Reducing losses from earthquakes through personal preparedness

Kockelman¹

1984

Many ways have been developed for reducing earthquake hazards. Personal preparedness is just one of these ways and includes, among many others:inspecting and strengthening the home, organizing the neighborhood, and securing nonstructural objects. Personal preparedness is a very important phase in what should be an unbroken chain of tasks extending from long-term mitigation before an earthquake, through response during an earthquake, to recovery and reconstruction after an earthquake.
