Here's what to do during an earthquake?

People should remain calm and avoid panicking, according to NDRF. They should hide under strong structures to protect themselves.

"Drop under a table; cover your head with one hand and hold the table till the tremors last. Run outside as soon as the tremors stop - do not use the lift," it said.

"When outside, move away from buildings, trees, walls, and poles. Look for open spaces. When inside a vehicle, pull over in an open area and remain inside; avoid bridges," it added.
