Show transcript
Being prepared for an earthquake reduces its impact on people and the built environment. There are many different ways that governments can prepare, e.g. with earthquake-proof buildings and warning systems. Families and individuals can also be prepared by practising what to do in an earthquake and having emergency supplies. Wealthier nations are more able than poorer nations to respond to the challenge of a major earthquake.
