Weather emergencies, sentence 3

In an earthquake in California or New Zealand you drop to your hands and knees, take cover under a strong table and hold on until the shaking stops; if you are by the sea and the shaking was long or strong, you go to high ground at once, because a tsunami may follow.

Who acts: you, shaking, tsunami · What happens: drop, take, hold on, stop, be, go · To what, where: earthquake, cover, strong table, high ground

This is a sentence of the lesson «Weather emergencies» of the everyday course of Mova's primary school. The page gives its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies — and its pragmatics clause by clause: who acts (you, shaking, tsunami), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.
