many buildings were destroyed including an entire village
(context) in pakistan there was not much monitioring since it is a developing country
(context) Japan has advanced monitoring systems because it is a developed country that often experiences earthquakes
(context) Pakistan has little resources/money since it is developing, so rebuilding takes longer
(context) since pakistan has limited money, it's buildings are made of wood & cement which can be easily destroyed by an earthquake
(context) Pakistan was unable to warn for the earthquake because it had little monitoring
(context) in japan people are educated about earthquakes
(context) Japan has very strict building laws so buildings do not get destroyed easily in an earthquake (ie buildings have to have deep, resistant foundations)
(context) in poor, rural communities there is not much education available on earthquakes
(context) In poor communities planning evacuation is hard since there are very few roads and poor communication
