What has Kobe done to reduce the impact of earthquakes?
Ways they reduce/d the impact: · Steel frames on high rise building. · Older buildings collapsed. · New building made further apart to reduce the domino effect. · Built on concrete slabs where soil is softer. As during the earthquake the ground can liquidfaction. · Disaster plans are put in place-earthquake drills practised regularly and people are forewarned to turn off the gas in their homes/building, so that a fire won't occur in the event of an earthquake. · Shock absorber fitted. · Organise and prepare a emergency 'stock' which include medicines, food, water, blankets, tents and commucation equipment. Most LEDC's wouldn't have the funds to supply these. · Better research work is put in place so that they can monitor ground movement and key fault lines. This creates jobs potentially for the people that became long-term unemployed. · Government urges people to buy earthquake insurance.
