Answer 1

Answer: (A), (B), (C)

Special building standards for earthquake-prone zones.

During an earthquake, take cover under a sturdy piece of furniture - a strong table or some other furniture to avoid any debris from falling on your head.

After the earthquake stops, proceed with caution as the danger might still be out there. Avoid roads and bridges that have been damaged by the earthquake.
