EARTHQUAKES:Also called earthquake, earthquake, earthquake or earthquake, is a phenomenon of sudden and sudden shaking of the earth's crust produced by the release of energy accumulated in the form of seismic waves. The most common are produced by the activity of geological faults.

1. If you are inside a house or building, Do not leave, unless the building deserves it.

2. If cooking, cut the kitchen fire.

3. Stand in a safe place (for example, under a solid cabinet). If you are outdoors.

4. Stay away from buildings, trees, electric lighting and utility wires.

5. Stay on the outside until the movement passes. If you are in a vehicle .

6. Stop the vehicle and stay inside.

7. Stay away from buildings, trees, level steps and cables.

8. Once the movement is finished, act with caution. Avoid bridges or ramps that may have been damaged by the earthquake.

FLOODS:A flood is an overflow of water that submerges land that is usually dry. Defines a flood as a covering by waterof land not normally covered by water. In the sense of "flowing water", the word may also be applied to the inflow of the tide. 

1. If you have time, secure your home. Bring in outdoor furniture. Move essential items to an upper floor.

2. Turn off utilities at the main switches or valves if instructed to do so. Disconnect electrical appliances. Do not touch electrical equipment if you are wet or standing in water. 

3. When a flood “warning” is issued for your area, evacuate. Head for higher ground and stay there.

4. Do not walk through moving water. Six inches of moving water can make you fall. If you have to walk in water, walk where the water is not moving. Use a stick to check the firmness of the ground in front of you.

5. Turn around, don’t drown, If you come upon a flowing stream where water is above your ankles, stop, turn around and go another way.
