Aim
Highlight a simple tool to make the right decisions at the right time.
Script:
A few things happen in an emergency:
Things appear to happen in slow motion
Sometimes you get tunnel vision
Sensory overload – too much information – brain can’t compute
You may be in shock
You may have seconds to act
Key messages:
Doing the right thing right now – to survive the first few seconds
Doing the right things in the next few minutes
Do not worry about the next few hours and days
Keep focussing on the next few minutes until you get home
Instructor information
Things appear to happen in slow motion – Called temporal distortion – Because the brain is processing information very quickly in survival mode
Survive the first few seconds – secure heavy items to prevent injury and knowing what to do
Survive the next few minutes – training to control the chaos when the shaking stops – having a plan knowing what to do – First Aid
Surviving the next few hours – civil defence kit, emergency communication apps and making appropriate evacuation decisions w

2. w Evacuate or Stay? IMAGES – EVACUATE OR STAY? SUMMARY Aim
Summarise earthquake hazards and how they impact on evacuation decision making
Script
If there is an earthquake: stay
If there is an earthquake and people are injured: look after yourself before helping others
If there is a post-earthquake fire: evacuate
If you are in a tsunami zone: try to go to a higher floor (tsunami safe zone)
If your building is severely damaged: evacuate
Q: What if you can’t evacuate the building?
A: You may be trapped in the building for several days – importance of food and plenty of water
A: Try and gain access to the roof to signal for help/rescue
Consider the weather before evacuating – it may be safer to stay in the building until the weather clears before walking home
Remember: the building is unlikely to collapse! w
