如何应对地震：

have a backpack prepared and attached to the bed, containing shoes, a flashlight and batteries, keys, money, first-aid supplies and medicines, a knife, food, water, id and insurance information. attaching the pack to the bed helps to insure that it will not be thrown around during an earthquake. 准备好应急包。
