Earthquake safety knowledge

1. In residences (buildings and bungalows)

Stay away from exterior walls, doors and windows, and choose to hide in places such as kitchens and bathrooms that are small and difficult to collapse. The specific location to hide can be under a table or bed, or next to a sturdy piece of furniture or close to a wall. Those who live in buildings must not jump off the building.
