What this poster should focus on
If you want a practical school poster, a good angle is what to do after an earthquake: self-help and helping others. This is different from only explaining where to hide during shaking. It is more useful for showing what students should do after the shaking stops, how to stay safe, and how to support others in a careful way.
You can organize the whole poster around four key ideas: stay calm, observe, ask for help, and help wisely. This makes the content clear and suitable for school safety education.

Self-help tips
- After the shaking stops, stay calm and do not run in panic.
- Check whether you are hurt, then look around for broken glass, fallen objects, damaged walls, or wires.
- If you are indoors, follow the teacher or adult and leave in an orderly way.
- If you are trapped, save your energy and make sounds by tapping objects for help.
- Do not use fire casually, because gas leaks may cause danger.
Helping others safely
- Before helping someone, make sure your own place is safe.
- If a classmate falls down, remind others not to push or step on anyone.
- Help lightly injured students contact teachers, parents, or rescuers.
- Do not move badly injured people without guidance, to avoid more harm.
- Knowing how to ask for help is better than acting bravely without a plan.
Good section ideas for the layout
This topic works well with a step-by-step layout. Readers can understand the order quickly. You can use these sections:
- The first minute after the earthquake
- How I protect myself
- How I help others
- Safety rhymes and reminders
- Important warnings
If you have more space, add a small box for emergency supplies, such as a flashlight, water, whistle, and towel.
Short lines that are easy to remember
- Stay calm after shaking, then move with care.
- Protect yourself first, then help others safely.
- Follow instructions and leave without pushing.
- Stay away from broken walls, wires, and fire.
- If trapped, stay calm and wait for rescue.
These short lines can be placed beside the title, inside note boxes, or along the border to make the poster easier to read and remember.
Make the page clear, not crowded
Use blue, green, and orange as the main colors. They can show safety, warning, and science themes at the same time. Make the main title larger, and connect sections with arrows, note boxes, or simple shapes.
For decoration, choose small icons like a safety helmet, first-aid kit, whistle, warning sign, or helping hands. Do not fill every empty space. A clean page is easier to read.
Check these three points before finishing
- Is the content practical? Use real actions, not only general ideas.
- Is the text length balanced? Keep each section short enough to read quickly.
- Is the theme clear? Make sure every part matches the topic of post-earthquake self-help and mutual help.
