If there is earthquake, what would you do?

Answer 1

run to an open space like football field maybe :P, hahaha..or when u dont have enough time, just hid under the table (make sure it's not glass and it's strong one), in case the roof collapse :P

Answer 2

I live in San Francisco, so we have an earthquake every once in a while. All of us learn from childhood in school, to run into a doorway or under something like a table in the event of a temblor. (both doorways and tables and desks are capable of keeping us from being hit in the head by falling plaster or ceilings....they are stronger and able to withstand the shaking without collapsing in the event of a catastropic quake that can cause a roof or walls to cave in.

If we are outside, we should get away from the walls of unreinforced brick buildings and masonry that might fall or collapse, and away from walls and windows made of plate glass that could shatter and fall on passersby in the streets.

We know enough to get off of bridges and overpasses, or out from under underpasses of highways and freeways, if at all possible. (not always likely.)

Our local and county governments give us briefings and pamphlets to show us how to prepare for a quake. We have a "survival kit" in the trunk of our cars, and in our houses, and enough water to last a couple of days in plastic containers that we recycle every few months. We have stocks of canned foods, a battery radio, emergency medical supplies, flashlights and some tools.
We know how and where to shut off the gas to our water heaters, furnaces and ovens . We have an evacuation plan of where to meet our children or other loved ones in the event of a quake.

We have copies of our medical records and important prescription medications and prescriptions for our glasses, where we can get them in an emergency, and have to evacuate our homes. .

We know we should keep our cars gas tanks half-filled; but not many of us do that, even though we should.

All in all, we know that another quake will come. We just don't know when. So we become aware of how we should behave to make ourselve self-sufficient for a few days at least, and that we are part of the solutions rather than part of the problem.

Answer 3

I would go and sit under the door - there are usually structure walls that contain the door and they are less likely to crash. I certainly wouldn't get out of the house, unless there aren't any huge things that can land on my head. And I would try to avoid to panic, since this is the worst thing one can do in such a case.
