Most of the damage done by hurricanes or earthquakes could have been avoided by building structures to withstand such forces. That is why you see so much more damage and destruction when one of these disasters hits a poor part of the world vs america. Most of the time we can build our structures to survive cause we have the money but places like China and Burma (Myanmar) can't and you saw what happened then.
