Safety precautions are vital during an earthquake. People can protect themselves by standing under a doorframe or crouching under a table or chair until the shaking stops. They should not go outdoors until the shaking has stopped completely. Even then, people should use extreme caution. A large earthquake may be followed by many smaller quakes, called aftershocks. People should stay clear of walls, windows, and damaged structures, which could crash in an aftershock.

Where tsunami's occurs and how you protect yourself if you are in the path of a tsunami?

Tsunamis occur as a result of an earthquake underwater. The earthquakes happen when the 'built up energy' in the tectonic plates gets released. Due to the earthquake, the tsunami occurs. You cant really find out when the tsunami/earthquake will occur because we do not have enhanced machines yet. However, earthquakes and tsunamis can be detected- but close to the time of occurrence- this is why the only way to protect yourself is by evacuating as quickly as possible, as soon as the warning is issued.

The best way survive an earthquake is lay next to a piece of furniture that is longer than you are tall.

When it does, there will be a void left on either side of it, where you can be safe from the falling debris.
