Every time an earthquake, unfortunately, hits an area of Italy, the debate arises again: how much are Italians really informed about what to do and above all what not to do in the event of a seismic event? FIRST Tutorial, the FIRSTonline vertical site that wants to help citizens via the web when faced with the problems that life presents, try to explain it once and for all, with the collaboration of the leading experts in the sector, namely the Department of Civil Protection. For example, what to do if you feel an earthquake and are alone, indoors or outdoors?
“If the earthquake strikes – reads the tutorial – and you are in a closed place, do not rush out, but wait for the quake to end. Immediately reach the opening of a door inserted in a load-bearing wall (the thicker one), or a load-bearing wall, get under a beam or take cover under a bed or a sturdy table. Indeed, in the center of the room, you could be hit by falling objects, pieces of plaster, false ceilings, furniture, etc. Get away from glass and windows, which could break, and from everything that can fall on you. Before leaving, turn off the gas, water and electricity and put on your shoes." Often, understandably due to haste and panic, it is precisely to turn off the gas and electricity that one is neglected: remembering this would be preferable.
On FIRST Tutorial we also talk about Internet on fiber, copper and mixed, and how to recognize the fastest connection: a 2018 AGCom resolution had to shed light on the real speeds of the connections sold and how to recognize commercial offers on the fly. However, not everything is clear yet, explains Enrico Maria Ferrari.
