As an expert in disaster preparedness and safety, I can provide you with the most current and accurate information regarding the safest place to be during an earthquake. The common myth that a doorway is the safest place is outdated and not applicable to all structures. In fact, the safest place during an earthquake is to take cover under a sturdy piece of furniture like a table, which can provide some protection from falling objects. This is known as the "Drop, Cover, and Hold On" method. You should also stay away from glass, windows, and anything that could fall or move and cause injury.

From this came our belief that a doorway is the safest place to be during an earthquake. True- if you live in an old, unreinforced adobe house. In modern houses, doorways are no stronger than any other part of the house. You are safer under a table.
