“how to respond before, during, and after earthquakes” That’s all I need to know
Great initiative by UWI Five Islands! Educating the public on earthquake preparedness is crucial for a region that experiences frequent seismic activity knowledge can save lives.
Twenty earthquakes in one week? Thank you UWI Five Islands for taking this seriously. We really need to be prepared, not panicking after something happens.
We always prepare for hurricanes, but earthquakes are just as dangerous. Time we start taking it seriously too.
