Federal Emergency Management Agency ( FEMA ) Emergency Guidelines

In the face of unexpected explosions, we are not completely helpless. There are many contingency measures that can help us reduce injuries. I hope everyone will never use it.

When an unexplained explosion occurs, possibly accompanied by a chemical leak:

If possible, determine the location of the explosion and possible chemical leaks as soon as possible.

Keep away from the explosion / leakage area immediately !

If something falls around you, drill down to a solid dining table or desk. When you stop falling, leave quickly and beware of clearly unstable floors and stairs. When you withdraw from the building, you must be very careful about falling debris.

Do not stand in front of windows, glass doors or other potentially hazardous areas.

Use sidewalks or streets for emergency personnel or other people who have not been evacuated.

If the explosion / leakage occurs in your building, you should:

Leave as soon as possible but escape the contaminated area.

If there is smoke, come down. Don't stop and go back to pick up personal items or call.

Do not use the elevator.

If you can't leave the building, or if you can't pass through the explosion area, look for places that are as far away from the blast as possible, and then take protective measures in place (see two points later).

If you are outdoors when the explosion occurs, you should:

Calculate how quickly you can find fresh air. Determine if you should flee as soon as possible or enter the nearest building in place.

If you choose to flee, you can judge the direction of the wind and immediately move up the explosion point.

If you are trapped in the ruins, you should:

If possible, use a flashlight to inform rescue workers where you are.

Hit pipes or walls so that rescue workers can find your location.

If possible, whistle signals to rescue workers.

Don't shout at the last resort. When you shout, you will inhale dangerous amounts of dust.

Avoid unnecessary movements so that you don't pick up dust.

Use whatever is on hand to cover your mouth and nose. (The densely woven cotton is very good for filtration. Try to breathe through this material.)

If you are notified to stay home, or for other reasons, decide on local protection:

Use all known information and your common sense to determine when you need to escape and when you should take local protective measures.

If family and pets are around, make sure they enter the house together.

Lock the door, close the window, close the vents and the fireplace.

Turn off the fan and air conditioner.

In the house hidden inside, the windows are as small as possible.

Bring your emergency reserve supplies.

Seal all doors, windows, and vents with 2-4 mm thick plastic paper and strips. Plastic paper can be cut in advance to save time.

When using a strip of glue, stick to the corner first and seal the edge.
