Yeah, hiding from earthquakes doesn't tend to be very effective.
On the other hand, SHELTERING from aftershocks MIGHT be. But yes, the optimal reaction to an earthquake would seem to be "get away from things that might fall on you," which seems to be the opposite of "get toward things that you can hide behind."
