When an earthquake strikes, how can we take emergency precautions?

Step 1: Where to run?

Evacuate immediately and run to an open area. If you are on a high floor, find sturdy furniture or walls for cover to reduce the risk of being hit by falling objects.

Step 2: Hold on tight

After finding a relatively safe shelter, be sure to hold on to a solid or fixed object to avoid secondary injuries caused by movement.

Step 3: Take good protection

When dodging, use books, backpacks, pillows, cushions and other coverings to protect important parts such as the head and back of the neck to reduce the chance of injury.
