To reduce earthquake damage, new buildings must be made stronger and more flexible like in buildings you should have base isolators, tension ties, dampers, flexible gas pipes and so. For houses you should not have heavy things hanging above your bed. Strap the water heater to the wall. Bolt the house to its concrete foundation. Those are good ways to make your house safer for an earthquake.

2)Take off anything which you would not want to break.
3)Get a foundation inspection and check for any weakness in the house such as cracks.

∙ 7y agoThere isn't much you can do to prepare because we never know where or when one will hit. If you have breakable items at home you can buy a clay type material that will hold items in place. Heavy furniture like a dresser can be bolted into the wall. You and your family can have a plan of what to do when one happens and you can keep an emergency kit to use. Knowing where gas lines are is also good so you can turn them off.

When do volcanic earthquakes occur?
An earthquake can be caused in two different ways, there is a volcanic earthquake and a tectonic earthquake. Tectonics earthquakes are much more common than volcanic earthquakes.

A tectonic earthquake is when stress built up by the movement of Earth's tectonic plates is released in the form of shaking.
