How to Know Naturally when Earthquake Will Strike No one can predict when an earthquake will strike, but if you stay in an earthquake prone area, you have to depend on these age old indications of the animals and try to go to a safer places the moment you notice any behavior aberration among the animals. Observe the behavior of animals. It is possible to be warned of an impending earthquake by watching the reactions of such animals as a dog, cat, fish, chipmunk etc. Even ants behave oddly prior to an earthquake. Look for such signs as: • Dogs often display erratic behavior such as excessive barking/biting. • Pets disappearing suddenly. If your pet goes missing, though you may be worried for your pet, you dont have to worry about an earthquake necessarily. But if many pets in your neighborhood go missing around the same time - this could be a warning. • Studies have shown birds lay less eggs than normal during the interval before an earthquake. Are all of your hens suddenly not laying? Tips • Make sure to have cash available as electricity may be knocked out after an earthquake. ATMs may be unavailable during power outages. • If living in a earthquake prone area, keep an earthquake kit in an accessible place. Keep another kit in a vehicle. • If you are staying in an earthquake prone area, be aware of some rules on how to act when an earthquake strike, e.g. come out in the open space, use staircase instead of lifts, never stand near the compound wall, make use of your car as an alternate arrangement for staying etc. • During an earthquake cycle, be sure to keep vehicles gassed up. • Bookmark the local earthquake server for rapid online information. • Contact a local emergency services agency such as the Red Cross for information on how to put together and earthquake kit. Warnings • Dont panic. If you panic too much then you will lose control of what youre doing and put your life in danger. • Dont try any risks that you feel unsure about.
