Step 4
Pull over to the side of the road away from overpasses and power lines if driving. Stay in your car until the shaking ends.
Step 5
Get away from shelves or other areas where objects may fall if in a crowded store or public area. Do not run for the door. Crouch and cover your head and neck with your hands and arms.
Step 6
Stay in your seat if in a stadium or a theater. Get below the level of the back of the seat and cover your head and neck with your arms.
