There are a number of things you can do to stay safe during an earthquake. If you are indoors, you must stay away from windows, glass, or anything that could fall, such as lighting. Then, take cover by getting under a stable table or something hard and wait until the quake stops. Don’t attempt to run outside during the quake because you may get badly injured. If you are outdoors during an earthquake, stay there, and move away from buildings and street lights because they may fall upon you at any time. And if you are in a moving vehicle during an earthquake, stop as quickly as possible and stay in the vehicle. Avoid stopping near trees, buildings, and utility wires. Lastly, if you are trapped under debris, try to cover your mouth with a handkerchief or clothing. Don’t keep shouting. Don’t light a match or move around; you may kick up dust.
