natural disasters usually strike quickly and unpredictably. However, there are some possible precautions and emergency planning procedures that can be undertaken.

Some parts of our planet are called tectonic areas which mean that in these areas more earthquakes or tremors occur. It is a natural disaster which cannot be tackled. It is obvious that natural disasters often happen without warning and can catch citizens unaware and unprepared. In this essay, I am going to talk about earthquake and I will touch what to do, how to react when it hits.

To begin with, earthquakes occur in seismic areas, in most cases. A tremor is the result of a sudden release of energy in the Earth’s crust that creates seismic waves. The impact of it on the environment or people is hazardous. On the contrary, there is a way which can be assistive to people by saving their lives. Using a seismometer can help people. In fact, earthquakes are measured using observations from it. People can get information when trembles will occur. Before it happens, people can go to safe places. In contrast, if tremor hits suddenly, you should panic. You have to find way to be safe. The best way to be safe is quickly to leave the apartment. However, if you do not have any chance to leave, you can stay in the corner of the door or shelter under the table in order to save your life.

To sum up, natural disasters cannot be prevented, people can solely get some information before they happen, thanks to techonology.
