During an earthquake, it is important to remember the "Drop, Cover, and Hold on" protocol. Drop to the ground, take cover under a sturdy piece of furniture or against an interior wall, and hold on until the shaking stops. Avoid doorways and windows, and if you are outside, move to an open area away from buildings, trees, and power lines. If you are driving, pull over to a safe location and stay inside the vehicle until the shaking stops. It's also important to have an emergency plan in place and be prepared with supplies such as water, non-perishable food, a first aid kit, and a flashlight.
