An Earthquake Preparedness Guide

Earthquake preparedness guide in English&Hindi


Past earthquakes in India brought
home the harsh reality that earthquakes don’t kill
people, unsafe buildings do. About 60% of the land
area of our country is susceptible to damaging
levels of seismic hazard. We can’t avoid future
earthquakes, but preparedness and safe building
construction practices can certainly reduce the
extent of damage and loss. To take necessary
action it is mandatory for every citizen to have
elementary knowledge of what is an earthquake,
forces acting on structures, remedial measures to
be taken for structural safety and knowledge of
what to do before, during and after an earthquake.
This guide will serve as a reference tool to
sensitize citizens about the issues concerning
preparedness measures for an earthquake.
