Really? I hadn't heard that before. What are you supposed to do? Sturdy desks/tables would probably be my first inclination, but if that's not available?

16-17 years ago when I lived in Menlo Park we were taught (in middle school at the time) to get under our desks - and obviously (if London suffered from earthquakes) I'd do pretty much the same at work now.
But what's the general advice if you're out and about? Say at a museum, restaurant or stadium (or even walking down the street)?

Yeah, you just don't have enough time for that.
