Word to the wise:

In an earthquake, if you're RIGHT near an exit, get outside.

Otherwise, just find something structural to hold up near--and preferably a table or something to get under.

DO NOT, under any circumstances, run through a building to get outside.

I'm not running outside in an airport because what looks like outside is often just the roof of another building/tunnel/parking deck
