Have you ever felt the ground shake? That’s called an earthquake! It’s a natural event that happens when energy is suddenly released in the Earth’s crust. This makes the ground vibrate and move. Sometimes, earthquakes can cause other things like fires, mudslides, rockfalls, and even big waves called tsunamis.
If you’re near the ocean and feel an earthquake, quickly run to higher ground. If you’re near a hill, stay away from the hillside. If you’re at home and everything starts to shake, find a safe place to hide. Good spots are under a bed, under a table, or in the bathroom. When an earthquake happens, your house might shake up and down and side to side.
After a big earthquake, there might be smaller shakes called aftershocks. It’s important to stay alert. Try to be in an open area where nothing can fall on you. Earthquakes can happen anytime, so it’s good to know what to do. You can prepare an emergency backpack with things you might need during an earthquake.
If an earthquake happens, stay calm and find a safe spot to hide. Stay away from windows because the glass can break and hurt you. Be careful if you’re near a door, as it might fall. Hiding under a desk can protect you from things that might fall.
Once the shaking stops, stay in an open area until it’s safe. If you need help, use a whistle to let others know. Remember to stay calm and follow safety rules.
If someone you don’t know knocks on the door, don’t open it. Make sure it’s someone you know before opening. If you’re not sure, call your parents.
Be careful around sharp objects and electrical outlets. Always put your toys away after playing so you don’t trip. When using stairs, hold onto the railing and walk slowly to avoid falling.
When traveling, always remember to stay safe. Stay where your parents can see you and don’t talk to strangers. When crossing the street, hold hands with an adult and follow the traffic signals.
In the car, children should use a rear-facing car seat if they are under a certain weight. Keep your hands inside the car and don’t throw anything out of the window.
Thank you for learning about earthquake safety! Stay safe and remember these tips. Have fun exploring more about safety and the world around you!
Shake Table Experiment: Create a simple shake table to simulate an earthquake. Use a baking sheet and place it on top of two tennis balls. Put small building blocks or toy houses on the baking sheet. Gently shake the sheet to see how the structures react. Discuss with your friends or family what happens to the buildings and how you might make them stronger to withstand the shaking.
Earthquake Safety Drill: Practice an earthquake safety drill at home or in the classroom. Pretend an earthquake is happening and find a safe spot to hide, like under a table or in a doorway. Time how long it takes to get to your safe spot. Talk about what you would do if you were in different places, like outside or at school, when an earthquake happens.
Observation Walk: Go on a walk around your neighborhood or school and look for places that might be safe or unsafe during an earthquake. Can you find sturdy tables to hide under? Are there any tall shelves or glass windows that might be dangerous? Draw a map of your findings and share it with your class or family.

An earthquake is a natural phenomenon that can be disastrous. It’s the result of a sudden release of energy in the Earth’s crust, causing the ground to vibrate and shake, and sometimes displace the ground. An earthquake can trigger secondary events such as fires, mudslides, rockfalls, and tsunamis.
If you are by the ocean, run towards high ground as fast as you can. If you’re next to a hill, stay away from the hillside area. If you’re at home and everything starts to move, quickly hide in a safe place. Under the bed, under the table, and in the bathroom are ideal hiding spots. When an earthquake strikes, your house will shake up and down and then side to side.
After a large earthquake, there might be aftershocks, so we must stay alert at all times. Take refuge in the nearest open area. Earthquakes can happen at any time, so we must learn what to do when it happens. We can prepare an emergency backpack in case of an earthquake to have everything we need.
