In my country, we have a lot of them... so:
1. If you are indoors, and if your home is in a city, don't go outside. Place yourself under a door, usually the structure of the building is stronger there. If not possible, get behind a strong table or something that will protect you from falling objects.
2. If you are outdoors, find a place where nothing can fall down on you, as a park or so. The floor moving is not going to hurt you, but thing falling might do it. Try to avoid windows. The broken glass is very dangerous.
3. If you are driving, don't cross bridges or go behind them. If you could drive to an open location, it's always good.
And, in all situation, remain calm and turn on the radio/TV to be update of all that is happening.

During an earthquake.
Stay calm if you are indoors, stay indoor if out doors, stay outdoors. Many injuries occur as people enter or leave the buildings.

If you are in outdoor stay in the open , keep away from over head electric wires. and bridges,
Don’t use open flames, if you are in a moving vehicle stop away from over bridges and stay inside the vehicle still earthquake stops.

If you can get outside away from windows of tall objects is good.
Otherwise stay away from windows and under a strong structure like a strong table or inner doorway.
