When I was growing up in the Bay Area in the '80s and '90s, we were drilled on getting to a doorway or else underneath a stable piece of furniture during an earthquake, if you were indoors (if you were outdoors, get into as open an area as possible, look out for poles and trees and falling bits of buildings). Since then, recommendations have changed - doorways aren't as structurally key as they were believed to be then, plus there's a risk of getting your fingers caught in the swinging door as you brace yourself. Dunno what advice would've been in a place with as few natural-yet-significant earthquakes as the Protectorate, though, especially in the late '90s.
