If it is possible, take cover under a table (such as in a food court) or against a sturdy wall. If you are under a sturdy object, hold onto the object and be prepared to move with it. If you are against a wall or in the middle of an open space, get lower to the ground while covering your head and face with your arms. Try to avoid areas near glass (such as a store window or under a skylight), or near shelves with potential falling objects.

Remain calm at all times, and cover in place until the shaking stops and it is safe to evacuate if necessary.
