Once again, we remind you of the three rules of evacuation when an earthquake strikes:
1. Drop and lower your head and body.
2. Cover: Try to protect your head and neck with your hands or objects, and hide under a solid table or other furniture.
3. Hold on. Kneel on your knees, touch your elbows to the ground, and hold the table legs with both hands.
