How do earthquakes affect people?
Earthquakes and many other natural disasters will cause psychological problems to affected people when they have lost their homes, families and friends. It will also cause casualties when unfortunate people did not have enough time to evacuate from their homes or did not know there was an earthquake. They could be killed by collapsing houses, which will also cost the people a lot of money to rebuild their homes. In developing countries where earthquakes happen, temporary lodging will be provided. However, there might be hygiene problems as many people are crammed into a small space, which may in turn cause viruses to spread. Many properties and infrastructure might be lost and the government will have to fork out a huge sum of money to assist in rebuilding, which may in turn cause a cripple economy. Fires and other secondary effects will also cause more casualties.
