       2.   During the earthquake, remain calm and quickly follow the steps outlined below.
 
3.   If indoors, seek refuge in an interior doorway or under a desk or firm table. Be careful the desk or table does not move. Stay away from windows, high bookcases and heavy equipment that could topple over.
