It is advised that you start by lowering yourself to the ground as quickly as you can while on your hands and knees. Maintaining this position will help you avoid falling and, should you need to crawl to safety, it will also allow you to blend in with the surroundings.

Before proceeding to the following stage, find cover behind a sturdy table or desk and use one arm to protect your head and neck.

You should complete this before proceeding to the next stage, if at all possible. You should use the other arm to protect your head and neck. If you are unable to find another place to hide, you should arrange yourself so that you are next to an interior wall that is not directly across from any windows.

It is advised to keep your body in a kneeling position and to bend over as much as you can to safeguard your important organs.

For as long as the earthquake persists, you must stay in the safe area that you are now in. You ought to have made plans to move with your shelter in case something happened to it.
