Emergency Preparedness - Earthquakes

Depending on where you live in the world, earthquakes will or will not present a real life threat to you. Despite the large number of earthquakes in the world, there have been relatively few fatalities in high earthquake zones such as California. Where there have been high fatalities in countries such as China, high population density and inadequate building safety have played a major part. This does not mean that you should not prepare. Earthquakes can devastate lives both in the short and long term and your preparedness may not only reduce your own personal suffering but also help others in need.
