I am scared. What can I do - Los Angeles

With a swarm of large earthquakes globally, and fault lines around Los Angeles being at a 1000 year high pressure, I’m scared. What can I do when it happens?

I’m worried of apartment building collapse. I live in north hollywood/burbank, a liquidation zone. I’m on the 2nd story. First story is mostly parking garage, with a sub level parking garage too. There are 3 stories above me. Building built in mid 80s, outside of retrofit requirements.

Aside from “stop worrying” or moving, what can I do when one hits? Do I quickly get outside, or just hope it doesn’t collapse and pancake me? All readings say don’t go outside because of falling debris hazards, but a street with mostly houses and only a few short apartment buildings seems safer that the risk of being pancakes to me.
