To achieve this, it is essential to have a mindset to protect oneself in the event of an earthquake from daily life.

1. First, protect yourself

Hide under the table or similar places to ensure your safety.

2. Quickly extinguish the fire

Calmly extinguish the source of the fire and prevent fires.

3. Ensure emergency exits

It is dangerous when the building is distorted and the door cannot be opened.
