Duck and cover!

Is it true that you are supposed to make your way to a doorway when there is an earthquake? That is what I did, after about 5 seconds of "What is going on?" and another 10 seconds of "WOW!". I sat in between my bedroom and living room, and tried to remember what else one is supposed to do.
It didn't seem like a scary big earthquake, so I felt pretty safe, but I thought "What do I know, I've never been in an earthquake before!", so I decided I'd better put some clothes on, just in case I had to go outside. Didn't want to scare my neighbours, I figured they would've been through enough having to run outside because of plate tectonics...
After I had managed to wiggle my way into a tshirt the world was still again, so I never had to run outside, but at least I was dressed enough to take the picture of me in the previous post.
I then remembered that you are supposed to turn off the gas when these things happen, but I figured that since I couldn't smell anything, and since the shaking had passed, I wouldn't have to do so. Not that I know how to do it anyway...

Does anybody know what else you are supposed to do? Might come in handy, the knowledge I mean...
