I live in a very safe country, but kinda been scared of this for years so I keep some stuff always in my backpack that I have at work and at home with me (not as prepared as you might think, but it gives me comfort to have more than what fits in my pockets).

I'd take my backpack, run to fill my water bottle if there was an easy opportunity and try to get underground as fast as possible.

Best case scenario: doesn't hit in my vicinity.

If I live I have to still possibly survive holed up under a crumbled building until I can be rescued and this might take awhile. If I die instantly then yeah, don't have to worry about that anymore.

Worst case scenario: I am heavily injured and stuck under rubble. I prefer not to think about this.

Yup, these would be my priorities too.
