Remember during an earthquake:
Remain calm.

Once the shaking stops you can move around and take care of any injured persons.
Move away from the coast line, get away from the sea.
Be careful in case the earthquake shook anything loose.
Remember to have an engineer to check your building to make sure it is safe.
