Detailed explanation-1: -We cannot prevent natural earthquakes from occurring but we can significantly mitigate their effects by identifying hazards, building safer structures, and providing education on earthquake safety.
Detailed explanation-2: -Avoid windows and doors, glass panels, and outside entrances. Ans. Examining and interpreting seismic data to forecast alarms in advance. Enacting legislation requiring only earthquake-resistant structures.
Detailed explanation-3: -One must stay away from bookcases, furniture, and heavy appliances that may fall. The shelter must be under a table or bed, and hold on to a post or any other fixture. If one is outdoors, the shelter must be taken in a clear stop away from buildings, trees, and power lines.
