dudeguyman (OP) User ID: 1332912 United States 12/25/2011 08:14 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | In an earthquake, you should definitely not drive anywhere. Go outside, as far from any buildings or trees that may fall on you as you can. Then, in the case of a 9.0, bend over and kiss your butt goodbye. :) Quoting: Meggarea Why not drive? well these are the things to do when driving [link to www.progressive.com] |

Stand in a doorway and hold on. Sitting under the stairs, believe it or not is a relative safe(ish) place to be. Regarding a 9.0, if you were caught in the middle of that, you would be lucky to escape anywhere.

During the quake, things tend to fall off of buildings and crash down on people running outside. Wait until the shaking stops, then run outside. Your supposed to find a sturdy piece of furniture and put your head and torso underneath it, your entire body if you can stuff it all under. But your brain and heart are the two body parts that your supposed to protect. They are kinda hard to replace. Alternately, you could press against a wall, just make sure that your away from anything that could fall on top of you. (Bookshelves, tv's, pictures, etc.) |

Then, once it is over, be VERY VERY careful if you go near anything that looks unsafe because an aftershock could collapse it. Especially since aftershocks can be of a different frequency and direction, so it could hit the resonance frequency of something that was totally sturdy in the last quake.
