Earthquake in Tokyo

Tokyo,Japan was hit by an earthquake today around 12:25 pm Local time of japan the magnitude of the earthquake according to Japan's meteorological agency is 6.9 magnitude.After the earthquake there were no damages, injuries, casualties and tsunami.


The earthquake shook the large buildings of Japan but the building only swayed.This is interesting because there were no damage or casualty because in my own point of view this earthquake is already strong enough to create damages.It only means that the government of Tokyo has strict regulations when it comes to building safety.

If this earthquake happens in our country for sure there will be casualty and damages if a certain place is near the epicenter of the earthquake.I am not comparing our country to other country but we are not that ready if ever it happens to us and in my own point of view our buildings is not that strong unlike the building in Japan but some maybe can hold but others may fall.

When it comes to disaster like this the very first important thing we should carry always is "AWARENESS" because when we know what to do when this disaster strike we can prevent accident to happen to yourself and to other because you know what to do and how you will do it.We will not know when this things will happen and let us pray that it will not happen to us.
