After the earthquake occurred in many major cities of the world, may we be worried about how to actually make our homes more secure when the earthquake struck.
Here are some tips that might be useful :
1. Use a roof truss Galvanize / mild steel.
This new type of roof truss is in addition to lighter and faster installation, also more earthquake resistant than ordinary wood frame. This may be the cause is due at the joints using a bolt system that is more flexible so that when an earthquake happens, the connection is not easily broken. In addition, stem Galvanize also stronger than a piece of wood that break easily when the shock.
2. Use a lightweight roofing material.
Currently, many roofing options are light but still look beautiful like Galvanize material or aluminum. These materials are much more resistant and safe when an earthquake happens because it is made of lightweight material and a slab width of each binding when the earthquake struck. Unlike concrete or clay roof which when hit by an earthquake is very easy to fall and crumble.
3. Use window film on windows.
Use window film (transparent or color), especially on the glass windows are large and children’s room, or in dangerous areas. When an earthquake occurs, the glass-glass window will not be easily broken so that you and your family can easily leave the house to save themselves.
4. Be strong cabinets and other furniture.
If you have a big closet at home, keep the cabinets are attached / linked to strong on the wall. So when the earthquake occurred, this cabinet will not befall us.
5. Reduce hangings.
If you live in earthquake-prone areas, reduce the decoration hanging on the wall as much as possible. When forced to hang the ornaments, then use bolts and not just the nails so that when an earthquake occurs, these ornaments still hanging despite swinging at the wall.
