With no buildings or freeways around, there's probably not many humans around. That way, there's little risk of injury to humans and not much to repair.
The Earth will still shake, land slides can occur, trees may topple, and some animals will be injured or possibly even killed.
Because in a populated area, you have all of the buildings and sculptures, but an unpopulated area is just plants and trees, and those can regrow.
hardest hit area of the haiti earthquake
Earthquakes usually cannot knock over trees, even if they would level buildings. In a natural area, the worst an earthquake would cause is a landslide. The exception would be an underwater earthquake that caused a tsunami, because tsunamis can cause a lot of damage, even in the wild.
It depends on the magnitude of an earthquake. For example, a 2.0 magnitude earthquake would virtually kill no one and cause little to no damage. However, a 9.0 earthquake could kill thousands and destroy whole cities.
The United Nations should become involved in mandating laws that require all buildings to be earthquake safe. This would eliminate crisis that require international disaster funding. The mandate would decrease loss of life and the horrors that accompany the affects of earthquakes. Earthquakes can happen anywhere at anytime and having properly designed buildings would protect the people in the surrounding area
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.
There is less chance of buildings collapsing on you and your possessions
A small earthquake that happens after a larger one is called an aftershock. Aftershocks happen because the crust in the area where the main earthquake happened is adjusting to the earthquake's effects.
Aftershocks and the foundations of buildings have become unstable and are very likely to fall. :) rate my answer
The safest area during an earthquake if you are inside is under something sturdy (like a table) along an interior wall. The safest place outside is away from power lines and buildings.

Go outside into an open area away from buildings, and any other thing that could fall on you.
San Francisco. Mainly in the city areas and the business buildings. 296 miles around this area were destroyed. :)
A Primary Effect is basically an disaster like earthquakes what happens in the area of the earthquake e.g buildings f-d damaged like tat secondary effects well....... U dint ask 4 tat. -I.E_ Revstar deadshotyz
So that people who chose to live in that area make an informed decision about doing so. Buildings and other infrastructure can be designed to be more robust against earthquake damage.

Hati. The poor infrastructure of the buildings made whole cities collapse
