This means that scientists can predict the likelihood that an earthquake will hit a given area over the next several years. When a quake begins, however, scientists can warn the people in its path.
?Once an earthquake starts in one place, we can actually get the characteristics of the event and sound an alert ahead of the strong shaking.”
David Applegate says the warning may not come long before the quake strikes. But he adds that 10 or 20 seconds may be enough to help you save your life.
Like anything, he says, it is wise to have a plan that includes how to deal with flesh water and how to find beloved ones after the disaster.
The people of northern California were lucky in the earthquake that could have been far more damaging. They have cause for celebration. It seems that Napa Valley will continue exporting wine as usual. That is also likely part of the survival plan.
1. What is the function of the first paragraph?
