In case of occurring an earthquake or tsunami and you find in a high, a tunnel or near the sea, do you know how to react to these circumstances?
On this subject in charge of the Department of preparation and education to the population, the operations centre of emergencies (COE), Carlos Paulino makes some remarks, among them not to abandon the route taken daily by fear to the occurrence of a disaster, because it "is not known exactly when is that you gonna happen an earthquake".
Paulino said that the structure of the high and the tunnels "are made taking into account measures in case of earthquake, so it is not recommended to change routes until they have suffered some type of damage,".
On the other hand, recommends in addition, if the person moves into a vehicle by an elevated or tunnel, you must not get out of there.
"If it goes above a high or a tunnel, should stop right, arranging the" u000aseat and lie down on it. "It is not advisable to leave the vehicle, as it is certainly not likely from the structure to collapse," says Paulino, to indicate that these measures can also take on the roads.
However, the expert explained that at the time of an earthquake should take into account that has not tended electric, billboards or some tree that can fall you over.
Event of a tsunami, and you find yourself close to the sea, Paulino recommends that it must run to the highest place that.
"Should do the same if moved by the Malecón, and when you're in a building front or near the sea, it is recommended that it rises to the level of the highest, taking into account that the structure is of concrete or steel, as the waves can destroy the place", pointed out.
Likewise, he pointed out several points of how to realize when there is a tsunami.
The firstis u000athat "If you are on the beach and sees that a larger than normal wave comes, leave running as far as possible in the area, because after this will be the succession of waves"
Another tip for knowing when approaching a tsunami, is the fact that you see that the sea is away.
Finally, the expert said that at the time that the COE issued an evacuation order, if you are close to the sea must leave "while further, better".
The Dominican population is not prepared for an earthquake of one magnitude greater than the three that have touched territory Dominican in less than a month.
