How do locations prepare for and respond to earthquakes?
preventive systems (actions aimed to minimize negative impacts from happening)
land planning
better land use planning
considerations on where to put the infrastructures
Best to have some open space in case buildings collapsing
A good as open space but also important for delivering resources and emergency services
As far away from steep slopes as possible in case of landslides, HK wouldn’t be able to build on slopes if we have earthquakes
As long as there are multiple routes, but should be far from coast (in case of tsunami) and away from slopes, best to be at the centre of a community
building design
better building designs and materials
shock proof building
it can reduce the impacts of the infrastructure from the earthquake
follows the direction of the earthquake
using stronger materials
materials: wood, plastic, glass, metal, cement, brick, etc
education
drills and academic learning
escape routes, allowing students to know what to do and where to go if an earthquake occurs
earthquake public education
teaching people what to do and where to hide in your house when an earthquake occurs
monitoring
the seismic monitoring
used to measure the ground movements of the seismic waves
Seismograms
it can be used to record the location, origin time, and magnitude (characteristics) of the earthquake
preparatory systems (actions aimed to respond to any negative impacts that may happen)
insurance
emergency planning
