Best Answer

In a very strong earthquake things fall, and sometimes buildings collapse, so try to get to a place where things are not going to fall on you, preferrably in the open. Don't leave open flames, such as burning candles or gas stoves, since those can cause fires when they fall.

Are triangular buildings the most earthquake proof?

In a way, Yes. A triangle is a very strong shape, and any force that is set onto it is usually dealt with. But it wouldn't be practical. Earthquake proof houses usually have strong foundations, or are made to move with the land when an earthquake occurs.
