Those inside buildings should go outside. If this is impossible, head to a bomb shelter with the door and windows opened, or head to the stairwell to go down to the exit. If this is still not possible, hide under heavy furniture. 

People who are outdoors should avoid standing close to buildings, bridges and electricity pylons. 

Some earthquakes could cause a tsunami, so it is advised that one stay away from the beach.

Drivers should pull their vehicles over, turn off the engine and get out into the open but it is important to keep clear of bridges or interchanges.
