From home to school to elevators to hospitals, ten indoor locations with separate guidance for while it's shaking and once it stops.
Once an earthquake starts, the same general advice doesn't apply the same way in every location. At home, getting under a table is usually enough; at school or the office, the sequence is protect your head under a desk, then wait for an announcement. In crowded places like malls or theaters, everyone rushing for the exit at once can become its own hazard.
This list covers ten indoor settings โ home, school, the office, elevators, retail spaces, theaters, hospitals, the bedroom, the kitchen, and high-rises โ and separates what to do while it's shaking from what to check once it stops. The building's actual layout, live announcements, and on-site staff guidance always take priority over this list.
