Remind you again of the three rules of evacuation when an earthquake strikes:
1. Drop your head and body down.
2. Cover: Use your hands or objects to protect your head and neck as much as possible, and hide under a sturdy table or other furniture.
3. Hold on your knees, touch your elbows to the ground, and hold the table legs with both hands.
