Mitigation For Earthquake?

Dear Student,

The answer to your question is as follows.

The following are the mitigation strategies for earthquakes:

1. Designing and building structures to withstand earthquake shocks. For this purpose, architectural and engineering knowledge needs to be put together to improve design of buildings and construction practice. Analysis of soil type on which buildings are to be constructed is also necessary.
2. Enforcing the building codes and guidelines for safe construction prepared by the Bureau of Indian Standards in order to reduce the impact of earthquakes.
3. Creating awareness among the general public and conducting training programmes for architects, builders, contractors, designers, engineers, financiers, home owners, etc.
4. Reducing damages from secondary effects like fire, floods, landslides, etc. by identifying such sites and minimizing construction in these areas.

Hope this helps

Best Wishes
