During an earthquake, we should
(a) Try to get out of the high-rise building. If you cannot get out safely, hide under a desk or a study table.
(b) Get into an open area, away from trees, buildings and power lines. In a hilly terrain, it is advisable to stay away from slopes.
(c) Not run outside blindly, one may get killed by falling bricks and debris just outside the buildings. We should not use lifts during an earthquake.
(d) Ask the driver to take the vehicle on a side of the road. If you are in a moving vehicle, keep away from the bridges, trees, buildings and power lines. Stay inside the vehicle and wait for the shaking to stop.
(e) Not rush to the roof of the house. Never enter a cracked or partially damaged house. The slightest movement may lead to its collapse. If you are in bed, protect your head with a pillow.
