From time to time earthquakes occur in different parts of the world. An earthquake is a natural disaster and can be as devastating as a tsunami, famine or flood. Many a times natural calamities left people stunned and shocked and after they were over they became helpless. We have shared here various samples of speech on earthquake. With these samples, you can prepare a speech on earthquakes in your own language.
Long and Short Speech on Earthquake in English
Respected Principal, Teachers and Dear Students!
First of all I would like to thank the school authority for inviting me for the annual festival of my school. I am working with Environmental Hazards and Disaster Management, India. Today I am going to share some important information about earthquake.
All you young and intelligent children are the future of our country. You should be aware of some important steps to be taken in case of natural calamity. I am sure you will remember that the 2001 Gujarat earthquake is also known as the Bhuj earthquake. On 26 January, when the whole of India was celebrating Republic Day, it was the biggest earthquake that occurred on that day.
The devastating earthquake lasted nearly two minutes in which many school children, including 19727 people, died and about 166,000 people were injured.
I'm sure you know that earthquakes make the earth tremble. When pieces of the Earth's crust move suddenly, it causes earthquakes. The outer layer of the Earth, which is thin, is like a hot stone deep inside the Earth, rather than being cold and fragile. The thin layers are filled with small and large cracks called faults. These faults can be very long but we usually cannot see the cracks because they are hidden deep inside the earth and the earth's crust is very strongly compressed together.
The dominant forces that compress the crust fragments cause the Earth to move more slowly. The Earth's crust remains together for many years but eventually the dominant force that pushes them causes them to break into pieces and move. Such sudden movement in the rock shifts all the rocks around which is called earthquake.
All of you should be aware of the steps to be taken during and after an earthquake. When an earthquake occurs, you should reduce the movement of your body. You should know that most of the injuries occur during earthquakes because people are over-excited and tend to move around as a result of falling and falling victim to brain and head injuries. You must make sure that your head and body are protected. If you have a chance to leave the school premises after the earthquake is over, use the stairs instead of the elevator. Post-earthquake tremors and power outages can shut down the elevator. Before you leave your school premises or your home, you must ensure that there is no debris or building that can fall on you.
If you are at the playground or away from home, you should only return after local officials have confirmed security around you. You should take care of your relatives, neighbors, friends and yourself and get first aid in case of any injury.
It is commonly observed that after a devastating earthquake, mild tremors continue in the earth. You should prepare for possible landslides and aftershocks, even a major disaster. If you feel any post-earthquake aftershocks then you should take yourself to a safe place and sit in that place. Another thing that should be considered is the fire. If you see a small fire anywhere, try to extinguish it.
Most of the time people get stunned in the event of an earthquake. If the earthquake lasts for a long time, it can prove to be devastating. You have to not only protect yourself but also save others. Be careful not to stir in the earth and act wisely.

Today is World Disaster Reduction Day and I have been specially called for this meeting to apprise you about some important steps taken by our company to prevent natural calamities. One of the most dangerous natural disasters is earthquake and we all know how dangerous the occurrence of earthquake can be if proper care is not taken.
Earthquake conditions arise due to the sudden and strong shaking of the earth due to the sliding of the stone layer. The initial slight tremors can prove to be extremely dangerous within a few seconds. In most cases additional aftershocks known as earthquake effects may follow the initial earthquake.
Earthquakes can occur at any time or day of the year and can occur without warning. Even though earthquakes normally last less than a minute, the after-effects of an earthquake are sometimes more dangerous. These effects can last for a few hours, days, weeks or even months. Although scientists are working on it, earthquakes cannot be predicted.
Our office has taken important measures to prevent disasters resulting from earthquakes. Although our office is built on 'earthquake free' technology, it is important that we make ourselves aware and act wisely in the event of an earthquake. You should be aware of the steps to be taken in this situation whether you are in office premises or at your home.
When you feel an earthquake-like movement, check the safety of anything that could fall and injure you, such as water heaters, computers, TVs, music systems, mirrors, bookshelves, and light fixtures. You should practice this thing how to walk on the ground, how to cover your head with arms and cover your neck etc. If you see a safe place nearby then you should try to reach it without wasting time. Crawled to keep cover.
Even though you may sometimes be surprised or surprised when an earthquake strikes, you should act swiftly and try to store essential items such as medicines, water and documents. You should also plan and practice with family members how you would communicate with each other in such a situation. Creating an emergency communication plan for the family and including in a variety of ways can be of help in cases of crisis.
It is also necessary to consult a structural engineer to examine your home in weak and strong areas from an earthquake perspective.
Earthquake or any natural calamity is dangerous and these disasters also damage many buildings including loss of life. When earthquakes and tremors stop, you should look around for opportunities for safety. In the event of an earthquake, you should immediately leave your place and move to an open place like a field. If you or others get hurt, the first thing to do is to check it out and if you have been trained, provide first aid to the person who is injured. If you are safe and without injury, you should also assist with rescue operations. Do not attempt to remove heavy debris yourself. You may also need to provide emotional support to many troubled and grieving people while assisting with rescue operations.
The severity of an earthquake depends on its focal point, which can cause the collapse of buildings due to the shaking of several places or movement in the foundation. This can damage many useful things or even cause explosion and fire. Thus you should be careful and act wisely in such situations.
Good morning Honorable Principal Madam, teachers and my dear friends!
As we know that our region has recently witnessed an earthquake which has caused great loss of life and property to the people. Many buildings collapsed and people living in the buildings were either killed or seriously injured. While helping the victims, our school has organized a camp to revive the lives of those who have suffered losses due to the destruction caused by the earthquake. Students and others who are interested in volunteering to help those in need with food, clothing, etc. can visit the camps in the school's playground. We are sympathetic to all and I hope everyone gets enough help but before the camp starts I want to discuss some information about the damage caused by the earthquake because it is very important to understand the reason behind the earthquake today. has become important.
So what exactly is an earthquake? The vibrations of the earth's surface are known as earthquakes. Earthquakes are caused by volcanic activity or movement around geological faults. Earthquakes result in the release of energy in the Earth's lithosphere which causes seismic waves. Seismic waves are the vibrations that we feel during an earthquake. Earthquakes can be measured by the frequency, type and size of the earthquake experienced. Some earthquakes are less damaging because of their low frequency, while others are so violent that they can destroy everything.
There are many places around the world such as China, Japan which have seen the worst and most destructive earthquakes while some places like Antarctica have seen minor earthquakes. By scale, Asia has seen the maximum number of earthquakes. Many countries around the world have suffered the most due to earthquakes.
We need to take strict action to control or reduce the occurrence of earthquakes. The main reason for the increase in earthquakes these days is environmental degradation. Deforestation, high presence of CO2 in the atmosphere, lack of water bodies, volcanic eruptions are some of the main reasons for the occurrence of earthquakes on the earth. We have to understand the importance of nature. We must protect the water bodies before reducing or using it carefully and through rainwater harvesting. Planting more and more trees wherever possible in our environment can be of great help in this matter. Reducing the use of fuels that produce CO2 or other harmful gases will help reduce pollution that lead to climate change and many other problems.

This is the right time when there is a need to save the earth from such harmful calamities which are born due to humans and this is possible only when we take some such effective measures.
With this I end my words and would like to give special thanks to our honorable Principal Madam for making such a great and big effort to help the earthquake victims and to help all the students, teachers and people. To make this camp a success, now students and others can reach the camp in the playground in the school.
Thanks and have a nice day all of you.
Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen!
First of all I would like to thank you all for your cooperation in this event which is organized to spread awareness among people about earthquake. As we all know that the occurrence of earthquakes in our country is increasing day by day and thus it becomes important for everyone to take necessary steps to save lives. Our motive behind this incident is to make people aware and prepare them to take preventive measures against earthquake.
Every year there is a huge destruction of life and property due to earthquake and this destruction is increasing rapidly due to degradation of environment. Earthquakes shake the surface of the earth which can give rise to many geological factors. This results in seismic waves or vibrations. An earthquake can be mild and harmless, or it can be dangerous and destructive. They are also known to give rise to other calamities like tsunami, flood, landslide, avalanche etc. These are unpredictable and can happen anytime or anywhere. Scientists are working to identify ways to predict earthquakes. Usually an earthquake lasts less than a minute but it does not have to happen every time.
Recently, India felt the earthquake in Gurgaon and Haryana at 4:30 am and its scale was 4.4 on the Richter scale. This surprised the people living in that area. Not only India but other countries around the world have also experienced earthquakes before. There are countries like America, Japan, China etc. which are prone to earthquakes. Most earthquakes are mild but some of them can cause severe shock, ruining people. Earthquakes can be caused by tsunamis, groundwater, avalanches, etc. This can be very dangerous in many places as it can cause movement of buildings making them prone to collapse. This can cause huge loss of properties.
There are some important measures that should be used during an earthquake to be as safe as possible. Let's say if you are in a building then walking or running at that time can be very dangerous. Therefore that person should stay at that place where he is present and should sit in hiding somewhere. Keep away from breakable things like glass, crockery etc as it is dangerous and can also cause serious bodily injury. There are many remedies that you can use in different ways depending on the place where you are. These are some of the immediate measures which should be used on time but there are some other measures which should be practiced regularly in our daily life which have long term impact on our planet like tree plantation, protect water bodies, fuel consumption cut etc.
Some activities have been organized to help people understand what they should do during an earthquake and I expect a large number of people to participate. This is the time when we will all come together to fight such shocks as earthquakes and make our earth green again.
With this, I would like to end my speech and would like to give special thanks to all those people who have supported us in organizing this event and cooperate with all the people to join and make it a success.
Thanks and hope you all have a nice day.
