What precautions should we take during an earthquake if we are outside?

Some of the precautions that we will take to protect ourselves are as follows:


1. Move to an open area away from tall buildings, tall trees, electric wires and poles. As shown in the figure below.


2. If you are travelling in a bus or car than ask the driver to drive in an open field away from bridges and tall trees. The figure below depicts the same. As shown in the figure below.



3. If you are travelling in a vehicle than remain inside the vehicle.


4. Do not go to the crowded place.
