According to Wikipedia Earthquakes are is the perceptible shaking of the surface of the Earth, resulting from the sudden release of energy in the Earth’s crust that creates seismic waves.

This are the top 5 strongest earthquake by magnitude over the years.

Disaster preparedness can prevent a bad situation from becoming worse. Emergencies such as earthquakes  needs thorough planning.

This are the things you should do in case of earthquake.

• Make sure you have a fire extinguisher, first aid kit, a battery-powered radio, a flashlight, and extra batteries at home.
• Make up a plan of where to meet your family after an earthquake.
• Stay calm! If you’re indoors, stay inside. If you’re outside, stay outside.
• Don’t use elevators (they’ll probably get stuck anyway).
• DROP down onto your hands and knees before the earthquake knocks you down. This position protects you from falling but allows you to still move if necessary.
• COVER your head and neck (and your entire body if possible) under the shelter of a sturdy table or desk. If there is no shelter nearby, get down near an interior wall or next to low-lying furniture that won’t fall on you, and cover your head and neck with your arms and hands.
• HOLD ON to your shelter (or to your head and neck) until the shaking stops. Be prepared to move with your shelter if the shaking shifts it around.
