What should you do during the earthquake?
Earthquakes occur without any warning and may be so violent that you cannot run or crawl. So it is best to drop before the earthquake drops you and find nearby shelter or use your arms and hands to protect your head and neck. 'drop, cover, and hold on' gives you the best overall chance of quickly protecting yourself during an earthquake. Studies of injuries and deaths caused by earthquakes show that you are much more likely to be injured by falling of flying object (TVs, lamp, glass, bookcases, etc). 'Drop, cover and hold on' will protect you from most of these injures. If there is no furniture nearby, you can still reduce the chance of injury from falling objects by getting down next to an interior wall and covering your head and neck witn your a arms. If you are in bed, the best thing to do is to stay there and cover your head with a pillow.
What Should you not to do during the earthquakes?
Do Not run outside or to other rooms during shaking.
The Area near the exterior walls of a building is the most dangerous place to be. Windows, facades and architectural details are often the first parts of the building to collapse. To stay away from this danger zone, stay inside if you are inside and outside if you are outside.
Do not stand in a doorway
In modern houses, doorways are no stronger than any other part of the house, and the doorways does not protect you from the most likely source of injury-falling or flying objects. You also may not be able to brace yourself in the door during strong shaking. You are safer under a table.
