If you are indoors

If there is no sturdy furniture, kneel in the middle of the room, lower your height as much as possible and protect your head and neck with your hands. Move away from large glass surfaces (windows, glass partitions) or furniture and objects that could hurt you. Do not try to leave the house. Do not go out on the balcony.
If you are in a tall building
Move away from windows and exterior walls.
If you are in an entertainment area, shopping center or large store
be quiet. Stay in the area until the vibration stops. Don’t move erratically towards the exits by the panicked crowd or you risk being trampled.
If you are in an open area
Move away from areas under buildings, telephone or power lines. If you have a bag or briefcase, cover your head.
If you are in a car
Take shelter in the open and park the car carefully so as not to disturb the traffic. Avoid passing through tunnels, bridges or overpasses.
