When to use it
Use it the moment you feel an earthquake begin, to immediately recall the three protective actions in the correct order.
Example
When the shaking starts, Drop to your hands and knees, Cover under a desk with your head and neck protected, and Hold On to the shelter until the shaking stops.
Common mistake
Running outside during shaking. Most injuries occur from falling debris while moving. Staying in place and covering is safer than trying to exit the building.
