Earthquakes are the most expensive natural disasters humans face. A strong earthquake in the wrong place at the wrong time can cause great financial damage and cost tens of thousands of human lives. These can cause a great damage. Over the years, people due to earthquakes have lost many of their family members for which they are sad. The recent earthquake at Japan has made a great damage for life, finance and property.
