If there is no table or desk near youWhen you are inside

Protect your head with whatever you haveCover your head with whatever you have, a pillow, a bag, a shopping basket, etc. When there is nothing that you can use, cover your head with a thick jacket, or use your hands to cover your head. Move to a place where nothing will fall on you, and drop to the ground. When you are outsideMove away from dangerous placesMove away from dangerous places such as near concrete walls, vending machines, and old buildings. Be careful of falling objects such as glass, signs, roof tiles, etc., protect your head with your bag, and move to a wide open area.
