Protected
It is important to inform that when an earthquake occurs, without a doubt, the person will have to quickly look for and identify a safe point where they can protect themselves. This space will have to be away from glass or objects that might fall.
Other recommendations are that you do not use stairs or elevators while an earthquake is occurring, as this might put your life at risk.
If it is in the house, it will have to be placed under or next to sturdy furniture. Do not do this under door frames as they might collapse in a matter of seconds. Or if the seismic event catches you elsewhere, try to be at the previously assigned meeting point.
