It is very important that a country is prepared for natural disasters, the government and the society has to help and promote ideas to reduce the risks of natural disasters and avoid material losses and losses of human persons.

One of the countries more prepared for natural disasters is Japan.

Japan is the best country prepared from around the world in emergencies of earthquakes and tsunamis.

The Japanese have been responsible for preparing the entire population with simulations of earthquakes, for example, in schools an alarm sounds and the children and teachers have to get under their desks to protect against the fall of the rubble.

These drills are conducted throughout the year and children are taught to hide under tables or desks and the children and the adults have to hold on to the legs of the table.

The local fire department also has groups of children in the machines of earthquake simulation in order to familiarize them with the feeling of being in an earthquake.

The schools that are of two plants have an escape route in which children can slip and fall in a safe place.

Japan has suffered many earthquakes, the Japanese have learned from past experiences for example in 1995 earthquake in Kobe killed 6.400 people and forced to re-evaluate the standards of construction for both offices, houses and transport infrastructure .

Damage to buildings in Tokyo was slight as a result of the stringent construction of Japan which ensures that skyscrapers sway during an earthquake, but the skyscrapers do not collapse.

The buildings are earthquake proof, with the help of the profound foundation and massive shock absorbers to cushion the seismic energy.

Another method allows the base of a building to move semi-independently to its superstructure, reducing the shaking caused by a quake.

Immediately after an earthquake strikes in Japan, all television and radio stations switch immediately to official earthquake coverage which informs the public of risks, including tsunamis to enable people to retreat to higher ground or, on the coast, purpose-built tsunami defence bunkers.

For those trapped, all offices and many private houses in Japan have an earthquake emergency kits, including dry rations, drinking water, basic medical supplies. Offices and school also keep hard-hats and gloves for use in the event of a quake.

Well, it is very important that the countries are prepared for natural disasters, in addition to Japan, there are other countries that have the ability to cope with natural disasters for example Chile which is the first country in Latin American to be the best country prepared for natural disasters especially in earthquakes , Mexico also has the ability to face any natural disaster and not suffer many consequences and there are other countries such as Finland, which is responsible for helping countries sub-developed to invest for the prevention of natural disasters.
