Q. If there is an earthquake, what are the skills that you will remember?
Ans- 1. If you are at home, then, do not get scared and instead of running here and there, stand still at one place. Either sit on the floor or below the bed or any other furniture and cover yourself until the movement of earth stops. If there is no table or any other shelter then sit in any corner of the room and cover your head by folding your hands around it.
