Triangle Portable Toilet

Simply put, when a building collapses, the weight of the ceilings falling upon the objects or furniture inside, leaving a pa is price or empty with them. This is pa price is what I call the "triangle of life." The bigger and brighter the object, the less it will com pa ct . The less com pa cta the object will be larger this gap, the greater the likelihood that the person using this is pa price as a refuge or safety is not injured. The next time you watch collapsed buildings, on television, count the "triangles" that have been formed. Are all pa rts. It is the most common form seen in collapsed buildings. Are all pa rts.

(excuse the drawing primitive means, but it is the best I could do to give you an idea)

Ten Tips pa ra Earthquake safety

1. Almost all simply "bend over and cover" when a building collapses are crushed and die. People who take shelter under objects such as furniture and cars are crushed.


2. Cats, dogs and babies are naturally placed in fetal position. You also should do during an earthquake. It's a natural instinct sure of survival. You can survive in a small vacuum. Stand next to an object, next to a sofa, a large heavy object that will compress slightly but leave a void next to it.


3. Wooden buildings are the safest type of construction to be during an earthquake. Wood is flexible and moves with the force of the earthquake. If a wooden building collapses, it creates large gaps in survival. Also, the wooden building has less concentrated weight pa ra crush. Brick buildings will break into individual bricks. The bricks can cause many injuries but less than crush pieces of cement.


4. If you are in bed at night and there's an earthquake, simply roll off the floor. A safe void will exist next to the bed. The hotels achieved a greater level of survival during earthquakes simply by a notice placed behind doors they say they are placed on the floor beside the bed during an earthquake.


5. If an earthquake occurs and can not easily leave a door or window, then feta position yourself next to a sofa or large chair.


6. Almost all people who are placed in a doorway when buildings collapse is killed. How? If pa ra in the doorway and this fall forwards or backwards the ceiling will fall over him. If the threshold falls sideways you can be cut in half by it. In any case, you can die!


7. Never go to the stairs. The stairs have a "moment of frequency" different (pa shake is the ately pa pa rte l main building). The stairs and the rest of the building itself until it hit the rest of the structure fails. Even if the building does not collapse stay away from the stairs. The stairs are a pa rt of the building is likely to be damaged. Even if the stairs do not collapse during the earthquake, they will do when it gets full of people trying to leave the building. Always be reviewed pa ra see if they are safe, even when the rest the building was not damaged.


8. Approach to Network pa exterior building or out of them if possible. It's much better to be near the outside of the building interior. The more inside is in a building the more likely that your escape route is blocked.


9. people in a car when the streets are crushed up falling in an earthquake and crushes the vehicle, which is exactly what Só pa with cement blocks on the Nimitz Freeway in San Francisco . The victims of this earthquake were left in their vehicles and died. All those who died would have survived if they had gone down and crouched beside the vehicle. All the crushed cars had voids 3 feet high next to them, except that the columns had fallen directly across the width.


10. discovered as I crawled into newspaper offices and other offices with lots pa per, the pa pel not compressed. Large gaps are found next to piles or stacks of pa pel.
