If you are in a high-rise building

Stay away from windows and glass sections.
Do not use elevators. (If you are in an elevator, and feel an earthquake, press the button for every floor and get off on the first floor the elevator stops at.)
Listen to the public address system and follow instructions given by the staff.

If you are on the street

Stay away from block walls, vending machines, and other structures that may topple over or fall.
Be careful of falling items such as billboards.
Take shelter in the nearest sturdy building or open space if possible.
Keep away from places where there is a lot of glass, such as the display windows of stores.

Since there is the threat of a tidal wave, evacuate to higher ground immediately. If there are no elevated areas nearly, move away from the ocean as far as possible.

Large-magnitude earthquakes tend to be followed by several smaller magnitude earthquakes known as aftershocks. Sometimes, aftershocks can be as large as the original earthquake.
If you are in a high-rise building or an underground shopping arcade, follow the instructions given over the public address system or by the staff.
If you are outdoors, temporarily evacuate to public square (park or ballpark) if possible.
