We cannot predict precisely when or where an earthquake will strike but we know pretty well where they are most likely to occur and can make some sensible preparations to mitigate their worst effects. Mostly this involves governments setting suitable building codes to ensure that buildings don't fall down during an earthquake. However individuals and organisations can do a lot to help themsleves... it is all about understanding what the risks are, making preparations to reduce some of the hazards before the earthquake happens and knowing what to do during and after an earthquake.
