The following actions you need to take when an earthquake occurs:
1. Stay calm
When the earthquake occurs, try not to panic and stay calm! Take a deep breath, then look around and choose a safe place to take shelter.
2. Inside the house
If you are inside a building during an earthquake, try to save yourself and others around you. Taking shelter under a table is the best place to protect yourself from falling objects due to the earthquake.
After that, protect your head with a soft object. For example, a pillow, helmet, board, or the most practical is to use both hands in an inverted position.
3. Outside the room
If you are outside when an earthquake occurs, the first action to take is to move away from buildings and poles and head to an open area.
Stay calm by taking a deep breath and do nothing. Because, usually after the first earthquake, there will be aftershocks.
4. In the crowd
If you were in a crowd at that time, it would usually cause panic. To avoid this, you can pay attention to the instructions of the rescuers and try to immediately go towards the emergency stairs to reach an open area.
5. In the mountains or highlands
If an earthquake occurs while you are on a mountain, move towards an open area to take shelter. Avoid areas near the slope because there is a possibility of landslides that can threaten lives.
Underwater earthquakes can cause tsunami waves. If the earthquake occurs, move to higher ground.
6. Inside the vehicle
If you are traveling during an earthquake, hold on tightly so you don't fall. Stop in an open area and stay there.
