Over one million earthquakes occur every year, but most of them are too small to notice. An earthquake can happen on land or under water. A major quake may last for only a minute but in that time it can kill thousands of people and destroy complete towns and villages.
In the small hours of the morning of 18 April 1906 people in San Francisco were suddenly thrown to the ground as one of history’s most famous natural disasters struck and the buildings around them collapsed. The streets were described as moving like “waves of water”. Building after building was leveled. The whole of Chinatown was destroyed and only one building was left standing on the top of Nob Hill. At the time damage caused by the earthquake was estimated at around $7 million with fire damage at $140 million. The quake measured 7.8 on the Richter scale.
On 1 September 1923, three massive 8.3 magnitude shocks hit the cities of Tokyo and Yokohama. Only about 1 percent of Tokyo’s buildings were severely damaged by the quake but massive fires broke out and swept across the wood and paper house in the city. Of the 140,000 people died in the disaster the vast majority were victims of the fire. Over 200,000 buildings burned down, leaving more than half a million people homeless. September 1st is now designated as Disaster Prevention Day in Japan. And earthquake drills are held in preparation for the inevitable next big quake during which volunteers are shown how to put out fires and use emergency equipment.
