Staying safe during an earthquake

Ready.gov gives tips on staying safe when an earthquake happens:

• If you are in a car, pull over and stop. Set your parking brake.
• If you are in bed, turn face down and cover your head and neck with a pillow.
• If you are outdoors, stay outdoors away from buildings.
• If you are inside, stay, do not run outside and do avoid doorways.
• Drop, cover and hold on. Wherever you are, drop down to your hands and knees and hold onto something sturdy. Cover your head and neck with your arms. If a sturdy table or desk is nearby, crawl underneath it for shelter. If you are under a table or desk, hold on with one hand and be ready to move with it if it moves.
