Ok in light of all the earthquakes i decided to post this information as i think it beneficial to all of us.
Scientists are predicting more earthquakes in frequency and strength in the upcoming years.

Where to be during an earthquake - New Information
Remember that stuff about hiding under a table or standing in a
doorway?? Well,
this guy has a completely reverse opinion. This is very
interesting, and different from what we have been taught.
Please read
this and pass the info along to your family members and friends;
it could save their lives someday!
EXTRACT FROM DOUG COPP'S ARTICLE ON THE 'TRIANGLE
OF LIFE'
My name is Doug Copp. I am the Rescue Chief and Disaster Manager of the American Rescue
Team International (ARTI), the world's most experienced rescue
team. The information in this article will save lives in an earthquake.
I have crawled inside 875 collapsed buildings, worked with rescue teams from 60 countries, founded rescue teams in several countries, and I
am a member of many rescue teams from many countries.
I was the United
Nations expert in Disaster Mitigation for two years. I have worked at
every major disaster in the world since 1985, except for simultaneous
disasters.
The first building I ever crawled inside of was a school in Mexico
City during
the 1985 earthquake.
Every child was under its desk. Every child was crushed to the
thickness of their bones. They could have survived by lying down next
to their desks in the aisles. It was obscene, unnecessary and I
wondered why the children were not in the aisles. I didn't at the time
know that the children were told to hide under something.
Simply stated, when buildings collapse, the weight of
the
ceilings falling upon the objects or furniture inside crushes these
objects, leaving a space or void next to them. This space is what I
call the 'triangle of life'. The larger the object, the stronger, the
less it will compact. The less the object compacts, the larger the
void, the greater the probability that the person who is using this
void for safety will not be injured. The next time you watch collapsed
buildings, on television, count the 'triangles' you see formed. They
are everywhere. It is the most common shape, you will see, in a
collapsed building.
TIPS FOR EARTHQUAKE SAFETY
1) Most everyone who simply 'ducks and covers' WHEN BUILDINGS COLLAPSE
are crushed to death. People who get under objects, like desks or
cars, are crushed.
2) Cats, dogs and babies often naturally curl up in the fetal position. You should too in an
earthquake. It is a natural safety/survival instinct. You can survive
in a smaller void. Get next to an object, next to a sofa, next to a
large bulky object that will compress slightly but leave a void next to
it.
3) Wooden buildings are the safest type of construction to be in during an earthquake. Wood is flexible and moves with the force
of the earthquake. If the wooden building does collapse, large survival
voids are created. Also, the wooden building has less concentrated,
crushing weight. Brick buildings will break into individual bricks.
Bricks will cause many injuries but less squashed bodies than concrete slabs.
4) If you are in bed during the night and an earthquake occurs, simply roll off the bed.
A safe void will exist around the bed. Hotels can achieve a much
greater survival rate in earthquakes, simply
by
posting a sign on the back of the door of every room telling occupants
to lie down on the floor, next to the bottom of the bed during an
earthquake.
5) If an earthquake happens and you cannot easily escape by getting out the door or window, then lie down and curl up in
the fetal position next to a sofa, or large chair.
6) Most everyone who gets under a doorway when buildings collapse is killed.
How? If you stand under a doorway and the doorjamb falls forward or
backward you will be crushed by the ceiling above. If the door jam falls
sideways you will be cut in half by the doorway. In either case, you
will be killed!
7) Never go to the stairs. The stairs have a different 'moment of
frequency' (they swing separately from the main part of the building). The stairs and remainder of the building
continuously bump into each other until structural
failure of the stairs takes place. The people who get on stairs
before they fail are chopped up by the stair treads - horribly
mutilated. Even if the building doesn't collapse, stay away from the
stairs. The stairs are a likely part of the building to be damaged.
Even if the stairs are not collapsed by the earthquake, they may
collapse later when overloaded by fleeing people. They should always be
checked for safety, even when the rest of the building is not damaged.
8) Get
Near the Outer Walls Of Buildings Or Outside Of Them If Possible -
It is much better to be near the outside of the building rather than
the interior. The farther inside you are from the outside perimeter of
the building the greater the probability that your escape route will be
blocked.
9) People inside of their vehicles are crushed when the road above
falls in an earthquake and crushes their vehicles; which is exactly
what happened with the slabs between the decks of the Nimitz Freeway.
The victims of the San
Francisco earthquake
all stayed inside
of their vehicles.. They were all killed. They could have easily
survived by getting out and sitting or lying next to their vehicles.
Everyone killed would have survived if they had been able to get out of
their cars and sit or lie next to them. All the crushed cars had voids
3 feet high next to them, except for the cars that had columns fall
directly across them.
10) I discovered, while crawling inside of collapsed newspaper offices and other offices with a lot of
paper, that paper does not compact. Large voids are found surrounding
stacks of paper.
Spread the word and save someone's life..... The Entire World is
experiencing natural calamities so be prepared!
'We are but angels with one wing, it takes two to fly'
In 1996 we made a film, which proved my survival methodology to be correct. The Turkish Federal Government,
City of Istanbul ,
University of
Istanbul Case Productions and ARTI cooperated to film
this
practical, scientific test. We collapsed a school and a home with 20
mannequins inside. Ten mannequins did 'duck and cover,' and ten
mannequins I used in my 'triangle of life' survival method. After the
simulated earthquake collapse we crawled through the rubble and
entered the building to film and document the results. The film, in
which I practiced my survival
techniques under directly observable, scientific conditions, relevant to building
collapse, showed there would have been zero percent survival
for those doing duck and cover.
There would likely have been 100 percent survivability for people using my method of the 'triangle of
life.' This film has been seen by millions of viewers on television in
Turkey and the rest of Europe,
and it was seen in the USA, Canada and Latin America on the TV program Real TV.
