Earthquake to hide the "Golden Triangle" to protect life? Life off the day, do not let the wrong idea to help! Ministry of Interior Fire Department said in the fans, after the 921 earthquake, "Golden Triangle", "life triangular survival law" message was crazy transfer, but these ideas are wrong, hope that people do not transfer this message.
In addition, the Fire Department also reminded the earthquake if the people in the room, should immediately hid under the table, and do "get on the ground, cover, hold and hold the table feet," the "earthquake life-saving three steps" action relatively safe.
Taiwan is located on the earthquake belt, destined to earthquake, earthquake, how to protect life?
There is an article circulating on the Internet, an American rescue expert put forward the "Golden Triangle" argument, advocated the earthquake should be hiding behind the table or other shelter, if the ceiling fall or beam column down, will form a triangle To avoid space, but the traditional way to avoid refuge has been hiding under the table. In the end which.
"The so-called Golden Triangle and no evidence, I am afraid to cause more casualties," Chengda Hospital Emergency Department of Disaster Medicine Director Lin Zhihao pointed out.
Senior ambulance technician Zhang Jiawei and Lin Zhihao stressed that the earthquake will cause damage not only beam and column collapse, roof caving, including items falling, if you want to wait in the shelter next to the formation of the Golden Triangle, is likely to be dropped items or collapse Of the building body injured, it is not wise.
In addition, the earthquake may cause the ground uplift, not necessarily the formation of the Golden Triangle, or when the ground uplift cover, just pressed to hide in the next person. When the earthquake will be heavy objects will be displaced, the people caught in the middle of the wall and heavy objects can not move (below), how can the "Golden Triangle" can be refuge?
In contrast, the traditional approach (hiding under the shelter) is more justified, to avoid being dropped by the drop, the cover of the cover to cover or shift the mask to clip.
The principle of life protection when the earthquake occurred:
1. Find shelter: get on the ground, cover, hide on a solid table or other furniture (but not suitable for hiding under the glass table, because it is not strong enough and may be broken glass), and pay close attention to it until the end of the earthquake. If you can not find a solid shelter, hide in the corner of the building, the body curled, hands to protect the head.
2. Do not rush to run: If the earthquake occurs indoors, first in the room asylum, and other earthquake stopped and then retreated to the outside, because the study shows that most of the damage occurred in the earthquake when the evacuation process, such as the drop Injured.
3. Keep away from dangerous goods: If people are outdoors, try to stay away from buildings, traffic numbers, kanban and other dumping, falling dangerous goods.
Lin Zhihao reminded, if the earthquake trapped in the rubble, you can beat the walls or pipes, whistle, so that the rescue staff to find their own. Cover the nose and mouth with clothing, reduce the inhalation of dust. Unless necessary, try not to cry for help, so as not to inhale a lot of dust, affecting breathing.
Wrong myth: the earthquake came to hide the "Golden Triangle", a greater chance of survival.
The right way: hiding under the solid furniture, pay close attention to furniture, protective head and chest.
