In 2015, a powerful #Earthquake hit Chile 🇨🇱 . Despite the significant infrastructural damage, the death toll was much lower than a similar event that happened in 2010. Effective preparedness and risk reduction strategies made the difference.

🚨In 2010 a 7.0 magnitude #earthquake in #Haiti killed 222,000 people and left millions homeless. But in 2012 just 2 people died when a 7.6 magnitude earthquake hit Costa Rica.

Why? ➡️ Strict building codes.

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
