During an earthquake, what to do is:

In the event of an earthquake, one should always maintain their composure and reassure others.

During the event, one should always seek out the safest location, which is an open area far from any structures.

People should avoid glass windows and doors indoors and seek shelter behind a desk, table, or bed.

Keep your cool and avoid making a hasty exit from the building, which could start a stampede.

If one is outside, they should keep their distance from structures and power lines, and they should stop any moving cars right away.

It should be remembered to release all household animals and pets so they can flee, and one should remain outside until the tremors stop.

It is also suggested to avoid using candles, matches, and to extinguish all fires.
