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

1. Do not drive to Chengdu, Dujiangyan, and Wenchuan by yourself, nor take a plane, even if we really want to go there to report or rescue personally. Because we need to leave public resources for our troops and rescue personnel. They are more efficient; every second counts for saving one more person.

2. You may not be able to get through on the phone. If you do, please keep your 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 more attention to authoritative media releases.

4. Do not blame seismic prediction. No country or scientist in the world can accurately predict earthquakes in a timely manner.

5. Our troops have already moved quickly, but due to road and weather conditions, they may not be able to arrive in time or parachute into certain areas. We hope this will be understood.

6. Now you can not only donate through the following methods, but also volunteer to donate blood. At this time, besides funds, we also need blood.

7. For those without earthquake experience, please do not panic. People in areas with mild earthquakes should treat this as a simulation exercise.

8. We are not afraid of snowstorms! 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 also not afraid of earthquakes!! We will definitely get through this difficulty!

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