Best answer

1. We know that earthquakes cannot be predicted and that they can be highly destructive. 

2. It is therefore important that we have to take necessary precautions to protect ourselves all the time. 

3. Consult qualified architect and structural engineer to build the buildings. 

4. It is better to fix the cup boards and shelves to the walls, so that they do not fall easily. 

5. Be careful where you hang wall clocks, photoframes, water heaters, etc. so that in the event of an earthquake they do not fall on the people. 

6. Some buildings may catch fire due to an earthquake, it is necessary that all buildings have fire fighting equipment installed.
