An earthquake (also known as
a quake, tremor or temblor) is the result
of a sudden release of energy in
the Earth's crust that creates seismic
waves. The seismicity, or seismic
activity of an area refers to the frequency,
type and size of earthquakes experienced
over a period of time.
Install latches on cupboard doors to prevent them from opening
during a quake.

Use non-skid shelf liners for kitchen and bathroom cupboards,
medicine cabinets, and closet shelves.

Do not put heavy artwork, mirrors, or shelves over beds.

Prepare an earthquake emergency kit with non-perishable food,
bottled water, copies of important documents (birth certificates,
prescriptions, insurance papers, etc.), flashlights, first aid materials,
blankets, spare glasses, and other essential items and store it where
it will be easily accessible in case of a quake
1.Deformed ground surface
2.Damage to man made structures
3.Damage to towns and cities
4.Loss of human and animal life
5.Devastating fires
6.Landslides
7.Flash floods
8.Tsunamis
11.Faults The main damage is caused to human, animal
life and damage to properties. Earthquakes cause a lot of
devastation, thereby causing great loss of life and
property.
In the immediate aftermath of a disaster, federal assistance is
made
available only after a formal request has been made by a states
governor. The extent or the impact of a natural or man-made
event
can qualify a region of a state to be declared a disaster. The
President makes this declaration, and once made, it initiates the
efforts of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, known as
FEMA. FEMA reacts as quickly as possible to the devastation
caused by a disaster to provide immediate aid and relief to those
affected; this is known as the disaster response phase. After the
disaster is over and it is time to rebuild, the recovery phase
begins, and with it come additional sources of aid
