Common Myths About Earthquake

Myths surrounding earthquakes persist, often clouding public understanding of these natural phenomena. Contrary to popular belief, doorways are not the safest refuge during an earthquake; today, experts recommend "Drop, Cover, and Hold On" under sturdy furniture. Additionally, the notion that earthquakes only occur in specific regions is false; seismic activity can happen anywhere. Another misconception involves animals predicting earthquakes; while animals may react to seismic waves, they lack predictive abilities. People also mistakenly believe that small earthquakes prevent larger ones, but seismic activity does not follow such patterns. Lastly, the belief that opening windows equalizes pressure and prevents building collapse is unfounded; modern structures are designed to withstand varying pressures. Dispelling these myths is crucial for promoting accurate earthquake preparedness, ensuring communities are well-informed and resilient in the face of seismic events.
