This presentation provides guidance on what to do after an earthquake in 3 levels of intensity:
1) After evacuating to the safe zone, remain calm, do a head count of students, and report any missing students. Check for injuries and use the class first aid kit if needed.
2) The class first aid kit should include long cloth, gauze pads, isopropyl alcohol, hydrogen peroxide, and betadine to treat wounds.
3) In more intense quakes, check for gas leaks before cleaning debris, contact authorities if the area is impassable, and call for help if a student is incapacitated. Being prepared to help others in need is important.

5. Youve seen how to be prepared
beforehand,
Now youll know how to survive
after one.
6. Focus
This presentation was made mostly for the
students Unit II, III and also for teachers and
staff members of CSA. We believe that with the
standard drills and practices taught to us
regularly, they can understand a lot more on
what well be explaining.
Those of Unit I are under the responsibility of the
teachers themselves. Hence, this presentation
may help with assisting the younger ones.
7. Objectives
1. To apply what weve learned in preparation for
an earthquake and its absolute importance
after one.
2. To bring up more awareness of knowing what
to do after an earthquake
3. To show some vital skills that may save you or
a fellow students life.
8. Whats the Damage?
The intensity of the earthquake is what can show
how much damage might be made. The
processes we need to do depend on what
happened and how many people are affected in
an area.
Class I: Significant, but harmless effect
Class II: Significant and serious effect
Class III: Dangerous and possibly life-threatening
9. I. After Evacuation
It is through the drills that we know what to do
during one. After reaching the schools safe zone,
here are some things to remember:
Class I-III:
1. Stay calm!
2. File in to check the class attendance
3. Immediately report if a classmate may be
missing.
4. Standby for further orders and follow
accordingly.
10. II. Health Check
Its always important to check for any signs of
injury. If there are, following these may help:
Class II-III:
1. Check from head to toe for signs of injury.
2. Do the same for classmates if they may.
3. If there might be a sign of injury, call a teacher
for help and use the class medical kit for the
specific injury.
12. Important Contents of the Kit:
1. Long Cloth for support and injury cover
2. Gauze Pads to cover any open wound
3. Disinfectants Ispropyl Alcohol, Hydrogen
Peroxide, Betadine
14. IV: Cleaning After the Quake
After a possibly strong earthquake, there would
definitely be broken or misplaced objects that
might be scattered along the classrooms and
function rooms. If so, here are some things to
remember:
Class II:
Dont go in without protection! Put on a mask or
long sleeves if able.
Check for a gas leak in any of the rooms
Dont go in if the debris makes it impassable.
15. V. Situational Outcomes
Besides the four given, we also need to be
prepared for other situational outcomes. Some
of these might even require more than we think.
16. A. Telecommunications
In an event where the earthquake is serious, and
the teachers allow the students to contact home;
Class III:
1. Contact home immediately when given the
chance to do so.
2. If a fellow classmate has no phone but needs to
call, lend yours after you are finished.
3. If the service might be down, wait for it to
come back
17. B. Suspension
If the earthquake might cause significant damage,
the administration might call for a suspension. If
such happens:
Class II-III:
1. Contact home once its allowed by the teachers
2. Stay in the appointed waiting area
3. Inform the teacher once your appointed
fetcher arrives.
18. C. Incapacitation
Injury is preventable, but unavoidable in the event of
an earthquake. If there is a time when a fellow
classmate may be incapacitated or seriously injured,
follow the following:
1. Calm down and give space for the victim.
2. Check for pulse and breathing if the victim fainted.
3. Apply first aid to the victim if needed.
4. Immediately call for help from a teacher or staff
member.
19. Conclusion:
Its vital that were all prepared for the disasters
that come our way. Planning ahead truly makes
us come back from these situations faster. As
students of CSA, we must call to the help of
others by anticipating that these may happen at
any time.
If there may be a time when an earthquake may
cause severe damage, we must being formed and
ready enough to help those in need.
