The Triangle of Life is not the best position in an earthquake. We cannot predict
where triangles will form in and earthquake. Additionally, most earthquake injuries
or deaths are a result of flying or falling objects which the Triangle of Life does
not protect against. The best thing to do during an earthquake is drop, cover and
hold on.
Do not stand under a doorway during an earthquake. Doorways are not safer or more
stable than the rest of the structure and do not protect you from flying or falling
objects.
After the shaking stops do not use an elevator to evacuate a building. Use the stairs
instead.
