Always prepare emergency kits. Whether your place is not earthquake prone or not, always prepare survival kits that could clean and patch wounds. Hopefully the emergency medical supplies can hold until the rescuers arrive. Once the building starts to collapse and it seems that it could happen any minute, assess the situations calmly and do not let anyone go hysteria.

Looks for materials that can serve as signal like cellphone and flashlight. In almost a deafening silence and dark room, you should find ways to contact the rescuers for immediate help. Light travels faster compared with other elements. Hence, make use of your flashlights or, alternatively, search for materials that you can hit against a wall to produce a sound.
