Resisting earthquakes is a good first step
When you build in an earthquake-prone region, your structure should be resistant. Sounds reasonable, but merely making shock-proof buildings is not enough, according to Dr. Simona Bianchi. She leads a team performing multi-hazard analysis. “An earthquake often leads to other disasters, such as fires or floods. If you want to protect people and property, you have to design with these risks in mind.”
