Yes, that's right, from what I know, Chile also has earthquakes more frequently.
Having to live in places like this is quite complicated... I have no idea how much you pay for insurance there.
It took me a little time to understand why in the United States most houses are made with wood. Today I know that it is because of these natural events and wood is cheaper to rebuild the house.
And concrete cracks easily. LOL
And it's more expensive to rebuild... I can only imagine how much money the politicians would overinvoice and steal here.
Only here with the floods in Rio Grande do Sul after a while, we don't even talk about it anymore and the state is devastated... donations arrive, but people still have difficulty receiving them...
I have no idea. There does not seem to be much protection against an Earthquake.
You're right. I hope that where you live this doesn't happen so much.
I believe that not every region in the United States has earthquakes.
No it is pretty much California. The rest of country has other natural disasters.
I understand, unfortunately this is not the only earthquake that exists in the world.
No they are common in many areas.
If you are near the plates, they slide all over the place.
