Earthquakes are among the many natural calamities that have caused devastation to properties and claimed thousands of lives over the years. In fact, according to statistics, 50 to 80 earthquakes occur every single day and about 2000 each year. When an earthquake occurs, it’s difficult to tell the amount of destruction it would cause in its wake. Apart from devastating properties and buildings, earthquakes can trigger a tsunami that can uproot populations or lead to loss of lives. Earthquakes kill many people because they have no warning signs and find people unprepared. Despite efforts by governments to educate the masses on earthquake warning signs and preparedness, a lot has not been accomplished.
