Earthquake hazard mitigation

Earthquake hazard mitigation involves strategies to reduce the risks and damages caused by earthquakes. This includes constructing buildings to withstand shaking, enhancing early warning systems, enforcing building codes, and educating communities on safety measures. The goal is to minimize injury, loss of life, and economic impact by proactively preparing and designing infrastructure to better endure seismic events. Effective mitigation requires planning, proper construction practices, and public awareness, all working together to improve safety before, during, and after an earthquake occurs.
