It's:

DROP or DUCK down to your hands and knees

Take COVER protecting your head/neck with an arm and crawl under a sturdy table/desk possible or to a nearby interior wall away from potential falling objects

HOLD ON to your shelter if you have it or head/neck with both hands if you don't

It's not as obvious as stop, drop and roll which is why drills are a thing in schools.

It's also not terribly far from duck and cover drills for nukes or tornadoes as I understand it. The hold on bit was added to keep people from tripping and breaking a leg while running around while the ground is shaking.
