RT @KathrynProciv: 4.8 magnitude #earthquake just shook all of New York City! Everything in my apartment on the 25th floor in Midtown was shaking. WOW! https://t.co/r7Uadp2xOn https://t.co/2kA64836Dr

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

#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.

🏫 Retrofitting works.

🇳🇵 In Nepal’s 2015 earthquake, 160 retrofitted schools stood strong while 47,000+ classrooms were destroyed or damaged.

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?
