After Myanmar’s deadly earthquake, @UNDRR & @UNHABITAT urge a #BuildBackBetter approach to recovery to cut future disaster losses.

🏗️ Enforce seismic building codes
🏚️ Retrofit unsafe structures
🔁 Rebuild for long-term resilience

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?

🏗️ Strict building codes. Resilient infrastructure saves lives.👇

On 17 January 1995 the Great Hanshin earthquake devastated Kobe City in Japan.

The city's recovery set a new global benchmark for disaster resilience, putting in place the foundations for the Sendai Framework, says UNDRR's SRSG Kamal Kishore.

🕯️ 16 years ago, a 7.0 magnitude earthquake struck Haiti, taking hundreds of thousands of lives.

To honour the memory of all earthquake victims – in Haiti and elsewhere – we must learn from the tragedy ➡️ https://t.co/LgXL0B4EnP #BuildingResilience https://t.co/N4zYckcAZq

🕯️ 3 years ago today, on 6 Feb 2023, devastating earthquakes struck Türkiye & Syria, taking 50,000+ lives.

Here's how we can honour the memory of earthquake victims:
Safer buildings.
Stronger communities.
A safer future.

On 22 Feb 2011 an earthquake in Christchurch triggered one of New Zealand's deadliest disasters. 🇳🇿

Fifteen years of evidence from New Zealand shows that seismic resilience is a governance question as much as a technical one. ➡️ https://t.co/Epm8EcVTU5 #BuildingResilience https://t.co/cIx6qnN1z5

Earthquakes are inevitable; the disasters they cause are not.

Valuable lessons from 🇯🇵 Japan – to keep people safe & buildings standing.

29 April #EarthquakeDay – honour the memory of victims by protecting those they leave behind.

📣 Can we really predict earthquakes? 🚫No.

❌ Zero scientific basis. Just rumours.

Earthquakes can trigger cascading hazards — tsunamis, landslides, toxic spills, infrastructure collapse.

Understanding risk is the foundation of resilience.

📢 Smart public policies can prevent earthquake disasters.

Most earthquake deaths result from damage to buildings & infrastructure – we can protect people from this.

🫸 Drop! Cover! Hold on!

If the ground starts shaking & you're indoors, this reflex can protect you.

Run a Drop, Cover, Hold On drill – & make it a habit. The reflex it builds can last a lifetime.

We can't predict earthquakes — but automated systems can detect early shaking and act.

P-wave detection triggers alerts, stops trains, shuts gas lines, protects infrastructure in seconds.

Those seconds save lives. ➡️ https://t.co/aqyfZDvct5
