The modified mercalli intensity scale is used to measure the intensity of an earthquake and is in part derived from the damage done to building and other structures.
By constructing buildings and structures that are earthquake resistant.
Depending on the type of structure and the strength of the tornado damage can range from roof damage and broken windows to the complete destruction of well-built structures.
Fire damage to a structure weakens the stability of the structure. Structures with fire damage are a concern during an earthquake due to their stability and the high chances of them collapsing.
A magnitude 8 earthquake can release as much energy as 6 million tns of TNT. It can cause severe damage to structures and can very fatal.
People avoid or limit an earthquake's damage by building structures that will not fail in the earthquake or subsequent events and make it safe at the same time.
