How does preparedness help us to save us from an earthquake?
There are many examples. If you were prepared, for example with an earthquake kit, you would have a higher chance of living during or after the earthquake. The kit would contain safety supplies, and enough food. Without this kind of preparedness, you wouldn't have the same chance of living. There are also other things like strapping or bolting furniture to the ground, which one can see why doing so can save anyone's life.
