What are the Dangers of an Earthquake?

Australia is not a place where many earthquakes happen. However, during those rare cases, they can have many consequences. In this zone of risk, earthquakes happen because of intraplate deformation. A regular earthquake would be caused by plate boundaries. Whereas the latter is common and understood, the deformation is not. This makes it even harder to prepare and stay safe. The deformation is quite rare, so there is little data about it. Moreover, they are slower to happen, so more dangerous to experience.

How to take appropriate precautions?

Because of the uncertainty of Australian land, it is essential to keep citizens informed at all times of the year. Informational papers and website links should be available and updated every other month. It is important for anyone within potential danger zones to stay aware and know the risks around them. Earthquakes, like other natural disasters, are hard to predict, but often cause the same results. Loss of power, difficult communication, lack of shelter, and no running water may all happen. To take precautions, clear communication should always be a priority. Loss of power can complicate this. Having an alert system with a backup battery to signal as many as possible no matter what, can make a real difference.
