If You Are Driving
During an earthquake
Don't suddenly reduce your speed, but rather turn your hazards on and slow down to call attention to surrounding vehicles. Stop you car at the left side of the road after checking your surroundings. Stop the engine and wait until the shaking stops. Once the shaking stops, leave the car with the key in the ignition and the doors unlocked, and evacuate to a safe place. The reason you leave your key in the ignition and the door unlocked is so others can move the vehicle (if you're not present) when an emergency vehicle needs to go through.
