  34. Basic Instincts When confronted with a stressful situation, our natural reaction is FIGHT, or FLIGHT. In an earthquake, what are the two things that you should never do, and could kill you? That’s right –Fight and Flight! Don't fight a brick: Survive by: • Being small • Not running out of buildings.

  35. How to do the right thing: • PRACTICE • PRACTICE • PRACTICE
