Managing the earthquake hazard Homework 07/03/15 Mitigation: Modify the event 1. How realistic is the control of the physical earthquake event? Control of the earthquake event itself and physical variables such as the location of the epicentre‚ depth of the focus‚ foundation material ie rock type‚ duration of shaking and time of day is not a realistic form of management. Earthquakes caused by humans on the other hand such as those resulting from dam destruction can be managed by considering
