Watch this episode to get to know more about self-protecting when in an earthquake
If an earthquake hits, don't head for the doorway. That's outdated advice. In the past earthquakes, the door frame was sometimes the only thing left standing. Modern home doorways aren't stronger than other household areas. Doors can also swing---injuring you in the process. Instead, the USGS recommends "DROP, COVER, AND HOLD ON". This means dropping to the floor and getting under a desk or table. If you're outside, stay away from trees, power lines, and anything that could fall, including walls.
If you're inside, avoid windows and elevators. If driving, pull over, stop, and stay there until the shaking ends. Avoid overpasses and power lines. If you're in a crowded area, crouch(蹲伏,俯身) and cover your head and neck with your hands and arms. lf you're in an earthquake prone area(地震常发地), have a survival kit ready. And bolt/secure heavy items that could pose a hazard(安全隐患). With a little planning, you can be ready just in case disaster strikes.

Student 1: So what should we do if there's an earthquake
Ms Fors: Remember to "drop, cover, and hold on". Drop down onto your hands and knees, cover your head with your hands, and stay away from glass, windows, or anything that could fall. You could find cover under a desk or table. Hold on to the desk or table so it doesn't move away from you.
Teacher: What should we do if we're outside when an earthquake happens
Ms Fors: Go to an open space away from buildings, trees, or power lines.
Student 2: And what about after an earthquake
Ms Fors: Well, if you're trapped, you can use a cell phone to call or text for help. You can also tap on a pipe or a wall, or whistle for help. That way Lucky and I can find you!
