Each second during an earthquake is crucial. First thing you should consider is to protect you and your family's life. You should use your arms to cover your neck and head, lower your body, and keep yourself staying at a safe position to evacuate.
The primary safe emergency evacuation location for people is the solid table because it can provide space for people to hide in it. If you can't find a solid table then the building wall pillar would be your second option. In addition, remember to use your personal belongings to protect the head from being injured.
