As an expert in disaster safety, I can provide you with guidance on what to do during an earthquake.
During an earthquake, it is generally
safer to stay
inside rather than to try to run
outside. The reason for this is that the ground may be shaking, which can cause you to fall or be injured by falling or flying objects. Additionally, if you are inside a building, there is a risk that parts of the building, such as
glass,
bricks, or other structural components, could fall if you attempt to exit during the quake.
The best action to take is to find shelter under a sturdy piece of furniture, like a
table, which can provide some protection from falling debris. This is known as the "Drop, Cover, and Hold On" method. Drop to your hands and knees, cover your head and neck, and hold on to the furniture until the shaking stops.
