Safety Protocols

Concrete actions that can save lives. Practice them with your family.

A child takes cover under a sturdy table during an earthquake: drop, cover and hold on.

🌍 Earthquakes: Drop, Cover and Hold On

  1. DROP: Down to the floor, onto your knees
  2. COVER: Under a sturdy table, protect your head and neck
  3. HOLD ON: To the table legs until the shaking stops

⚠️ DO NOT: Run outside, stand in doorways, use elevators

A family walks toward higher ground, away from the rising water during a flood.

🌊 Floods

  1. MONITOR: River levels and the forecast
  2. IDENTIFY: High ground near your home
  3. EVACUATE: If the water reaches your knees
  4. NEVER: Cross moving water

✓ Rule: Turn Around, Don't Drown

Children and an adult evacuate away from a volcano, covering their nose and mouth from the ash.

🌋 Volcanic Eruptions

  1. STAY ALERT: Follow local authorities
  2. PROTECT: Your eyes, nose and mouth from ash
  3. EVACUATE: Perpendicular to the lava flow
  4. SHELTER: Indoors, seal the windows

⚠️ Ash: Do not sweep it dry, use water. It is abrasive like ground glass.

A child stays hydrated and rests in the shade on a hot day, and offers water to an older neighbor.

🏜️ Heat Waves

  1. HYDRATE: Drink water before you feel thirsty
  2. AVOID: The sun between 11am and 4pm
  3. COOL DOWN: Cold shower, damp clothes
  4. CHECK ON: Elderly neighbors and children

🚨 Emergency: Red/hot skin + confusion = heatstroke. Call an ambulance.

Family Emergency Kit

What every family should keep ready. Check it every 6 months.

Family emergency kit: water, flashlight, radio, first-aid kit and supplies neatly arranged.
AMI, the Guardians' backpack

In Equandia, AMI is the backpack that always holds the exact instrument. In the real world, your emergency kit is your very own AMI: put it together as a family and keep it ready before the Earth speaks.

🎒 The Essentials (72 hours)

  • Water (4L per person)
  • Non-perishable food
  • Flashlight + spare batteries
  • Portable radio
  • First-aid kit
  • Essential medications

📍 Meeting Plan

Set up 2 meeting points: one near home (a small fire) and another outside the neighborhood (a major disaster). Make sure everyone in the family knows them and how to get there.

Science Experiments

Learn the science of Equandia with household materials

Children simulate a tsunami in a tray with water, sand and blocks.

🌊 Tsunami Simulator

Materials: tray, water, sand, blocks

Build a coastline with sand at one end. Place "buildings" (blocks). Make a wave with your hand. Watch how the water rises higher than expected and sweeps everything away.

📚 Learn: Why you should build away from the coast

Children make a homemade baking-soda-and-vinegar volcano erupt.

🌋 Baking Soda Volcano

Materials: bottle, baking soda, vinegar, dish soap, food coloring

Put baking soda in the bottle. Mix vinegar + dish soap + food coloring. Pour it into the bottle. Eruption!

📚 Learn: Chemical reaction = gases = pressure

A vertical mesh catches fog droplets that fall into a container.

💧 Fog Catcher

Materials: frame, fine mesh, container

Set up the mesh vertically in a foggy spot. The mesh catches tiny droplets. The water condenses and drips into the container. Measure how much you catch in one night.

📚 Learn: Water condensation
