Common sense for avoiding risks when encountering an earthquake during a trip

1. When an earthquake occurs, you should first determine how far away it is. If you only feel a side-to-side sway, the epicenter is usually far away; if there's an up-and-down jolt, the earthquake is closer to you, and you should immediately take appropriate action;

2. When in the wild, you should quickly move away from hazardous environments such as the base of mountains, steep cliffs, and riverbanks to avoid landslides, ground cracks, falling rocks, and mudslides.
