Answers to Disaster Safety Quiz
1. False. During an earthquake, stop the car and stay in it, away from anything that could fall on you and your car. However, during a tornado, get out of and away from the car. It could be blown through the air or roll over on you.
2. True. Power can also be restored more easily when the system is not overloaded.
3. False. Crouch down with your feet close together and your head down (the "leap-frog" position). Don't lie flat -- by minimizing your contact with the ground, you reduce the risk of being electrocuted by a ground charge.
4. False. Always operate a generator outdoors in well-ventilated conditions, well away from doors or windows.
5. True. If there is no basement, crouch or lie flat (under heavy furniture) in an inner hallway or small inner room or stairwell away from windows. |
