Let's all work together to escape safely and rescue each other.

(1)How to help people trapped beneath collapsed houses.
Using a thick piece of wood or a crowbar as a lever, lift up pillars and fallen walls to create an opening. By using a carjack, which your car should be equipped with, even a small number of people can lift up fallen walls and pillars.
(2)What to do if you are trapped beneath a collapsed house.
Bang metal objects around you or cry out for help. However, be aware that continuously crying out in a loud voice will consume a lot of energy. Keep a whistle on you as a usual precaution, as blowing a whistle is the most effective method to attract attention.
(3)What can be used as an alternative to normal lighting to aid rescue efforts in the dark?
A torch or a powerful flashlight can be used as an alternative to normal lighting, but to illuminate a wide area the headlights of a car are the most useful.
(4)What can be used in place of a stretcher?
You can prepare a makeshift stretcher by passing two clothesline poles through the sleeves of two or three t-shirts or by covering the poles with blankets. If you use a stretcher, make sure you fix the patient securely to it with rope to prevent the patient from falling off. An alternative is to have the injured individual sit on a chair and two people to carry it. Even one person can help move injured people - if the area is flat, you can spread out a blanket or sheet on the floor and gently drag the injured.
