What should you do if you get hurt during an earthquake?
That would depend more on the type of injury rather than on the earthquake. The main difference is that after an earthquake, the possibility to get help is probably limited. Roads might not be passable. Hospitals might be full of injured people. So do the regular First Aid things, like you would if you got injured while out camping/hiking. Don't call emergency services or go to a hospital unless you really need qualified help. Compound/open fractures, big/deep cuts, particularly to hands, face, joints. Trouble breathing, internal injuries w/firm abdomen, sucking chest wounds, etc etc
