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. You should tap on a pipe or wall so rescuers can locate you.
