This course provides an introduction to learn how to prevent or mitigate natural disasters, especially those related to a large earthquake.
You will briefly learn the mechanism of hazards (earthquakes and tsunamis), and the disasters caused by those natural phenomena.
You will also see the limitations of disaster sciences or hardware preparedness such as sea walls, and so the importance of education and communication.
The goal of this course is to let you encourage your loved ones to prepare for earthquakes.
By the end of this course, you will properly present and explain what to do for disaster prevention, and let the fear and anxiety go away. You will also be able to give an advice to your friends on how to live and behave in an earthquake-prone country.
