That is not true. If the doorway jambs (侧壁) are weak, they might fall on you. Also if people want to pass through that door, you may stop them.

If the tremors (震动) stop, after a few seconds, just climb down the stairs as quickly as you can and move out of the building, but dont run.Earthquakes usually destroy gas pipes and electrical wires. Turn off the main gas. And dont light candles or lighters and create an even bigger disaster.If youre driving and feel a shake, stop your car at the side of the road and get out.
