Show transcript
Scientists can calculate the probability of an earthquake happening within an area in the future. It is not currently possible to predict exactly when or where earthquakes will occur. Earthquake detection can only provide seconds of warning. Drop-cover-hold is practised during earthquake drills. Base isolators, flexible building materials, strong shapes and mass dampers help create earthquake-resistant buildings.
