Considering that over 50 seismic zones are located on the territory of our country, and seismic effects on human settlements and other objects located near or within seismogenic zones can reach 9 or more points, and given a projected devastating earthquake in the south and south-east of the country, it is very important to know not only behavioral skills before, during and after earthquakes, but also the fundamentals of preparation for them.
In addition, earthquakes caused by man-made effects on the upper part of the Earth’s crust due to the intensive development of oil, gas and other minerals, the creation of large reservoirs, etc., may pose a potential risk.
