Probably the single largest danger during earthquakes are the collapse of buildings and or falling debris which can cause severe injury or death. Another major danger is the potential for fire and explosion due to damage to underground services such as gas mains as well as damage to gas pipework in damaged or collapsed structures.

Cities or towns near the coast in earthquake prone areas may also be at risk from tsunami.
