Earthquake Mitigation

Earthquake mitigation involves taking measures to reduce the damage and risks caused by earthquakes. This includes designing buildings to withstand seismic forces, securing heavy furniture and objects, establishing emergency plans, and retrofitting older structures. Public awareness and preparedness, such as drills and education, also play key roles. These strategies aim to protect lives, limit property damage, and ensure communities recover more quickly after seismic events. By combining thoughtful engineering, proper planning, and awareness, we can better manage earthquake risks and enhance safety.
