Assam Earthquake Highlights Need for Seismic Safety Measures

Imagine the ground shaking!

An earthquake hit Assam, causing cracks in buildings and some injuries.

It was a reminder that the area is prone to quakes because of the Kopili Fault.

The earthquake happened near where a big one hit in 2021.

Experts say that building safe houses is very important to protect lives.

Countries like Japan have made buildings that can withstand earthquakes.

The government needs to make sure that new buildings are built using special maps so they are safer in a quake.

If we don't take steps now, more damage could happen in the future.
