HOW DO EARTHQUAKES AFFECT SOCIETY? The earthquake hazard poses the most serious intermediate term risk to the health, safety, and economic viability of many parts of the United States and throughout the world. Recent earthquakes demonstrated the risks to modern industrial societies from such cataclysmic events, affecting everything from massive loss of life, infrastructure damage, and financial instability. Much larger earthquakes can be expected to occur adjacent to many metropolitan regions in the United States. Examples: 1. The Northridge earthquake (1994) was a modest (magnitude 6.7) event which caused 57 deaths, over $20 billion of damage, and created major disruption of the Los Angeles area infrastructure.
All the damages from the first effects can bring about second effects. The first effects can be drop of buildings, damages of public or private facilities. While the environmental effects of the earthquake could be the destruction of nature in the form of the destruction of ecosystems and habitats and harvest. The damage may result from the effects of beyond the first occasion such as fire that came from the fuel pump that broken or water flash from a river that which were not included in the first effect of an earthquake.
