hide under something like a table (because it is hard)

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.
what should your response to an earthquake be?
Check ALL of your wall figures so they wont fall on you or anything. During the earthquake get under a table or a door-frame.
Many people got homeless from this terrible earthquake! and you should help them! :P
Standing in the middle of the street with tall buildings.
Investigation and appropriate remedial treatment.
you are done!
There was an earthquake...
Damage done
The surface that is right above the epicenter of the earthquake,or the place that is right above where the earthquake starts.
you should run when an earthquake is orgared
Depends on how hard the earthquake's damage done on the Richter Scale
If possible get out into the open where nothing can fall on you. If you are in a built up area shelter under something sturdy. The shaking of the ground is not likely to harm you it is falling objects that hurt people during an earthquake.
The modified mercalli intensity scale is used to measure the intensity of an earthquake and is in part derived from the damage done to building and other structures.
Should have. The confusion arises when the conjunction "Should've" is used, which sounds very much like "Should of".
You should take out a policy for earthquake insurance.
