Earthquakes and tsunamis are some of the most devastating natural disasters that can occur, and it’s important to be prepared and informed on what to do in case of such an event.

In West Sumatra, where earthquakes and tsunamis are common, having a plan in place can be life-saving. In this article, we’ll discuss the steps to take in case of an earthquake and tsunami in West Sumatra.

1. Stay Calm and Stay Informed During a disaster

It’s important to remain calm and listen to the instructions of local authorities.

Stay informed by keeping up to date with the latest news and radio stations. By doing so, you’ll have an idea of the situation and how to react accordingly.

2. Evacuate to Higher Ground

In the event of an earthquake or tsunami, the first thing to do is evacuate to higher ground. If you are near the coast, move inland as quickly as possible.

It’s best to avoid low-lying areas or places near the coast, which are particularly vulnerable to tsunamis. You should always be alert and stay prepared for such events.

3. Follow Designated Evacuation Routes

To ensure that you are safe and accounted for, make sure to follow the designated evacuation routes and signs.

Note that bridges and roads may be damaged or blocked during a disaster, so be prepared to adjust your route if necessary.

If you’re driving, stay calm and follow instructions from the authorities. Avoid stopping your vehicle on bridges, underpasses or in areas that could obstruct emergency vehicles.

4. Seek Shelter in Safe Locations

If you’re unable to evacuate in time, seek shelter in safe locations such as the upper floors of tall and sturdy buildings.

If you are in a low-lying area, go to the roof of a building. Avoid staying in buildings that are in danger of collapse. It’s important to stay away from windows and glass objects to prevent injuries.

5. Prepare an Emergency Kit

In case of an emergency, it’s essential to have an emergency kit ready.

The kit should include essential items like food, water, first-aid supplies, blankets, a flashlight, and a radio. Keep the kit in a location that is easily accessible.

6. Stay Away from the Coast

Even after the initial earthquake and tsunami, it’s important to stay away from the coast and affected areas.

Wait for official guidance and instructions before returning to your home or workplace. It’s also important to be aware of potential aftershocks that can occur following an earthquake.

It’s crucial to be prepared and informed on what to do in case of an earthquake and tsunami in West Sumatra.

Remember to stay calm, stay informed, follow designated evacuation routes, seek shelter in safe locations, and prepare an emergency kit.

Listen to the instructions of local authorities and avoid areas that could be affected by tsunamis. With these measures in place, you can help ensure your safety and that of your loved ones.
