Precautionary Brochure - Science

Earthquakes are caused by movements under the Earth's surface that produce rapid and strong shaking of the ground. They can cause severe damage like building collapses, landslides, and tsunamis. Aftershocks are also common after earthquakes and can hamper rescue efforts and cause further environmental damage. It is important to prepare for earthquakes to lessen injuries and risks, and communities should have evacuation and shelter-in-place plans in place.
