· After
experiencing a disaster or traumatic event, people can
go through a wide range of emotions. It is important to
understand that there is no right or wrong way to feel
after these events. Nevertheless, it is crucial to find
healthy ways to deal with these emotions. Being reminded
of the event can cause people to experience it all over
again or feel like it is about to happen again, which
can lead to anxiety. By preparing an evacuation plan and
gathering emergency supplies beforehand, individuals can
feel more in control and secure in the event of an
earthquake. Therefore, it is essential to acknowledge
your emotions, find healthy coping strategies, be
mindful of triggers, create an emergency plan, and seek
professional help if needed. It’s also important to:
· Reduce the
amount of news you consume
· Make sure you
get sufficient sleep
· Create and
stick to a daily schedule
