How Do You Prepare For An Earthquake?
The key to surviving an earthquake is preparedness. This is not only true on an individual basis, it is critical on a regional and national basis for every society around the world.
There are several websites that can be useful in examining earthquake preparedness. These are:
* 'Putting Down Roots in Earthquake Country' by the Earthquake Country Alliance.
* Earthquake Preparedness publications by the Federal Emergency Management Association.
* Many different links to other agencies (local and national) from the United States Geological Society
This information along with the information on this site will be critical in your group assignment. There will be additional sites about economies, structures, infra-structures and societies forthcoming that will also be needed. In the meantime, get in your group and begin with the first part of your assignment.
