SDG-4. 10 SIMPLE STEPS TO FOLLOW DURING AN EARTHQUAKE: SAFETY COMES FIRST!

An educational and awareness-raising session entitled “10 Simple Steps to Follow During an Earthquake” was held with second-year students majoring in Natural and Technogenic Risks (ТТҚҚ).

During the session, students were informed about the proper actions to take during an earthquake, the importance of staying calm, choosing a safe place, evacuating buildings safely, and following essential safety precautions in emergency situations.

The students also shared their thoughts and personal experiences, discussing how they behaved during an earthquake, how they felt, and what actions they considered important in such situations. Sharing their experiences helped them gain a deeper understanding of the importance of following safety rules.

The main objective of the session was to improve future specialists' preparedness for emergency situations, develop safe behaviour skills, and raise awareness of personal responsibility during natural disasters.

We cannot prevent earthquakes, but being prepared and taking the right actions can save lives!
