Earthquakes can cause severe damage due to ground shaking, surface faulting, tectonic
uplifts and ground ruptures. They can trigger tsunamis, flooding, landslide, fires, dam fails and
other disaster several kilometers from the epicenter. The actual movement of ground during an
earthquake seldom directly causes death or injury, most casualties result from falling objects and
debris, or collapse of building. According to the Bureau of working conditions, study shows that
high rise building had the biggest risk of casualties during earthquakes.
