Ooh! We did this in Geography!!!

1) construct buildings that are able to withstand the shock

2) Have earthquake drills so that people know what to do in the event of an earthquake (like in Japan)

3) Have an emergency services in a town or city close by ready to come out for help (although this could be a bit expensive)

hope it helped!

What are some reasons why the damage from the earthquake was so severe?

Some reasons why the damage from the earthquake was severe could include the earthquake's magnitude and depth, the proximity of populated areas to the epicenter, the quality of building construction in the region, and the local geological conditions that amplify seismic waves.


Why do some buildings near the epicenter sustain less damage than others?

Buildings near the epicenter may sustain less damage depending on their construction materials, design, and foundation. Structures made of flexible materials, designed to withstand earthquakes, or built on stable foundations are less likely to sustain damage than those made of rigid materials, poorly designed, or built on unstable ground.

Why did some buildings survive Kobe earthquake?

In Kobe there were two sorts of Buildings, the older ones, and the newer ones The older ones were made mostly of just wood, and therefore werent very sturdy and burned very easily too. Which made them easy targets for the earthquake, and the post-earthquake fires. However the newer ones were built with earthquakes in mind, and were made with steel frames, and extra support (etc.) unlike the older wooden houses. This made them harder to burn or knock down. Although, some weren't as 'earthquake-proof' as thought and did fall down as well. But the majority of the newer buildings managed to survive the earthquake


Where can one purchase an earthquake kit?

One can purchase an earthquake kit from stores like Quake Kare, American Family Safety, and Earthquake Store. Because it is uncertain where one is when an earthquake strikes, one should plan to have an earthquake kit for the home, office and vehicle. Some of these stores have pre-made kits or one have have them custom-made. Alternatively, one can build their own earthquake kits and there are sites, like 72hours, which provide advice on earthquake preparedness including contents of a kit.
