I love this stuff! Zeizmic 15:29 20 May 2003 (UTC)

I'll add external links later (maybe other people have ideas) Zeizmic 15:31 20 May 2003 (UTC)

Never having felt an earthquake in my 47 years, I wonder about the NPOV-ness of the initial statement addressed to "you". Michael Hardy 18:19 20 May 2003 (UTC)

Also needs to be internationalized. Unfortunately I have no knowledge of the subject either! Pcb21 12:39 21 May 2003 (UTC)

I don't know how to define 'most people' I have a statement that earthquakes have been felt in all 50 states, and I suppose if we include the entire world population, I'll get at least 80% who have felt an earthquake by the time they have done their 'four score'. Zeizmic 12:49 21 May 2003 (UTC)

With all this news lately, I feel sorry for the wiki and have undertaken to punch up all my previous articles to encyc. standards. I included a quote from the 1906 report, which I'm sure is in the public domain. :) --Zeizmic 14:32, 10 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Cleanup and improvement of article

I have started a cleanup and improvement of this article. I will try and add the following new info and new sections within the week:

Details regarding building retrofitting and earthquake resistance building methods.
Limits to earthquake prepareness including limits to earthquake resistance building methods.
Cost issues with retrofitting older buildings.
New sections on earthquake preparedness plans by local governments. Local, state, and federal agencies designed to help prepare for earthquakes.

Note: I will add back some of the orignal material I removed that is relevent at a later time once I determine where best to place it. Also since I have little knowledge about earthquake preparedness by countries outside the US but i encourage those who have such info to add it to the article. --Cab88 20:40, 19 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Article reborn

About 5 years ago, the article here, which had several problems, particularly a lack of citations, was replaced by a re-direct to Emergency_management#Preparedness. Well, that article has its fair share of problems too and there's plenty specific to earthquakes, so I've boldly re-created this article. I've cannibalised a bit of text from Emergency management, restored a bit from the old version of this article, and added a bunch, based on my own work in the field (I co-authored the Joffe et al. paper). I don't think the result is brilliant, but I think it's a reasonable start. I've said more about the stuff I know about, but there are other aspects that aren't covered! Everyone else, please dive in and add/edit/remove as you see fit. I'll try to do more in the coming days. Bondegezou (talk) 13:09, 24 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
