I would first tell everybody that are in buildings to put anything that is a flying hazard in a secure place like a low shelf. Then I would tell them to secure anything that is electronic like computers, microwaves, or TVs and wrap them with heavy straps because they are heavy objects. I would also tell them to secure things overhead like big hanging lights and other heavy hanging objects. And store any breakable items like glass, bottled foods, and low cabinets with secure latches. And if they have enough time, I would tell them to secure every big piece of furniture and nail them to the walls or put heavy objects on them. Then lastly, I would recommend the people to make a supplies kit before the earthquake stops and pack it with food, water, a …show more content…
Animals usually do very strange things when there is going to be an earthquake. And that is how some people predict when an earthquake is going to strike. There are researchers and scientists in China that are trying to figure out how unusual animal behavior can be used to predict earthquakes. They have no doubt that animals can predict earthquakes because they have seen all kinds of evidence from animals all over China. The Chinese scientists have made surveys for strange animal behavior before an earthquake. They sent the survey through 48 counties and 400 communes after the 1976 earthquake. They got a huge response from interviews and local people. The scientists had over 2,000 cases of unusual animal behavior previous to an earthquake. They also got a report of 58 different types of animals that reacted before the earthquake. This method became very successful, and Chinese scientists are trying to duplicate the organs in the animals that are able to sense the earthquake. They are currently working on this. The scientists find it very difficult to understand the sensory organ in the animal. So this method will take a couple of more years to
And make sure you, your family, and/or coworkers know what the plan is and where the kit is kept. • The kit should include items like food and water, blankets, flashlight and batteries, candles and matches, and any other essentials that would be useful during/after an earthquake and include enough of each item to last for 72 hours. • You should also keep one of these kits in your
Learn all airline regulations in advance - Since 9/11, regulations have become more strict and certain regular household items are not even allowed on planes. 4. Label luggage - Thousands of people travel daily so make sure your luggage is labeled to reduce the possibility of someone grabbing the wrong one. It seems almost everyone has black luggage and they all look similar. 5.
With the sheer size of the affected area, it will be hard to find everyone in time to save them. The number of casualties predicted for the Cascadia Subduction Zone rupture is incredibly high. Almost twenty-seven thousand people will be injured and over thirteen thousand people will die during the earthquake and tsunami according to FEMA (2). With barely any earthquake and tsunami procedures, the Pacific Northwest is completely unprepared for the disaster waiting to happen. The solution: build on the few procedures that are already in place and then create new ones
Animal rights and livestock farming Many of us, nowadays, eat and enjoy eating meat but many would agree that this is actually not an ethical action. Michael Pollan, in his persuasive style article “An Animal's Place" published in The New Work Times Magazine, on November 10, 2002 intends to persuade his audience that humans should respect animals and as long as they are treated well in farms and give them a more peaceful life and death it will be fine to eat them. According to Pollan, in today's huge industrial farms, cruel and unbearable things happen that are against animals rights. There is a high possibility that in the future these actions will stop as already some protest for animal rights have begun, because animals have feelings and farms take advantage of them thinking that they are mere machines, making them suffer. The solution to this conflict according to the author who supports friendly farms that respect and give a fun and secure life for animals.
A group of teenagers stole a puppy from his owners garden and abused him for hours. According to an RSPCA inspector, this is one of the worst cases the inspector had ever seen. The tiny chihuahua yorkshire terrier mix, named Chunky, was kicked, burned, hit, fed drugs, and had his neck squeezed before being left for dead. The eight month dog was eventually found and taken to a vet immediately. After four months, Chunky has fully recovered physically and is nice and playful.
Although the report released by Lawson provided insight about earthquake occurrence, it cannot help scientists and geologists to accurately predict when the next earthquake will occur. However, with advanced monitoring systems and computing power may help in better preparation of future earthquakes. The 1906 San Francisco earthquake brought geologists and scientists together and led to an understanding of earthquakes; how they occur, why they occur and how the world can prevent and manage such disasters in
Recently, on January 7th 2016, there was an earthquake caused by fracking, in Oklahoma, where earthquakes are rare. This particular quake was a 4.8 on the Richter Scale, which is the highest ever recorded. It occurred in the center of the state, was felt all over. Also, within the past week, there have been more than 20 quakes all over the state. in recent years, since 2011, earthquakes have occurred more and more often.
A tragic thing was that after the earthquake a multitudes of fire followed right after. The situation led to the water mains being destroyed and the firefighter being left with no water to settle the growing
Can one really determine a person’s character by their treatment of animals? In “The Call of the Wild” by Jack London, a dog named Buck is kidnapped from his life of luxury, and forced into the wild. Buck becomes a sled dog and is put through various owners, both responsible, and irresponsible. London conveys the theme that one can judge a person's character based on their treatment of animals as seen through Buck’s positive relationship with John Thorton, and his negative relationship with Hal, Charles, and Mercedes. One can judge a persons character based on their treatment of animals as seen through Buck’s positive relationship with John Thorton.
They should also find out the community’s warning system. A warning system can include a special sirens that the community has put together to warn everyone that the natural disaster is on its way (Ready.gov, 2012). People should also store enough food and water for at least 3 days (Wicker, 2015). Then, people should remain in their safe rooms or wind shelters until the tornado is confirmed to be over (Ready.gov, 2012). When the tornado is confirmed to be over, people should help look for
There are a lot of unexpected thing happened to our life. The Valdivia earthquake and Alaskan earthquakes is the most strongest earthquakes that ever happen in the world and this earthquakes are giving both of the two country a very big impact to their population and economy, they also losing a lot of people, housed, money and a huge of the area that earthquakes happened got damage. By the way one of the American author, Thomas Sowell, had said that “All thing are the same except for the differences and different except for the similarities” and that it true however both of them are the top strongest earthquakes but they are some different and similarity between them. Valdivia earthquake and Alaska earthquake are happened in America.
The earthquake of 2010 was a 7.0 on the Richter Scale. This large earthquake caused the death of 230,000 people. This was due to poor building structure and little warning. There were too many bodies to move and so few people who were capable of moving them (due to injuries) that the bodies would just be piled up on roads and in city squares. As a result of the earthquake, a total of 10,000 children were left orphaned.
Informative Speech Outline Speaker’s Name: Luz Singh Speech Topic: Safety; Before, During and After an Earthquake General Purpose: To Inform Central Idea (Main Goal): Help the audience prepare for a massive earthquake. A. Introduction Attention Grabber: I would like to begin by recalling the earthquake of a magnitude of 7.1 in the Ritcher Scale, that struck the center of Mexico this past 19th of September. (Transition):
Earthquakes are caused when rock underground suddenly breaks along a fault. This sudden release of energy causes the seismic waves that make the ground shake. When two plates are rubbing against each other, they stick a little. Most earthquakes occur along the edge of the oceanic and continental plates. Due to stress they shift and cause the earthquake.
