Students can live in the Alfam Dormitory in a cozy and secure environment while they pursue their education. Nonetheless, it is susceptible to natural calamities like earthquakes, just like any other structure. Everyone in the dorm needs to be aware of how to protect oneself and others in case of an earthquake. Here are some suggestions about what to do in Alfam Dormitory in case of an earthquake.

Remain calm

Keep cool first and foremost. It's critical to maintain composure and avoid panic. While earthquakes can be frightening and upsetting, it's important to maintain composure to protect both yourself and other people.

Take Cover, Hang On, and Drop

Lay Down, Hide, and Hold On. The suggested course of action in an earthquake is this. As the ground begins to tremble, get to the ground and hide under a sturdy desk, table, or other piece of furniture or object while holding on to it. Be sure to use your arms and hands to shield your head and neck. Avoid attempting to flee the building since doing so could be more risky.

Avoid going near windows and doors

Avoid going near doors and windows. Windows and doors are more likely to break or fly open during an earthquake.
