What else can I help you with?
What can you do in the future to be more prepared if there is going to have another earthquake in janpan?
yes, if we have the supplies
Why are people more prepared for a hurricane then an earthquake?
hurricanes don't happen as often as earthquakes
Will more shocks be felt after a strong earthquake?
Yes, aftershocks can occur after a strong earthquake. These are smaller tremors that can happen in the days, weeks, or even months following the main earthquake. It is important to be prepared for potential aftershocks and take necessary precautions.
Haitian earthquake. when did it happen?
it happened on the 23 january,2010.at aprox.0930am.please help the Haitians which troubles now until Haiti is no more. Natalia from Saint Lucia sorry it happen to the Haiti feel the sorrow.
How has Chilean President Michelle Bachelet responded to the earthquake of February 27 2010?
She has said that more lives will be lost, and for people to be prepared for aftershocks.
Why can people be more prepared for an hurricane than they can for an earthquake?
Earthquakes strike without warning. Hurricanes are usually detected well in advance of making landfall.
Will there be any more earthquakes?
Earthquakes are unpredictable and can happen at any time. However, it is impossible to know exactly when or where the next earthquake will occur. It is important to be prepared and follow safety precautions in earthquake-prone areas.
Will we have an earthquake tomorrow?
No.. there is not going to be an actual earthquake, they are carrting out a drill, to show people how to prepare for a big earthquake if it were to ever happen. use the link to find out more check out here http://www.ocregister.com/articles/earthquake-quake-drill-2226277-orange-thursday
What were the positive effects of the haiti earthquake?
The positive effects of the Haiti earthquake included increased international aid and support for recovery efforts, improved infrastructure after reconstruction projects, and greater awareness of the need for disaster preparedness and resilience in the region.
When is an earthquake likely to occur?
Earthquakes can occur anytime, but are more likely in regions along fault lines or plate boundaries. Seismologists cannot predict exactly when an earthquake will happen, so it's important to be prepared and have emergency plans in place.
Why would an earthquake be more devastating in a country that rarely gets serious earthquakes?
First world countries or regions that are earthquake prone tend to have very strict building regulations so that earthquake resistant designs and construction techniques are employed in the design and construction of buildings and other infrastructure. These regulations are also strictly enforced. Countries where earthquake are rare are unlikely to require the results of seismic activity to be considered in the design and construction process (except in the most sensitive of buildings e.g. nuclear reactors) as this is more expensive and is considered to not be a significant enough risk to warrant the additional expense. As such in the unlikely event that a large earthquake did occur in the country where they were rare, it would do significantly more damage as the structures were not designed to withstand earthquakes. Also earthquake prone regions will have an emergency response prepared in the event of a major earthquake that will be well practised. The emergency response in a country with low earthquake risk will be less well prepared as they will concentrate their training on dealing with other more likely scenarios.
Why may an earthquake cause more damage in one location than another?
If the earthquake happens in a deserted area then there is very little damage. Roads and electricity cables might be damaged. An earthquake in a city, however, will damage a lot of buildings and many people are likely to die or be trapped in the rubble.
