Many people are surprised to know how Japan, which faces natural disasters repeatedly, has been able to make so much progress. Let us know what are the main reasons behind this.
Japan: The Land of Earthquakes: Japan is often called the 'land of earthquakes'. It is located on the Pacific Ocean's 'Ring of Fire', one of the world's most earthquake-prone areas. Thousands of small and large earthquakes occur here every year. Disasters like the Kobe earthquake of 1995 and the earthquake and tsunami in Fukushima in 2011 are a great example of how many times Japan has faced major natural disasters.
Why is the loss less than Japan?: India is also an earthquake prone area, but the loss caused by earthquakes in India is more than in Japan. There are some main reasons behind this. The first reason is that in Japan it is mandatory to build earthquake-resistant buildings. These buildings are designed in such a way that they can withstand earthquake tremors. The second reason is that in Japan people are regularly taught rescue drills. The government and institutions there are always fully prepared to deal with disasters. Apart from this, modern technology is also used in Japan, which helps in predicting earthquakes and reducing their impact.
What can we learn from Japan?: Japan's preparation and techniques to deal with earthquakes teach us that we should also build earthquake-resistant buildings in our country. Along with this, we should make people aware of what to do in an emergency. If we are also prepared for disasters like earthquakes like Japan, then our losses can also be reduced. We should use modern techniques and be fully prepared to deal with disasters.
Prepare for the future: To reduce the damage caused by earthquakes in the future, we need to spread awareness. We must ensure that people know how to behave and stay safe during disasters.
