What to do in an Earthquake

Just incase you haven't seen my writing about my experience in the 7.8 earthquake, I was rudely awoken by a big one. This is a tutorial about, what to do in an earthquake.

Just to start off with the smallest magnitude is 1 and the highest ever recorded is 9.5. The bigger the magnitude, the bigger the earthquake. My one was 7.8 so quite big and destructive and the biggest one in New Zealand history. In an earthquake you Drop Cover and hold. Just like this.
DropCover
Hold
If there is no space do as Shown. Either go in a nice big space out of reach for windows and doors and cover your neck and head like this.
Cover your head and neck
Or stand in a nice and firm doorway.
