To increase your chance of survival you need to respond quickly. If you are indoors, stay indoors. Tokyo’s infrastructure and seismic technologies are the most flexible in the world; they are designed to absorb the shock. Drop to the floor and protect your head, if possible, use a piece of furniture for cover, or position where objects cannot fall on you. Hold your place even after the earthquake is finished, most quakes last less than 10 seconds but many injuries occur during the aftershock phase. When it’s safe to move, consider moving outside and making your way to the most proximal evacuation point or a safe area, primarily where there is less risk of items falling on you.
