because they already had earthquakes so now they know what to do
The Sichuan Earthquake is the second most deadliest earthquake to hit China, claiming approximately 69,180 lives and injuring well over 300,000 in 2008. The social consequences, however, of this earthquake are unique because it highlighted shoddy construction of buildings in rural areas, which sustained the brunt of the damage. International artist Ai WeiWei provoked a large scale outcry by exposing a cover-up to diminish the total deaths of school age children. With his efforts and those of others, the society is moving towards making the government accountable for better building standards and honesty in public discourse.
Not comepletely, but places such as California and Japan have better building structures compared to other places because they are more prone to earthquakes
The waves of earthquakes help us determine information about the interior of the earth. The more geologists know about the interior of the earth, the better they can predict earthquakes and other changes in the formation of the Earth's crust.
Any building that wishes to survive a substantial earthquake should be able to flex. Construction companies know how to make a building better withstand the effects of earthquakes by making them more flexible.
The question doesn't specify a date, however there have been a number of famous (although perhaps infamous may be a better word) earthquakes in Chile. Recently (on the 27th of February 2010) there was a magnitude 8.8 earthquake. In 1960 (on the 22nd of May), there was a magnitude 9.5 earthquake which is the largest earthquake ever recorded. Please see the related links and questions for more information.
wel,if a earthquake hits agian they'll be better prepaired.
if they new about so they could be more prepared
Build Earthquake Proof Structures.
what the earthquake is often going to be like : it will have a better chance of being more violent or less because they have earthquakes all the time
Many small, frequent earthquakes relieving stresses gradually are better than one large earthquake that happens infrequently in respect of the destruction to property involved.
The construct buildings knowing that earthquakes can strike.Many buildings are made to wobble when earthquakes strike. This gives a better chance for the building to absorb the earthquake and remain standing.
It could have had better public infrastructure, building codes and government.
You can't stop them from occurring, you just have to learn to deal with them by being better prepared.
to be more prepared and protect your home and things

Normally an earthquake is first named by the year and then the place: The 1906 San Francisco Earthquake. Sometimes the year is followed by the name of the fault.none
