Earthquake Hazard Hunt

地震隱患排查

You can identify potential dangers in your home by conducting an earthquake hazard hunt. Foresight and common sense are all that are needed as you go from room to room and imagine what would happen in an earthquake. Some possible hazards are:

你可以通過在家中進行“地震隱患排查”來尋找地震中可能出現(xiàn)的隱患。你需要做的只是巡視你的房間，設(shè)想地震時房中會發(fā)生什么，用你的常識來進行預(yù)測、找出隱患。一些可能的隱患有：

Tall, heavy furniture that could topple, such as bookcases, china cabinets, or modular wall units.

 Water heaters that could be pulled away from pipes and rupture.

Appliances that could move enough to rupture gas or electrical lines.

Hanging plants in heavy pots that could swing free of hooks.

Heavy picture frames or mirrors over a bed.

Latches on kitchen or other cabinets that will not hold the door closed during shaking.

Breakables or heavy objects that are kept on high or open shelves.

A masonry chimney that could crumble and fall through an unsupported roof.

Flammable liquids, like painting or cleaning products, that would be safer in a garage or outside shed.

在地震中可能會倒塌的又高又重的家具，比如書架、瓷器柜，或是定制的組合柜。應(yīng)當(dāng)設(shè)法固定在墻壁上

可能會從管道上脫離并碎裂的熱水器。

可能發(fā)生移動，扯壞煤氣管道或電線的物品。

懸掛在高處較重的盆載植物，有可能脫鉤墜落。

掛在床上方較重的像框或鏡子，有可能在地震中墜落。

櫥柜或別的柜子劇烈晃動時，柜子的插銷可能會松動打開。

放置在高處開放式儲物架上的易碎品或重物可能會墜落摔碎。

石制煙囪可能壓垮無支撐的房頂并崩塌。

易燃液體，如油漆及清潔劑，應(yīng)儲存于車庫或是室外儲物室中(而不是室內(nèi))。

Take steps to correct these hazards — secure or relocate heavy items as appropriate.

請設(shè)法逐個排除這些隱患，妥善安置各種重物，把不妥的重物重新放置。
