October: Earthquake Safety
What you do in an earthquake depends partly on where you are when it happens and what your specific circumstances are. But, in general, the advice is the same: Protect yourself—especially your head and internal organs—from falling and flying objects by dropping, covering, and holding on. And secure objects that might fall.
