But if it is a strong quake people may find it very difficult to run away or even standing.

The safest is always to get out of building every time one started imo
I know experts would probably advise to find safe cover but imo out in the open will still be far safer.
Even a small quake can be hard to run away. I experience a quake about 15yrs ago we were outside in the paddock when it struck the ground beneath our feet became waves it was like a moving ocean of grass and dirt, wasn't very big and lasted maybe 20-30seconds. It knocked us all off our feet when you tried to move you just fell over again.
