How to prevent earthquakes?

1. Establish and improve the earthquake monitoring and early warning system: improve the accuracy and timeliness of earthquake early warning by strengthening the construction of earthquake monitoring network. At the same time, strengthen the analysis and processing ability of seismic data, and provide scientific basis for earthquake prevention.

2. Strengthening the seismic capacity of buildings: For buildings, strengthening the seismic design is the key to prevent earthquakes. In the process of architectural design, the influence of earthquake should be fully considered, and reasonable structural forms and seismic measures should be taken to improve the seismic capacity of buildings.

3. Formulate emergency plans: governments at all levels and relevant departments should formulate detailed earthquake emergency plans, clarify their respective responsibilities and tasks, strengthen the construction of emergency rescue teams, and improve their ability to cope with earthquake disasters.
