物的坍塌以及物體和建筑物殘骸墜落造成。比如，倒塌的煙囪、落下的磚頭、天花板上的泥塊以及燈具等。而多數情況都是易于避免的。

　　地震發生前是沒有征兆的，因此，從現在就開始進行準備相當重要。這樣一來，你才會知道災難發生時該做什么，該如何應對，如何進行有意義的自我保護。

　　A medical emergency might require more water.
