the point within earth where the earthquake starts
It starts at the focus or hypocentre of the earthquake.
If you are outside an earthquake then the best thing to do is not to go inside the earthquake zone - until the earthquake and aftershocks subside.
it starts in the focus
For the most part, by that point it's too late to "do" anything. There are lots of preparations you can make before an earthquake, but once it starts it doesn't usually last long enough for you to do anything. Earthquakes can be thought of as more or less the exact opposite of tornadoes: in an earthquake, you should get outside if you can or at least in a doorway, whereas in a tornado outside is pretty much the last place you should be.
There will, no doubt, be an earthquake in 2012 but no one can know when or where it will happen, or how severe it will be.
The point at which the earthquake starts - is the Epicentre.

Because a earthquake isn't a mountain.. A earthquake starts to happen underground then is on top.
