We can't stop an #earthquake from happening⚠️, but we can create earthquake-resistant buildings 🏠.

Hazards don't have to turn into disasters❗ We can and must reduce vulnerability and exposure to reduce loss and damage. 👉https://t.co/R483kJmsxV

In 2010, a 7.0 magnitude #earthquake in #Haiti killed 222,000 people and left millions homeless.

But in 2012 just two people died when a 7.6 magnitude earthquake hit Costa Rica.

Why?

#OTD in 2004, a massive 9.1 magnitude #Earthquake struck off the coast of northern Sumatra, #Indonesia. The event unleashed a devastating #Tsunami, caused widespread destruction, and became one of the deadliest disasters in modern history.

15 years ago, an #earthquake in Haiti left devastating destruction, hundreds of thousands dead and injured, and more than a million displaced. Its effects were felt across the Caribbean and as far as Florida, Columbia, and Venezuela. As we reflect on that tragedy, let's remember earthquakes strike without warning—please stay informed and prepared.

Can scientists predict an #earthquake? Well, it's complicated.💡

They can make forecasts, but not accurate predictions. But what's the difference between a forecast and a prediction?

RT @UN_News_Centre: Alerts were sent out within a few minutes of the Russia #earthquake, @UNDRR confirmed.

Although authorities have now downgraded the threat across #Japan, advice is for people to stay in shelters until the danger diminishes from continuing sea surges.
