Situation:

1. You were on a car when a magnitude 5.5 and intensity VI earthquake happened.

What will you do prior, during, and after the Earthquake?

2. You were inside a building in the 21 st floor when a magnitude 7.4 and intensity IX earthquake
happened.
What will you do prior, during, and after the Earthquake?

3. You were at home when a magnitude 2.4 and intensity III earthquake happened.

What will you do prior, during, and after the Earthquake?

Different situations call for different ways of addressing or handling the problem. Write your
answer on a table (You may follow the format provided below. But you may create your own).

ANALYSIS:

-Based on the given data shown above, both during situations 1 to 3, preparations and awareness can be
observed due to the presence of certain precautionary and awareness exercises being executed such as
preparation of emergency kits, plans, and awareness prior or before the said situations even happen. As
observed on situations 1 to 3 during the earthquake scenarios, they both resemble the nature of being
calm and executing earthquake exercises such as duck, cover, and hold, they only differ on executing the
ways of avoiding dangers depending on the situation. After the disaster, both situations 1 to 3 resembles
almost the same behavior, the behavior of being practical and logical by not rushing out in the open as
the shaking already stopped, avoiding potential dangers can also be observed on situations 1 to 3 such
as falling debris after the earthquake.

CONCLUSION:

-Based on the analysis data shown above, I hereby conclude that before an earthquake disaster
happens, be prepared at all times, make sure that there is always an emergency kit and plan prepared
near you in case something terrible like an earthquake happen. During an earthquake, be sure to stay
calm, avoid danger zones such as crowded places, elevators and enclosed areas with high possibility of
falling debris, be sure to perform emergency earthquake exercises during the disaster and wait for the
shaking to neutralize before leaving the area. After the disaster don’t just rush out illogically, wait for
further instructions of the officials and move slowly to areas that are safer.
