Question

protection against earthquake

Answer 1

Practice the Duck, Cover and Hold procedure until it becomes second nature.

Duck: get under a sturdy piece of furniture, making yourself into a little ball (do not duck under beds or other objects that could collapse). 

Duck

Cover: keep your head and eyes protected from falling or flying objects. Cover your head with one hand.Hold: with your other hand, hold onto the piece of furniture. If it moves, move with it. Stay under shelter until you are sure the shaking has stopped.

Cover and Hold

If you cannot shelter under furniture or a doorway, move against an interior wall if you are indoors, duck, put your arms over your head and across the back of your neck for protection. If there is a book, pillow, tray or other protection at hand, hold it over your head and neck.

It is better to break your arms than to have something fall on your head or neck, which will probably result in unconsciousness, paralysis, brain damage or death.
 
Door Way for Protection

If you are not near any sturdy furniture, take cover in a sturdy doorway. The extra construction around a doorframe makes it one of the strongest parts of a building. Also there is rarely anything over a doorway to fall on you.

Stand in a doorway for protection

Avoid doorways that have transoms or air conditioners above them.

Also, beware of the door that can swing back and forth during an earthquake. Brace yourself and try to hold off the door with your shoulder or hip and hold on tight, feet spread wide apart for balance, leaning across to hold onto the opposite side.
