In the face of earthquakes, there are a few things that ordinary people and netizens can do:

1. Do not drive to Chengdu, Dujiangyan, and Wenchuan directions on your own, including taking a plane, even if we want to go there in person to report or rescue. Because we need to leave public resources for our troops and rescuers. They are more efficient, every second counts in saving lives.

2. Phone calls may not get through, if you do manage to connect, please keep the conversation brief and leave the communication channel open for those who need it.

3. Do not believe rumors, and do not spread them. Please pay attention to authoritative media releases.

4. Do not blame seismic prediction, because no country or scientist in the world can accurately and timely predict earthquakes.

5. Our troops are already moving quickly, but due to road and weather conditions, they may not be able to reach or parachute into certain areas in time. We hope for understanding.

6. You can now not only donate money through the following methods, but also donate blood voluntarily. At this time, besides funds, blood is also needed.

7. People without earthquake experience, please do not panic. People in mildly affected areas should treat this as a simulation exercise.

8. We are not afraid of snow disasters! We are not afraid of EV71! We are not afraid of foreign media bias! We are not afraid of the Olympic torch being in danger! We are not afraid of earthquakes either!! We will definitely get through this difficult time!

9. Please forward this message to your QQ and MSN friends, thank you!
