What I Can Do
1. I can consider our house as somewhat safe since anywhere
you go in the house, you are not that far from exits.
However, it can be also considered as not safe since
cabinets are not fixed to not fall during earthquakes. To
make the house safer, cabinets should be temporarily fixed
on the walls and the floor, it would be safer also if the
house is equipped with a fire extinguisher or smoke
detector and water sprinkler.
2. The falling objects, because falling objects are more
likely to happen rather than getting affected by
obstructions on the floor, slippery floor, or the narrow
walkway.
3. Yes.
4. a) Unpreparedness, b) lack of emergency supplies, c) lack
of planning on what to do during disasters
