[By Shawhin] Some important discussion has come up regarding this issue and particularly the post below from August 2nd, 2007.
Per the debate – the “drop, cover, and hold” method may not be advisable for residents of Tehran (and Iran) and other places where beuilding collapse is quite likely. “Drop, cover, and hold” is based on US damage models where structures typicaly do not collapse and most injury is from falling or flying object.
Please see comments to the August, 2nd post for more info!
