Question
during an earthquake, it is best to:
be near a window or any tall furniture.
drop, cover, and hold in a safe place.
leave the building using the stairs.
leave the facility using the elevator.
During an earthquake, being near a window or tall furniture (which could break or fall) is dangerous. Using the elevator is unsafe as the power might go out. While leaving via stairs is a thought, the immediate action of "drop, cover, and hold" (to protect oneself from falling debris initially) is the best - practice according to earthquake safety guidelines.
