Technology is the best way to reduce the impact of an earthquake. To what extent do you agree with this view? Technology can be used in a variety of ways. It can be used to manage the hazard as well as the vulnerability and loss. Despite the fact that unlike volcanoes‚ there is no definite or set method on predicting earthquakes‚ technology in terms of seismographs and tilt meters are used to give a slight clue. One method of reducing the impact is by managing the vulnerability. One of the main
