To ensure a safe and enjoyable journey when we are on a trip, understanding disaster preparedness and response measures is crucial. Earthquakes and tsunamis are geological related natural hazards. In the Observatory’s Blog, we would like to share knowledge about the risks of earthquakes and tsunamis, predictability, and practical measures for disaster preparedness, prevention and response. The exact occurrence time, location, and magnitude of earthquakes cannot be predicted, but what we can do is: Don’t panic, acquire relevant knowledge and information, make good disaster prevention preparations, and learn how to respond to hazards appropriately.
