Background Information
Natural disasters caused by earthquakes are disasters that occur abruptly and
anywhere in earthquake prone regions, at any moment, and have the potential for
causing risks. Ground shaking and trembling during earthquakes seldom cause
disasters. Risks frequently occur from debris falling down on victims from damaged
buildings.
The risks resulting from earthquake events may take the shape of injuries, sickness,
threats to life, loss of secured feeling, and may even result in deaths, loss of property
and disruption of social activities. To eliminate or at least mitigate risk disasters like
these, preventive measures should be undertaken. Picture 1 shows that risk disaster
mitigation efforts can be made before a disaster (pre-disaster) occurs and after a
disaster (post-disaster) occurs. This module shall place more emphasis on pre-disaster
risk mitigation as a form of alertness measure should they sometimes be needed.
61
Preventive measures can take the shape of realizing preparedness to organize efficient
and effective steps. For students, realization of this preparedness shall be the
availability of evacuation site plans of classroom, school and house surroundings for
self-rescue during earthquakes.
With the availability of evacuation site plans, students will be ready to help themselves
as they will be well aware of the situation and condition of places where they currently
are. Students well aware of their surrounding condition and situation are accustomed to
their surrounding parts (classroom, school or houses), which are representing
”hazardous areas”, and which are representing safe places, then which are representing
safe paths for passing through during self-rescue and where they should go.
Thus it is very important that students know how to make evacuation site plans of their
classroom, school and houses. Likewise it is deemed necessary to have evacuation site
plans available in the classroom, school, or at home.
Evacuation site plans of classroom, school and house surroundings for self-rescue
purpose is a visualization of the condition and situation of the classroom, school and
house surroundings which can be used as a guide for rescue and security measures.
Hazard prone objects are objects which location, position, weight, and size can move,
shake, or collapse during earthquakes, so that they may crash down on humans or
other objects.
Hazard area is a place with many objects that may cause hazard or threat to humans
present at this place, or because the characteristics of the place are vulnerable against
hazards
Safe place is an area with no or minimized risk hazard. A safe place is usually open
space, flat, with no large trees, with no high walls that can collapse at any moment and
with no hazard prone objects. Safe places inside a classroom are for instance
underneath desks, behind doors, and room corners.
Safe path for self-rescue is a route without any risk or with minimized risk, thus
possible and safe to pass through during self-rescue.
62
An evacuation map will benefit as follows:
1. know safe places/locations in the classroom, school, school and house
surroundings;
2. know safe paths for passing through during a self-rescue effort;
3. know safe places for taking shelter;
4. know how to make rescue activities effective.
There are many objects and places in the classroom and school surrounding which are
hazardous during earthquakes. Risks may result from shaking, crashing, breaking
objects, etc. Whereas a certain area or place can be hazardous due to its location, for
instance a hilly terrain and a coastal area. Hills may be hazardous because of
landslides, whereas coasts are hazardous against tsunamis.
A hazard area can also result from the presence of unstable buildings that may collapse
during earthquakes. Objects and places like these should be avoided in order to
eliminate or mitigate hazard possibility. Whenever it is difficult to eliminate hazard,
particular objects or places should be avoided.
In general students will not be able to take security measures easily in the school
surrounding, what they should do during earthquakes is avoid hazard prone places for
humans. Regrettably, frequently during earthquakes, people are panicking so that they
do not know what to do to rescue themselves, they do not know where to go, and they
do not know where the places safe enough for taking shelter are and so on. Here is the
important role of an evacuation map.
Before making an evacuation map, observation should first of all be conducted against
the places/surroundings, for instance classroom, school and house surroundings. In
conducting observation, inventory taking should be made against all objects and where
the hazard prone places are. Prediction is then made of hazard probabilities, followed
by the designing of appropriate measures and efforts to prevent and mitigate risk
probabilities. Table 1 shows samples of objects and places with risk hazard and the
suggested coping methods.
63
Table 1 List of Goods and Places in the classroom hazardous against earthquakes and security measure
suggestions.
Security measures against objects and places can be done in different ways. There are
measures which are easy and cheap, for instance, fasten a bookshelf against the wall
or avoiding certain hazard prone places. There are also complex security measures
which are quite costly, for instance the designing and reconstructing of school or
housing foundations to make them resistant against earthquakes.
Places and objects already secured may mitigate or eliminate hazards. So there is great
chance that people who stay at places or near these objects will be spared from risk
hazard.
Table 2 List of Objects and Places in the house surrounding that are risky during earthquakes and
security measure suggestions.
64
Most of the time students are at home, so that most possible they are at home when an
earthquake occurs. Therefore students also need to keep evacuation maps at home
and house surrounding. Students should also be well aware of hazard prone objects
and where they are stored at home. See Table
After we have identified dangerous objects and places, we should also identify the
location where those objects are stored as well as the hazard prone places. Through
knowledge of such objects/places will make security measures more effective in
mitigating and eliminating risks. One benefit example is the making of evacuation maps
of earthquake prepared classroom, school and house surroundings.
Maps of classroom, school and house surroundings for self-rescue are pictures or site
plans that visualize the location, direction, and position of various components within the
mapped area.
65
Picture 2 B Sample of evacuation path
The evacuation site plans of classroom, school and house surroundings for self-rescue
purpose include information regarding all objects existing in the classroom, school and
house surroundings, their risk hazard, location of safe areas, location of hazard areas,
and the locations where students should exercise caution. Such kind of site plan
contains a guideline regarding self-rescue paths, where to come together and take
shelter when earthquakes occur.
Pictures 2 A and B show samples of classroom evacuation maps, and Picture 3 shows
a sample of a school surrounding site plan.
66
Sample of a school surrounding site plan.
The following steps are necessary to make earthquake alertness evacuation maps of
classroom/school surrounding/house surrounding:
1. Register all objects and places in classroom, school or house surroundings that
contain risk hazard. This risk hazard identification can be done through
observation of the position of goods, stability of the goods, sturdiness, weight,
and shifting possibility during an earthquake occurrence.
67
2. Reach agreement for using symbols in the maps to depict a mapped object at a
location. Symbol samples are for instance arrows to show directions, small
rectangulars for desks, small circles for chairs, etc.
3. Identify safe places in classroom, school and house surroundings. A place in the
classroom or school surrounding or house surrounding is considered safe, when
there are no risk hazard objects at the place or the place is free from falling
debris. Therefore safe places are usually open or flat space, without large trees
or earthquake prone buildings.
4. Draw site plans of classroom, school and house surroundings, by using
classroom walls as reference to place objects or apply markings. When making a
site plan outside the room, fix the direction, school/house position by using
natural objects or direction points of the compass as orientation point. When
using direction points of the compass, always place the north position on the
upper side of the site plan.
5. Apply markings on site plan places in classroom, school and house surroundings
by numbering, based on places to be first evacuated.
6. Discuss and then do arrow marking to mark safe evacuation paths for passing
through during earthquakes.
7. Discuss agreement on a place for taking shelter during earthquakes, apply
marking of that place.
8. Also discuss regarding a certain preferable place to come together during and
after earthquakes. This is very important because it is most possible that during
an earthquake everybody is panicking so that they become separated from one
another.
9. If needed, an alternative evacuation path can be chosen which should only be
used if the main evacuation path cannot be used.
10. All members of the school community should agree on one place to come
together during earthquakes.
68
Learning Activities
a. Tools/Material
• Several photos/pictures depicting damage caused by earthquakes
• Sample of a classroom evacuation site plan
• Sample of a school surrounding site plan
• Song text for scouts North-North East
• Colored pencils (Red, Yellow, and Green)
• Drawing paper
b. Preparation
• All tools and material should be ready before the learning activity begins, if not
available, probably teacher can make by him/herself, for instance a “fictitious”
classroom site plan
d. Learning Steps
Initial Activities
• The learning activity is started by teacher by giving information about
earthquakes and through questions and answers, teacher identifies hazard.
• The teacher emphasizes that when an earthquake occurs, ground surface may
be shaking and trembling. Teacher also emphasizes to students that earthquake
risk hazard can take the shape of injuries, loss of property, fear, and even
deaths, and concur with opinions made by students, by showing pictures of
damage caused by earthquakes, for instance as follows (or any other suitable
pictures):
• Teacher also says that risks are often not caused by the shaking or trembling of
the earth’s surface, but on the contrary by falling objects or getting stricken by
heavy articles or debris from damaged and fallen objects.
69
• Teacher informs that to prevent or at least mitigate possible risk hazard, we
should be well aware of our surroundings, such as our classroom, school, and
houses.
• Teacher informs that students will today learn about their surroundings and learn
how to make “earthquake alert” evacuation maps of the classroom, school and
house surroundings.
Core Activities
• Teacher divides students into groups of 3-4 persons and provides information
that they should work in groups to identify all objects existing in the classroom,
and then discuss the safe places in the evacuation plan that the teacher has
already distributed, and begin with making an evacuation plan of their own
classroom.

___________________________________________________________
(Answers may be variable, for instance: Risky places are places in the classroom
with many hanging objects that can fall down, and crash during an earthquake.
Whereas less risk hazard places or safe places in the classroom are those
without many hanging objects that may fall down or crash).
• It is deemed necessary to inform students that in fact during an earthquake the
school itself may collapse and fall on all objects inside. Then ask them to discuss
how to rescue themselves, or what they should do, and then write discussion
results into the space provided in the Student Activity Sheet.
___________________________________________________________
___________________________________________________________
(Most possible student answers are variable, for instance running out of the
classroom or taking shelter underneath a strong desk).
Activity-2 Identify safe places and hazard prone places in the classroom
• Based on information obtained by students during Activity -1, they are requested
to define safe or hazard places onto a classroom site plan, by different colors.
For instance red color to indicate a hazard prone place, yellow for caution, and
green for safe area. Activity -1 Student Activity Sheet-02.
• Each group is also requested to discuss safe paths for passing through during
earthquakes. They can provide suggestions for improvement of the path already
mentioned on the map.
• They are requested to discuss their work results before exchanging these with
other groups for the purpose of receiving criticism and input.
East – southeast
South – southwest
West – northwest
North – northeast
by pointing to the directions, teacher should first sing the song so that students
can follow along.
• In order to clarify information, teacher can make use of the school surrounding
site plan sample (Picture 2).
71
• Students are requested to make their own classroom and school surrounding site
plans by applying symbols of certain objects and places in line with the true
classroom condition. So is also the case with school surrounding, students
should draw buildings or trees or other natural signs at positions which are more
or less in line with the original condition.
• Students are requested to apply color markings against the places in the
classroom and school surrounding in red, yellow, and green for hazard, cautious,
or safe places.
• Together with students, teacher concludes today’s meeting, among others:
o There exist hazard prone objects and places in the classroom and school
surrounding.
o Hazard occurs as the result of unstable condition of objects, which may easily
fall down or collapse, or easily break in pieces during the shaking and
trembling.
o In order to mitigate risk hazard, these objects should be stabilized as a
measure of security.
o Security measures are for instance tying up, strengthening by nails.
o Because risk hazard objects are placed in different places in the classroom,
the classroom places also have different security levels.
• Teacher gives homework to each student to make his/her own house site plans
with suggestions from parents in order to make their houses earthquake
prepared. Teacher distributes Student Activity Sheet-02 for carrying out this task.
Assessment
Assessment includes cognitive, cooperation, and performance. Cognitive is assessed
through written or verbal tests, cooperation is assessed during the learning process
through observation, whereas performance can be assessed during the learning
process when making site plans as well as the actual site plans produced.

Indicators:
Background Information
We never know when an earthquake will occur. Earthquake events cannot be avoided
or prevented, and may occur abruptly at any moment, any time, unexpected and without
warning, and also during school hours.
During a large earthquake, at first we may feel slight vibrations for a few seconds which
may turn into shaking so strong that we will not be able to stand erect any longer. Or we
may also be jolted straightaway by a dreadful first shock, a shock as strong as if our
house is being hit by a bulldozer. Then, one or two seconds later we feel the earth
shaking, and like the first condition, we feel difficulties to stand erect or have to walk
staggering to move from one place to another.
What measures should we take during conditions like these? A wrong measure can be
fatal and may result in a larger loss. Therefore, we should be able to take quick and
accurate measures during an earthquake.
In order to avoid undesired incidents, i.e. deaths or injuries in school surrounding during
an earthquake, the teachers should understand the preferable measures to be taken in
school surroundings to protect the school community from hazardous threats resulting
from earthquakes that may occur any time.
The necessary measures to take before and after an earthquake are meant to help
participants understand how to respond in a quick, accurate, and safe manner during an
earthquake, and what should be done after the earthquake has stopped.
a. During an earthquake
What measures should we take to save ourselves during an earthquake? The measures
are much dependent on the situation that we are in. The following are measures to take
during an earthquake, depending on what location we are at during the occurrence.
81
1. At home (inside a building)
Keep calm inside your room; do not try to run out of your house unless you are
close to a door, in which case you should run out of the house and to an open
and flat space. A vast field or open space around the house is quite a safe place
for self-rescue.
2. At school
The teachers may ask students to take shelter underneath their tables/school
desks. After the shaking stops, wait until the teacher gives instruction that the
situation is safe again. Protect your head with your schoolbag and get out from
underneath the table, then leave the classroom quickly as demonstrated during
the evacuation exercise. Do not scramble when leaving the classroom. Pay
attention to the surrounding conditions and walk out of the building calmly,
without panic, but remain alert and cautious.
4. Inside vehicles
If you are driving a car, stop the car by the roadside. Avoid stopping your car
underneath electrical cables or near a multistoried building, above a bridge or
underneath a flyover. If you are forced to stop in an unsafe area, get out
immediately, and keep your distance from the car. Remain cautious, provided
there is ground fissure or fire.
It is advisable that passengers ask the driver to stop the car in a safe area, and
remain in the car by holding on tight.
6. In the kitchen
Switch off the stove if it is on at the time. Detach the gas hose from the gas
stove. Immediately search for shelter at an area safe from possible ruins.
82
b. After an earthquake
A moment after an earthquake abates, pay good attention to the situation around
you, and make sure that there are no more dangerous objects falling down.
Immediately carry out evacuation i.e. self-rescue measure to move to another place
which is safer. A schoolyard, field, or an open space can present an appropriate
evacuation place.
In order that students are accustomed and take evacuation steps without any doubt
when an earthquake occurs, or after an earthquake abates, also in facing the
possibility of aftershocks, it is necessary for students to undertake routine
evacuation exercises.
Before carrying out evacuation exercises, the teachers should understand the basic
evacuation principles for students beforehand, which are:
83
4. Make sure of that the total number of students before they leave the room and
after they arrive at the shelter place matches.
5. If the total number is short from the previous total, the teacher should search for
the absent students
6. The teacher should remain at ease and capable of calming down students as
well as coordinate with other teachers.
7. The teacher coordinates with the local disaster management unit (Satkorlak) and
should always keep abreast of information via radio or other available ways of
communication.
Teachers ought to remain calm during the evacuation process, and not panic as this
will induce students to panic as well. Talk calmly and give clear instructions to the
students during the evacuation process.
Panic, anxiety, and shock, often result in physical symptoms like nausea, feeling
dizzy, or stomachaches.
84
d. Demonstrating self-rescue activities.
85
Learning Activities
a. Tools/Material:
• Classroom evacuation map
• School surrounding evacuation map
• Poster of an earthquake’s impact
• Poster regarding self preservation
• Schoolbag
• Whistle
b. Preparation:
Prepare classroom and school surrounding evacuation maps from previous activities
already containing evacuation paths from classroom to safe places in the schoolyard
or other safe places.
c. Learning Steps
1. Initial Activities
The teacher asks students what should be done if they are in school during a
sudden earthquake. Let students answer according to their own opinions and
teacher writes student answers on the white board.
The teacher shows the risks that may occur when students are in the building
(classroom) during an earthquake. He/she then asks what should be done to
mitigate risks.
2. Core Activities
86
a. Stooping b. Protecting c. Holding firmly
d. The teacher invites all students to simulate the movement given as example
in step c, with the following stages:
1) Students are requested to repeat them while in their respective chairs.
2) The teacher informs that a whistle sound will indicate that an earthquake
is occurring. During the earthquake students are asked to exercise self
preservation as already demonstrated, and may not leave the room until
instructed to do so by the teacher.
3) The teacher blows the whistle as the signal that an earthquake is
occurring; students start to take shelter underneath the tables.
4) After all students have taken shelter, teacher checks correctness of self
preservation by the students and gives feedback.
5) The teacher asks the students to leave the self preservation place.
6) For consolidation, teacher and students repeat phases 1) up to 5) until all
procedures have been executed in a harmonious, quick, and safe manner.
87
4) Before the teacher leaves the classroom, he/she should make sure that
there is no student left behind in the classroom. The teacher leaves the
classroom last.
5) In the field/evacuation place the teacher recounts the total number of
students.
6) The teacher provides a directive to students on what to do at the evacuation
place; do not leave the evacuation place. In order not to panic the teacher
invites students to participate in many activities such as praying and singing.
7) Evacuation is finished.
8) For the purpose of consolidation, the teacher and students repeat stage 1)
up to 5) until the whole procedure is completed in a harmonious, fast and
safe manner.
9) If there are students who are injured and cannot walk out of the room
they should be assisted. The method of evacuating victims and
providing first help is discussed in module 6 regarding procedures
and equipments for first help.
Give opportunity for students to discuss the just implemented activities. Encourage
students to raise questions and discuss self preservation methods.
Together with the students, the teacher concludes today’s meeting, amongst
others:
• During an earthquake, students should implement self preservation
activities immediately without waiting for instructions from the teacher.
• After the earthquake abates, measures to evacuate students from the
classroom are implemented after an instruction is given by the teacher.
• At the evacuation place, appropriate activities are conducted to lessen
panic and stress.
3. Final Activity
Teacher summarizes the learning results by requesting students to answer the
following questions:
1. What measures should be taken during an earthquake, while your are in the
classroom?
2. Demonstrate self the preservation measures which should be taken during an
earthquake (take shelter inside the classroom).
3. What measures should be taken after an earthquake occurs, while you are in
the classroom?

Background Information
A. Introduction
During a disaster, there will definitely be victims, because an event is still not
considered disaster if there are no victims, such as deaths, damage to property, social
structure, infrastructure or environmental damage. Sometimes the number of victims is
not the direct result of the disaster, but victims can still fall because of inappropriate
first aid. Therefore, we should improve our understanding regarding the principles and
procedures as well as skills in dealing with disaster victims.
A moment after the occurrence of a disaster, while panic and total confusion still rules,
we are demanded to keep our calmness and thoughtfulness in coping, especially when
we are in the midst of a disaster that happens suddenly. If we experience a disaster and
are spared, we should be willing to help the victims, and communicate their condition to
outsiders for the purpose of receiving help and coordination of other problems.
Example: If a victim suffers a wound that is bleeding a little, try as quickly as possible to
stop the bleeding in order to prevent the victim of experiencing blood shortage, for
instance by using a sterile bandage. The mistake of not using a sterile bandage can
cause an infection which may further worsen the victim’s condition.
91
Example: When helping someone who is drowning in a river, the helper should be able
to swim and understand the condition of the river current. This is to prevent the helper
from also drowning, and raise more victims.
Example: A burn victim should not be given first aid by applying soy sauce or tooth
paste, because when arriving at the hospital, before dealing with the wound a medical
aide will first of all have to clean the soy sauce or tooth paste from the wound, and this
would definitely takes valuable time.
Example:
• Take encouraging measures such as informing that help will be coming soon,
that the wound is not that serious.
• Wrap a burn with young banana leaves.
• Victim
The main aid component is victim as the person who needs help
• Helper
A helper is someone whose condition is better than the victim’s, with willingness and
ability to apply first aid.
• Sickness/injury
Sickness/injury is a condition which makes a victim suffer, it may include physical or
psychological sickness. What should be known regarding sickness/injury is the
injury/sickness type, treatment principles, and methods of administering first aid.
• Aid medium
92
Aid medium is a means that can be utilized as support for first aid efforts. Aid medium
can take the shape of standard equipments or alternative tools existing in the
environment that can be functioned to administer aid. The purpose of aid equipment is
to cover, bind, hold, pull, and transport in the framework of administering aid.
1. Breathing disorder,
2. Bleeding,
3. Loss of consciousness,
4. Bone fractures
93
C. Recognizing wounds and how to deal with them
1. Bleeding wounds
A bleeding wound may occur during an earthquake disaster for instance by being
pierced by building material, struck down by building debris, scratched by a sharp object
and several other causes. Keep in mind that a bleeding wound can be quite dangerous
and should straightaway be treated because of several factors:
• Whenever there is a loss of blood exceeding 20% of the total blood in a human
body, this may cause unconsciousness and when no immediate help is given
could result in death.
The method of calculating the tolerance limit level of blood volume loss is as
follows: Assume that in normal condition blood volume in a human body is 70-
100 ml of body weight per kilogram. For example, Amir weighs 20 kg, thus his
blood volume should at least be 70 ml X 20 = 1400 ml or 1.4 liter. So Amir most
likely will loose consciousness (in shock) if he loses blood totaling 20% x 1.4 liter
or 280 ml or 0.28 liters.
a. Internal bleeding
Internal bleeding occurs when there is an internal body wound, although no blood has
left the body. Body parts that often experience internal bleeding are the thoracic cavity,
the stomach cavity and the head cavity.
Applying aid is through calming down the victim, and by taking him/her to the
Puskesmas or Hospital as quickly as possible, because the treatment is limited to those
with special competence.
b. External bleeding
94
External bleeding occurs when skin is scratched and blood seeps out of the body
through the wound/scratch.
Although the body has the ability to stop bleeding, it is necessary to apply first aid
against a bleeding wound. The main principle is to stop bleeding, which can be done
through:
Treatment of wounds
Treatment of a wound is usually effected by bandaging. The following procedures
should be addressed during bandaging:
95
bleeding: applying pressure, bandaging, bandaging and applying pressure (tourniquet)
and total bandaging.
When trying to stop bleeding, do not bind too loose as blood will not stop, but also do
not bind too tight, as this will stop blood from flowing to the wounded area. Therefore it
is necessary to ask a victim, whether the bandage is too loose or too tight. When no
response can be obtained from the victim, the bandage tightness is done in such a way,
until the pulse in the lower course of the bandage can still be felt.
2. Burn
A burn may occur because of fire resulting from an electrical short-circuitry, a stove or
machinery.
1) Percentage
Based on burned body parts, the percentages of burned body
surface can be observed in picture 1 as follows:
Total: 100
2) Degree Picture 1: Percentages of burned body surface
The degree refers to the depth level of burn suffered by a victim. Four degrees of burn
depth exist, and the symptoms are as presented in Table 1.
Degree Indications/Symptoms
1 Reddish skin but painful when touched. The burned part of
skin is only down to the epidermis
2 Skin get blistered and peeled off, painful when touched.
3 Skin get peeled off until colored white mingled with blue, not
painful even if pierced with a needle, because the burn has
96
Degree Indications/Symptoms
already damaged the nervous system network existing in the
skin.
4 Skin and flesh are already burned, in fact seen until the bone.
The victim does not feel anything around the burned area, but
feels intense heat and thirst.
b. Burn symptoms
The presence of a burn can be observed from the combination of symptoms as follows:
• Red colored skin
• Blistered skin
• Peeling off skin
• Painful when touched
• Feeling very hot
• Flesh get burned until the bones can be seen
• Stinging smell
• Feeling very thirsty
• Not bleeding
d. Treatment of burn
After having identified a burned body part, try to reduce the deepening process of the
burn, straightaway cover the wound using a sterile cloth, for instance an already
washed and ironed clean handkerchief or clean plastic.
After the wound is covered, a bandage may be applied. Bandaging a burn is different
than bandaging a bleeding wound. During bandaging a burn, it is important to be sure
that the wound is covered rather than the tightness of the bandage.
97
3. Broken bone
A broken bone wound refers to a wound which occurs on a bone, in the form of
cracking, breaking or sticking out of the body. Broken bones are injuries most common
during earthquakes. The cause of a broken bone is for instance being struck by building
debris, trampled on, getting squeezed.
Treating a broken neck is by propping up the neck to prevent any movement, whether
left and right, to and fro, as well as turning around.
A broken back does not need first aid, but needs special aid from competent persons.
What should be exercised is to make victim remain in a lying down position, and to
make use of a flat and hard palanquin when transferring the victim to a different
location.
98
When treating a victim with a broken collarbone, no splints are needed, only a shoulder
binder to retain its position and prevent the victim from stooping.
In the case of an open broken bone, first step is to cover the wound, and thereafter
conduct a fixation against the broken bone.
Keep in mind, that in treating broken bone wounds, do not try to restore the bone to its
original position, by pressing, pulling or reinserting the stuck out bone.
If no splints are available, part of the victim’s body can be utilized as a splint. For
instance in the case of a broken lower arm, fixation can be done by binding the broken
arm to the victim’s body (Picture 2).
4. Evacuation techniques
a. Definition of evacuation
Evacuation is defined as transferring a victim from one place to another with the hope of
receiving further aid, in order of his/her condition not aggravated or to prevent hazards
from other threats for instance aftershocks, landslides or fires.
b. Objectives of evacuation
The objectives of an evacuation are to protect victims from the surrounding conditions
against possible aftershocks, and to receive further aid when deemed necessary.
c. Evacuation requirements
An important requirement for evacuation is the stable condition of the victim, for
instance breathing is normal again; bleeding has stopped; victim is conscious again.
99
The above mentioned requirements may be ignored if the area where the victim is
currently located is still unsafe from hazards, for instance fire hazards.
d. Evacuation method
To evacuate in a simple manner is to transfer a victim by carrying, with or without
support tools. The transferring of a victim may be well exercised by 2 to 6 persons. In a
specific situation, evacuation may be carried out alone, for instance from inside a very
narrow collapsed building. Keep in mind that the evacuator should rely on his ability to
transfer a victim. If he/she is apparently unable, he/she should ask help from other
persons (Picture 2).
e. Evacuation equipments
Evacuation equipments are tools that can be used for transferring a victim to a safer
place. The use of evacuation equipments should be adapted to the total number of
helpers and to the injury/sickness condition of the victim
For transport we know two tools usually used i.e. a long board and a dragbar, both
functioning as palanquins. Other than these two standard tools, there are also simple
tools by utilizing surrounding objects such as a door, ladder, sofa, chair, blanket,
stocking or a rice/fertilizer bag.
Support tools for administering aid are used if the patient’s condition needs
administering aid with support tools, because there are many cases where a patient
does not need a support tool, e.g. getting knocked or bruised, ignited by fire, getting
slightly scratched and bleeding has already stopped by itself, etc. However, there a lot
of cases where the use of support tools is required to help disaster victims exist.
In this module standard support tools are introduced, i.e. support tools in line with
medical standards for helping disaster victims. These tools can be purchased, or self-
made, but most important is that these tools are capable of providing ease to patients
and helpers in coping with disaster cases.
1) Mitela or triangle cloth, with a length of ± 1 meter on each side. Mitela is used
for binding, covering, holding, and pulling in line with the needs of applying aid to
a victim.
2) Palanquin or long board is a tool used for evacuating in the shape of a wooden
long board with a size of 0, 5 m x 2 m, with holes at both sides for holding and
lifting.
100
3) Mask, in the shape of cloth with strings for tying up behind the head, this cloth
comprises 2 to 3 sterile cloths with a size of 20 cm x 10 cm. The function of a
mask is to protect the mouth and nose from smoke, dust and germs that could
hamper breathing.
4) Splints or a pair of wood to restrain bone injury, made of straight and light wood
with a thickness of 1 cm, width of 5 cm and a length according to the need. To
aid a broken arm, splints of ± 35 cm long are needed, whereas for a broken leg
splints of ± 1 m length will be needed.
Splints should be layered with thin cloth or sponge for comfortable use during a
broken bone fixation. A pair of splints and tying strings are usually enough to
treat a broken bone.
In certain cases, special splints will be needed, e.g. a broken collarbone needs
sponge wrapped with cloth in the shape of a rope to pull the shoulder straight.
Whereas a broken neck needs special splints called neck Schaller to prevent the
neck from moving.
5) Dressing cloth or fine cloth comprises sterile cloth for covering a bleeding
wound and at the same time to bind the wound cover. In the case of a certain
wound, for instance a new wound, this fine cloth should first be dipped into sterile
liquid, for instance alcohol, iodium or revanol.
7) Tensocrape is cloth 5 cm wide and about 2 meter long (sizes are variable), with
the function of supporting a body part during a bone injury, e.g. sprained,
fractured bone, bruised (but not broken). A tensocrape is used by wrapping it
around the wounded area, so that the injured area is protected and the
movement around the area is minimized.
8) Medicines refer to medicine supplies needed for first aid, i.e. medicines that are
needed during the appliance of first aid to victims.
a. Sterilization/desinfection medicines
Usually in liquid form to mitigate the infection danger of a bleeding wound.
Medicine types are among others: mercurochrome, revanol, iodium tincture,
alcohol, iodium.
101
b. Eye medicines
Eye medicines may take the form of eye drops or eye salve, used to reduce
irritation to the eyes due to dust, for instance boracic solutions or eye drops.
c. Antibiotic medicines
Referring to pills or capsules for preventing infection for instance tetanus.
Antibiotics are usually suggested for victims with bleeding wounds resulting from
cuts by iron or other metal.
102
H. Recognizing tools/material for preparation in anticipation of earthquake
disasters
The tools and materials made available in anticipation of earthquake disasters are
aimed at mitigating risks, and for treatment besides representing means for
communication and coordination.
Besides aid tools, tools are also needed to prevent risks during an earthquake.
Some of the tools meant are for instance wooden or rattan shields, schoolbags, or
other means of self-protection.
Other than that, it is also necessary to make tools available for the anticipation of
earthquake hazards that are not directly linked to problems of personal or group
safety, which in simple terms can be grouped as follows:
1) Lighting tools
Lighting tools are essential especially during earthquakes that occur at night. A pitch
dark situation may raise more panic; therefore it is necessary to make lighting
equipments available, for instance flashlights, emergency lamps.
Igniting matches, candles, or oil lamps should be exercised with great care, avoid
places with possible oil spills or gas leaks. Prevent fire hazards as this could
aggravate the disaster.
2) Shelter tools
Shelter places need to be made ready straight away during the occurrence of an
earthquake if houses collapse. If there are any undamaged buildings felt in the
vicinity, victims can take temporary shelter there, but otherwise tents should be
erected. Canvas, cloth, plastic, sago palm, coconut leaves, weed or straw can also
be used as a temporary shelter.
When erecting a tent as a shelter place, make sure that the location is quite a
distance from structures/buildings that might tend to collapse, far away from water
flooding, and most preferably on a flat area.
3) Sleeping equipment
When an earthquake occurs at night, and after there are no more aftershocks,
attention should be paid to the sleeping arrangements of the victims. These are
among others bed sheets, plastic, boards and bamboo mats; blankets and sleeping
103
dividers. Mosquito nets should also be provided if the shelter area is known for
malaria.
If this condition lasts for more than 3 days, coping should be more specific, for
instance segregating families, partitioning, sanitation and water supply.
4) Food utensils
Food utensils comprise cooking tools such as stoves, pans, and frying-pans. If there
is a stove, make sure there is also oil. Other than that tools also are needed to get
and keep water in an appropriate sized water tank. It should also be made certain
that the water tank is equipped with a cover, to avoid pollution.
5) Communication equipment
Communication equipment is needed as means for coordination and information.
Communication tools are used for knowing certain conditions, sending news,
requesting help if unable to cope with the conditions alone. An agreement should
also be made to use traditional means of communication, for instance drums,
whistles or other signals, because in a lot of cases these traditional means of
communication can be far more effective.
104
Learning activities
a. Tools and material
• Student work sheets 01, 02, and 03 and their equipments
• Standard equipment for first aid
• Alternative tools to administer aid
b. Preparation
All support tools (standard equipment), student work sheet and modules should
already be available, and such is also the case with alternative equipments. These
activities can be conducted inside or outside of the classroom.
c. Learning steps
Initial activities
• The teacher precedes learning by telling a story about the friendship of 3
animals: a fish, a buffalo and a monkey. When rain falls, the river water surface
overflows and the fish jumps up and down in happiness. This condition makes
the buffalo and the monkey worried, because they think that their friend is in
danger. Spontaneously the buffalo jumps into the water, and tries to help his
friend. By doing this, the buffalo is in danger of drowning. Upon seeing the
incident the monkey tries to help both his friends by using a net. However the
monkey fails to help the buffalo because he is too heavy. Finally he succeeds in
catching the fish. Unexpectedly to the monkey the fish dies when on land, and
the buffalo drowns in the river. This leaves the monkey alone regretting the
incident that has befallen his two friends.
Based on the story the teacher invites participants to discuss the story and raises
the question „Why did the buffalo fail to help? “ The discussion is aimed at the
understanding that in providing help, besides willingness and sincerity, ability and
skill is also needed. Thereafter the teacher raises another question: „Why did the
monkey fail to help his two friends? “ The discussion is aimed at the
understanding that to provide help, one needs knowledge and strength.
• The trainer makes a statement that during this training delivery, participants will
learn to regard aid principles and procedures, to recognize tools needed and
demonstrate as well as put into practice various methods of administering aid
and carrying out an evacuation. The trainer also explains the importance of
knowledge, ability, and skill, to prevent new victims while administering aid.
Core activities
• The teacher provides information regarding first aid principles including the
objectives, components, requirements, and priorities.
105
• The teacher outlines the types of wounds including wound symptoms, first aid
principles, and treatment methods. Then recognition of tools and the method of
using them in administering aid.
106
• The teacher asks the participants to put whatever has been explained under the
guidance of student work sheet 04 into practice.
• The teacher gives guidance and checks the understanding of all participants and
provides feedback on mistakes.
Assessment
The assessment will be a performance, observed by the students and carried out in
team work.

STUDENT ACTIVITY SHEET-01
Objective:
Participants will be able to simulate the treatment and bandaging techniques of
bleeding wounds.
Activities
The principle of treating bleeding wounds is to as quickly as possible stop blood outflow,
because it can be fatal if blood outflow exceeds 20% of the total blood in the body.
The next principle is to as quickly as possible cover the wound, because open skin
presents an entrance for bacteria and other germs to the body. A sterile cloth should be
used when applying a bandage to prevent the wound from catching an infection, or one
should apply disinfectant to the wound if available.
Another important point is that the bandage applied to a wound should not be too tight,
because this might obstruct other body parts, or too loose, because otherwise the
bleeding will not stop. If the victim is conscious please ask him/her about the bandage
tightness, but if the victim is unconscious one should check for pulse signs around the
wound area.
109
5. After applying a pressing tool, bind the wound straightaway using the next method.
1. Determine if the wound needs a pressing tool or not, if considered necessary apply
a pressing tool.
110
6. If a wound exists on the chin or upper forehead, a triangular cloth is needed to
prevent the bandage from coming loose.
111
3. Bandage the wound starting from the wound area; pull
both ends of the mitela to behind the knee, cross them.

STUDENT ACTIVITY SHEET-02
OBJECTIVE:
Participants will be able to simulate burn treatment techniques.
ACTIVITY STEPS
The first process of administering aid to a burn victim is to prevent the burn from
deepening, by pouring cold fluid onto the wound, i.e. clean water or antibiotic medicine.
This is necessary because in general, a burn tends to undergo a deepening process if
no appropriate measures are taken.
Avoid adding any substances to the wound because it may complicate further
treatment. After having carried out the measure as good as possible, cover the wound
straight away. This is necessary to prevent germs or dirt from entering through the open
skin. It is suggested that before covering with cloth, one should first cover the wound
with a sterile substance, cold and not sticking against the wound, because if the wound
is immediately covered with cloth, when replaced the cloth will stick to the wound. The
internal part of a coiling young banana leaf is suitable to function as a layer.
1. After having tried best to prevent the wound from deepening, cover the wound
with a sterile substance, cold and not sticking against the wound, e.g. the internal
part of a still coiling, young banana
leaf. After having layered the wound,
cover it with a folded mitela like a
ribbon with
Banana leaf sufficient width,
starting from the
wound area.
113
3. The covering does not have to be tight, but
should cover the whole wound area.
114
8. Bandaging starts from the wound area, pull the cover ends to behind the wound,
then pull again up front to the direction of above the wound.

STUDENT ACTIVITY SHEET - 03
Objective:
Activities:
The main principle in dealing with a broken bone is to minimize the movement of the
broken bone, with the aim of preventing friction between the two broken bone tips,
because it may worsen the fracture, and squeeze the muscle/tissue sticking to the
bone.
In all broken bone cases, particularly in the case of an open broken bone, it is not
allowed to restore or try restore the bone position, either through massaging, pulling or
pressing, what is important is just to rest the broken bone.
Should there be wounds around the broken bone area, which are bleeding or a burn
wound, these should be attended to first before attending to the broken bone wound.
116
Activity 1: Treatment of broken bone wounds on cylindrical body parts (legs and
arms)
1. When a victim suffers from a broken thigh, lay down the victim with straight legs
2. Prepare five mitelas already folded in the shape of ribbons
3. Fasten one splint against the outer side of victim’s leg, tie mitela from the splint’s
upper end around the victim’s waist, fasten another splint along the inner side of the
victim’s leg
4. Insert 4 mitelas under victim’s leg, and fasten on the hip, above the knee, below the
knee and above the heel. Tie up mitelas starting from top to bottom
5. When there is only 1 splint, the healthy leg can replace another splint, whereas the
procedure and the method of binding is similar to activities 3, 4 and 5.
117
Activity 2: Treatment of a broken neck bone
1. Arrange the victim to stand up or sit down, with his/her head in an upright position
2. Drape a splint around the victim’s neck
3. When there is no splint available, use a pair of open-toe slippers or banana stem or
cardboard with a length matching the victim’s neck, whereas the width is arranged to
match the victim’s neck’s length.
Thereafter cover the slippers/banana stem/ cardboard with mitela, place 1 slipper on
the front part of the neck then tie up to behind the neck, and 1 other slipper to
behind the neck, then tie up both slippers
4. Make sure that the victim’s neck is immobilized or prevented from moving
5. When using banana stem/cardboard encircle this object already covered with a
mitela around the victim’s neck and tie up both ends.
118
Activity 3: Treatment of broken collarbone wounds
6. Drape mitela from behind the neck, pull mitela ends to the back via both the victim’s
armpits, then tie up both mitela ends with a firm knot
7. Pull one remaining mitela up/to the mitela behind victim’s neck, then pull firmly and tie
up to the other mitelas end.
119
Activity 4: Treatment of broken backbone wounds
1. Lay the victim on his/her back, and ask the victim to keep still
120
4. Insert a stretcher underneath the victim, and then
the victim is again put to lie on his/her back on the
stretcher. Arrange so that the victim’s position is in
the middle of the stretcher, if the stretcher is
narrow; tie the victim up to prevent him/her from
falling while being evacuated.
1. For example, a victim suffers from broken left thigh and bone fragments are sticking
out
2. Place the victim in the most comfortable position and comfort him/her to help ease
the pain
3. Do not change the position of the legs, do not try to insert back the stuck out bone.
4. Cover stuck out bone straightaway with a sterile cloth if bleeding occurs on the
wound area, the bleeding wound should be treated first through covering and
bandaging it.
5. Place a pair of splints of 1 meter length underneath the broken leg and above the
broken leg
6. Bind the splint and the leg above the area of the broken thigh
7. Bind splint and leg below the area of the broken thigh
8. Binds splint and leg where the two legs meet
9. Bind both splints at the end of each splint.

STUDENT ACTIVITY SHEET-04
Objectives:
• Participants will be able to simulate techniques of carrying a victim lying on
his/her back
• Participants will be able to make and demonstrate evacuation procedures using a
stretcher made of cloth/sack/undershirt
• Participants will be able to demonstrate the activity of carrying and evacuating a
victim alone.
Activities
The objective of an evacuation is to protect a victim from the possibility of further
disaster or to provide further aid to the victim.
In the case of a helper, consideration should be given to the physical strength of
carrying a victim, the victim’s weight, the number of helpers, and the surrounding
environment, where the victim should be carried to as well as knowledge of the types of
wounds and their dealing methods. Whereas in the case of the victim, consideration
should be given to when to evacuate after his/her condition becomes stable, i.e. not
suffering from breathing problems and the wound is already treated. However which is
to be done first, to treat or to evacuate? The answer is, if the surrounding condition is
safe, wound treatment should take precedence, but if the surrounding condition
warrants evacuation, it should be effected immediately, for instance in a situation where
there are hazard like fire, flood or earthquake aftershocks, then most important will be
how to save the victim first without dealing with the wounds suffered.
122
2. The helper is in a squatting position next to the
victim with his right knee standing, whereas his
left leg is resting on the floor.
3. One hand under the victim and one hand above the victim
depending on strength. The strong hand is to be placed
under the victim’s body.
8. The lowering method is done in the same manner, but done the other way
around.
123
Activity 2: Helping a victim using a stretcher out of cloth
10. Lowering the victim is done in the same manner, but done the other way around.
124
12. Take two straight canes/bamboo of 2 m length
13. Place them parallel to each other, then insert the sarong/sack or undershirt
underneath them.
14. Place the victim in between the two canes above the sarong/sack/undershirt
15. Helpers hold the cane tips so that 4 persons are needed
16. Position of the helpers and evacuation method is similar to evacuation with a
stretcher from cloth.
125
5. If the victim can stand up, the helper stands opposite of
the victim
6. Helper stops and places the victim’s stomach on his
shoulder, while the other hand is holding the victim’s
hand
8. The lowering method is similar to the picking up, but done the other way around and
then the victim is put to rest on his/her back
9. This method is not allowed to be exercised with a victim that has a broken backbone
or a broken neck bone.
Put the victim to rest on his/her back, bind both hands in front of the body
3. This method is not allowed with a victim who has a backbone injury or a broken neck
4. When the situation is no longer dangerous, the victim’s injuries should receive
treatment first, especially breathing and bleeding problems.

Module 8 Earthquake Disaster Management at Home
Competence:
Participants will be able to understand the necessary measures to take before, during,
and after the occurrence of an earthquake.
Indicators:
• Participants will be able to identify the measures that should be taken before an
earthquake occurs
• Participants will be able to identify the measures that should be taken during the
occurrence of an earthquake.
• Participants will be able to identify the measures that should be taken after the
occurrence of an earthquake.
Training Steps
1. The participants are divided into several groups. Within each group there are
members who play the role of a father, a mother, and children or other family
members.
2. Each group holds a discussion to identify objects in the house surrounding that
present risk hazards if an earthquake occurs (kitchen, bedroom, dining room,
carport, garden, etc.).
3. Each group identifies the places in the house surrounding that can be used as
temporary shelter when an earthquake occurs.
4. Each group makes an evacuation map based on the identification results.
5. Write discussion results on zopp cards (if available), stick them onto the provided
white board.
6. Conduct a discussion on the group activity results in the class forum.
7. The consultant is responsible for bringing up problems to open participants’
perceptions concerning the measures that should be taken to anticipate an
emergency condition during an earthquake.
For instance: experiencing an earthquake while on the road
experiencing an earthquake while at the station, etc.
8. Develop ideas to spread this program to the neighbors of each participant’s
house.
9. If it is possible, carry out a simulation of an evacuation when an earthquake
occurs (arrange classroom) while a family is having dinner.
10. Discuss the role/task of each family member in anticipating the possibility of an
earthquake occurrence, either before, during, or after an earthquake. Write the
results into the following table:

A. Background Information
It cannot be forecasted when Earthquakes will occur, and the occurrence cannot be
avoided or prevented. Earthquakes can unexpectedly occur at any time. Therefore,
we should take quick and accurate measures before, during, and after there are
earthquake vibrations. Mistakes in the measures can result in losses, such as
injuries, disablement, or even deaths.
In this module measures are presented that are to be taken before, during, and after
the occurrence of an earthquake. These are meant to assist parents so that they
understand how to prepare themselves in dealing with earthquakes, to provide quick
as well as accurate response during earthquakes, and to take measures after the
earthquake has stopped.
1. Make sure that the structure and location of houses are free from risk hazards
caused by earthquakes, for instance a landslide or an avalanche.
2. If your house is located in a disaster prone region, please be alert and cautious.
136
3. Evaluate and renovate building structures for the
prevention of earthquake disaster hazards.
4. Observe the location of doors, emergency stairs,
and other objects at home for the purpose of
knowing the safest places to take shelter during an
earthquake.
5. Learn how to handle fire extinguishing equipment.
6.
7. Prepare important telephone numbers to contact during earthquakes.
8. Arrange cabinets to be fastened to
walls (nailed/bound) to prevent them
from tipping over, collapsing, or
shifting during earthquakes.
137
16. Prepare slippers near the exit door for use during self-rescue to be protect your
feet from sharp objects.
1. If inside buildings
138
3. If you live or stay in a coastal area, keep away from the coast to avoid a tsunami.
4. If you live or stay at a mountain range, keep away from landslide prone areas.
5. If you happen to be above a bridge, run away immediately, to avoid the possibility
of the bridge collapsing close to you.
139
4. Avoid walking close to high buildings, electrical circuitry, and bridges to anticipate
the possibility of aftershocks.
5. Listen to information regarding the development on the radio or television
(regarding the possibility of aftershocks).
