According to Taiwan's " China Times Electronic News ", there have been earthquakes in Taitung for two consecutive days. Since Taiwan is located in a frequent earthquake zone, there are many different opinions on whether to run up or escape during an earthquake. Experts said that if you can make the correct response actions as soon as possible in the earthquake, you can save many lives.

According to reports, late at night on February 6, 2018, a magnitude 6.5-magnitude earthquake occurred near the coast of Hualien, and several buildings collapsed in Hualien, causing heavy disasters. Statistics found that many buildings collapsed and destroyed from the first floor.
Fire expert Lin Jinhong pointed out that the first floor is most likely to collapse during an earthquake. Never rush down from the upper floor. This is a very dangerous move. The correct way should be to hide under a solid shelter instead of running around casually.
If an earthquake occurs while sleeping, should you stay on the bed or roll under the bed? Lin Jinhong said that staying on the bed will not be hit by displaced furniture or beds, and it will be less likely to fall.
Questionnaire survey showed that when the Weiguan Building collapsed in Tainan earthquake in 2016, almost all the people in the Weiguan Building said that they could not move or get up at all, so it was relatively safe to stay in the bed.
