You can only prepare to cope better with an earthquake should it happen.
1. Buildings are designed so that they flex rather than break when shaken.
2. They keep stocks of temporary shelters such as tents.
3. They keep stocks of bottled water.
4. They acquire vehicles which can cope with disrupted infrastructure.
5. They draw up action plans so everyone knows what they have to do as soon as there is an earthquake.

How do people monitor volcanoes to check how active they are?
There are a few ways of monitoring volcanoes. The safest and one of the best ways is to monitor earthquakes in the area. When molten rock moves underground it creates earthquakes. Looking at the size, type, and location of earthquakes in and under the volcano can give an idea of what the magma is doing. Scientists can also look at the size, composition, and temperature of gas coming from the volcano. Yet another method is to use precise measurements to see if the slopes of the volcano are deforming as magma moves.
