Before
before an earthquake, make sure you listen to the news on the tv or radio, so that in case of one, you can know. If you live on a area that is just waiting for a earthquake or other natural disaster, practice every week to do these simple rules: drop, cover, and hold on.
During
During the case of an earthquake, follow your practicing and get underneath something like a table or desk, curl into a ball and protect your neck with your hands.
After
After an earthquake you should find a quick way out of the building you were inside of, if you are trapped, wait for help, yell for someone and do whatever you can to get to safety. Once you are out of the building, go to the most populated place you can find, so you can be safe with everyone.
