#1. Do NOT go in an old building during an earthquake for shelter, it can brake down and kill you. #2. If there would be a place where earthquakes are common, it's always best to have a first aid kit nearby or in a bag(purse, suitcase, box, backpack.) so you wouldn't have to suffer if you'd be injured.

What is the precautionary principle?

The precautionary principle is a guideline for decision making. Some human-induced changes can lead to large or even catastrophic consequences, so those responsible for the change must prove that it causes no harm before proceeding. Objectors do not have to prove that there will be harm. This is a reverse of historical practices where those opposing the change had to prove its harmful effects to prevent the change from going ahead.
