If you are inside a building, sit on the floor and go under some sturdy furniture. If there is no table or such furniture, cover your face and head with your hands and sit in a corner of the room. If you are outside the building during an earthquake, move away from the building, trees, poles and wires. If you are traveling in a vehicle during an earthquake, stop the vehicle as soon as possible and stay inside the vehicle.
If you are buried in a pile of debris, never light a match, neither move nor push anything. In the event of being buried under debris, tap lightly on a pipe or wall, so that the rescuers can understand your position. If you have a whistle, blow it. Make noise only when there is no choice. However, making noise can cause suffocating dust and dirt in your breath.
