Aftershock

Using the Richter scale

Time for an aftershock. Yup that’s right, the earthquake isn’t over yet. Still stay where you are until told that the quake is officially over.

Still stay away from damaged buildings because they are still likely to fall and collapse which could lead to massive injuries.

Go check the gas and water and see if it has been damaged. If it has been, then fix it or just don’t go near it. You should also check yourself for any damages and then help others if they have a dilemma.

You should still stay away from any beaches because they could have small tsunamis.

Finally, be careful of any glass on the ground. Don’t get cut.
This is what you do before, during and after an earthquake. Earthquakes are dangerous so please be as careful as possible without vexing a lot.
