Earthquake preparedness is a vital public safety and public health issue.
Unfortunately, people tend to forget about earthquakes in the years between major temblors. Using this webquest will enable us as educators to give vital information not only to our own students, but also to their families and friends. Coordinated escape and family meeting plans are also useful. Training in first aid and rescue procedures makes people more able to help in any emergency. This photo of people helping in the earthquake's aftermath is also from The Quake of 89 .
