Oh, HotPE, so snarky and sarcastic to opinions you don't agree with.

I know that writing flood over there is wrong, but please don't misunderstand. I have also mentioned there natural disaster. And natural disasters involves a lot more. I had studied in geography that's why I suggested it for safety purpose we can stand under a door frame that can save our life. It is just a suggestion.

Just wait until your insurance goes up in a few hundred years, then you won't be laughing.

Even if you mean an earthquake, standing under a door frame is not good advice.
https://earthquake.usgs.gov/learn/topics...antasy.php
"
FICTION: During an earthquake you should head for the doorway."
"
That’s outdated advice. In past earthquakes in unreinforced masonry structures and adobe homes, the door frame may have been the only thing left standing in the aftermath of an earthquake. Hence, it was thought that safety could be found by standing in doorways. In modern homes doorways are no stronger than any other parts of the house and usually have doors that will swing and can injure you.
YOU ARE SAFER PRACTICING THE “DROP, COVER, AND HOLD ON” maneuver under a sturdy piece of furniture like a strong desk or table. If indoors, stay there. Drop to the floor, make yourself small and get under a desk or table or stand in a corner. If outdoors, get into an open area away from trees, buildings, walls and power lines. If in a high-rise building, stay away from windows and outside walls, stay out of elevators, and get under a table. If driving, pull over to the side of the road and stop. Avoid overpasses and power lines. Stay inside your car until the shaking is over. If in a crowded public place, do not rush for the doors. Crouch and cover your head and neck with your hands and arms. You should practice the “DROP, COVER AND HOLD ON” method at work and at home at least twice a year."
