You can only prepare to cope better with an earthquake should it happen.

1. Buildings are designed so that they flex rather than break when shaken.

2. They keep stocks of temporary shelters such as tents.

3. They keep stocks of bottled water.

4. They acquire vehicles which can cope with disrupted infrastructure.

5. They draw up action plans so everyone knows what they have to do as soon as there is an earthquake.

Why should people living in the earthquake regions prepare emergency kits?

People should prepare emergency kits because when an earthquake appears, you don't have the time to collect your items you need with you. You have to be quick and not get an bunch of stuff!People living in an earthquake zone should always be prepared. There are no warnings of a pending quake. You should have your well stocked kit or box in your car or in a place where all members of your family can get to quick. When a earthquake hits you may only have a few seconds. Develop a plan to get out side to a safe area where your kit is available.

Scientists know that the studies they are doing on earthquakes will lead to accurate predictions of earthquakes.?

While scientists have made significant progress in understanding the mechanisms behind earthquakes, predicting them with accuracy remains a challenge. Current research focuses on identifying patterns and risk factors, but the complex nature of geological processes makes precise predictions difficult. Advances in technology and data analysis may improve our ability to estimate when and where earthquakes might occur, but definitive predictions are still beyond our reach. Therefore, while studies enhance our understanding, they do not guarantee accurate earthquake predictions.
