Prediction: EARTHQUAKE! ARE YOU PREPARED? - Donald D Schroeder - September 1976

Donald D Schroeder

Surprisingly, this awesome and destructive natural disaster can strike almost anywhere. Here is how you can prepare to protect yourself and your family. Killer quakes have hit the headlines with disturbing frequency in recent months. "Guatemala's 39 Second Eternity of Terror." Death Toll in Hundreds in Italy." "10,000 Left Homeless by Soviet Quake," and others in Mexico, Bali, and New Guinea hit in rapid succession. Then China was devastated by the most gigantic quake of the decade, killing tens of thousands. Even before the China disaster, earthquakes in 1976 had killed over 24,000, making it the deadliest year for quakes since 1970, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. Instinctively we don't like to think about earthquakes happening to us. Yet hundreds of millions of people live in major earthquake belts. (See map.) And other areas seemingly immune from quakes – may nonetheless be subject to damaging tremors caused by stresses building up over centuries of time. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
