Use non-skid shelf liners for kitchen and bathroom cupboards, medicine cabinets and closet shelves. Store heavy items or glassware in lower cabinets so they do not become dangerous projectiles. Update home insurance policies to adequately cover building costs, possession replacement and injury deductibles. Secure large appliances such as refrigerators, water heaters, air conditioners and other bulky items with straps, bolts and other stabilizing methods. Be sure both old and new buildings meet earthquake construction requirements. Do not put heavy artwork, mirrors or shelves over beds. Firmly secure bookcases, artwork, mounted televisions and other objects to withstand as much shaking as possible. Take clear photos of valuables as a record for insurance purposes. Prepare an earthquake emergency kit with non-perishable food, bottled water, copies of important documents (birth certificates, prescriptions, insurance papers, etc.), flash lights, first aid materials, blankets, spare glasses and other essential items and store it where it will be easily accessible in case of a quake. || Taylor || 4 out of the 6 power plants have blown up || if people are suffering from radiation sickness? || Some people are suffering but the power plant is not sending out enough radiation to do too much damage to lives. The radiation is about 2/5 of the amount it takes to cause death, so as long as does not go near within 25 miles of the plant for more than 2 and a half hours, they will be okay. Outside of 25 miles, the radiation is too weak to mention. Yes because, The radiation coming off of the nuclear power plants are highly toxic and you wouldn' t like to inhale them, a lot of people are suffering. ||

 * kayla || nuclear backup systems failed || What are some ways we can prevent earthquakes? || <span style="border-collapse: separate; font-family: verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;">There is no way to prevent earthquakes from happening. Since they are caused by the movements of plates that make up the Earth's crust. ||

 * Thomas ||  || what is a geological disaster? || Geological means "of or relating to geology", and geology is the "study of solid and liquid matter that constitutes the earth". A disaster is a "catastrophe, or a state of extreme (usually irredeemable) ruin and misfortune"(Wikipedia Definitions). This tells us that a geological disaster is a catastrophe that occurs because of the solid and liquid matter that makes up the Earth. ||

 * Thomas ||  || What was the biggest earthquake and how did it affect the stats? || The largest earthquake ever to occur was in southern Chile. The earthquake was a 9.5, .3 more than the second largest, occurring in Anchorage, Alaska.There were 32,000 deaths, many less than the earthquake in Tokyo 40 years earlier that killed 140,000. ||
 * Taylor ||  || How do you recover from an earthquake? || You can get grants from well known brands, and get donations for the money needed to build homes and buildings back. ||
 * || why did the japanese earthquake happen? ||  || Because 2 tectonic plates shifted ||
 * joey ||  ||   ||   ||
 * Joey || What are some specific precautions that missouri has taken for geologic disasters ||  || missouri has the tornado and earth quake drill for tornandos and earthquakes, the power plants has doubled on everything to make sure that what happened in japan wont happen in missouri. buildings are made to take the force of the earthquakes.

 * Thomas ||  || Has the New Madrid fault done much before and what damage could it do now? || In 1811-1812 there were several major earthquakes that occurred at the New Madrid Fault. The four of these each were powerful enough to be up to 8.0 and the quakes could be felt all the way to New York and Boston. Any more quakes, 7.7 and above, could be the most devastating natural disaster ever to occur in the U.S. The quakes damage could span all the way to Alabama, Arkansas, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Mississippi, Missouri and Tennessee, with major destruction in all places. Expected casualties mount in the tens of thousands, with 4000 in Memphis, Tennessee alone. ||
