I believe many friends in Huizhou, Guangdong Province were awakened by the earthquake. Many people say that they fell asleep at home and suddenly heard the window start to shake, so they were too scared to do anything. Although many people say that earthquakes cannot escape, we must strive for the possibility of survival. If there is an earthquake, don't try to rush out of the house, because you are likely to be hit by falling bricks and stones.
So you'd better hide under a solid table or bed. If you don't have this condition, you can also hide in a corner or under a solid furniture. Don't stand by and watch the windows, because many windows are made of glass now, and these glasses will be shattered in the earthquake, which is likely to cause injuries. If the earthquake happens to happen outdoors, you'd better run to a relatively empty place.
Don't go near buildings or particularly dense trees and telephone poles, or you may be hit. Everyone should also pay attention to the billboards upstairs, because many billboards will fall and hit people during the earthquake. If possible, try to cover your head with a thick quilt and then hide in the corner, so as to avoid heavy objects falling and hurting your head. At the same time, don't make a hullabaloo about, be sure to save your strength and wait for help.
