Introduction

Hello everyone. Welcome to our’s presentation, these are the members/jobs of my group.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. The Event of the Earthquake

+ Magnitude & Rarity: At 9.5 MW (Magnitude Scale), this was unprecedented. It stands as the benchmark for seismic power.

+ Location: The epicenter was near Valdivia, Southern Chile, but the impact was global.

+ The Aftermath: It triggered a massive tsunami that reverberated across the Pacific, reaching as far as Hawaii and Japan.

+ Casualties: Estimates vary tragically between 1,000 and 7,000 fatalities.

+ Lesson: This event proves that Nature’s power is formidable, demanding our constant vigilance.

1. What we need to Preparation

+ Structural Integrity: We must secure heavy furniture to mitigate the risk of crushing injuries.

+ Strategic Planning:

• Establish a family plan.
• Identify evacuation routes and locate utility shut-offs (gas/water).
• Designate an out-of-area contact to maintain communication lines when local networks fail.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. During the Disasters

+ Indoors: Adhere to the 'Drop, Cover, and Hold On' protocol under sturdy furniture.

+ Hazard Avoidance: strictly evade windows and exterior walls to avoid shattering glass and debris.

+ Outdoors: Immediately proceed to an open area, keeping a safe distance from buildings or collapsing structures.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Conclusion

+ To conclude, the 1960 Valdivia Quake was the ultimate test of readiness. While we cannot control the sheer force of nature, we have full autonomy over our preparation. Readiness is our best defense. Be prepared, remain composed, and stay safe.

+ Thank you specially to all of you for your attentiveness listening. We hope this presentation has been insightful.
