1. Japan's strict regulations on quake-proof buildings, as well as its efficient warning system which automatically flashes the size of tremors and warnings about tidal waves onto TV screens. Shows that they are somewhat prepared.
2. Modern earthquake-proof structures can withstand the stress of major earthquakes ( in the 7.0 range anyway), but old ones can't. Modern earthquake-proof structures that do survive are, however, often seriously damaged and very expensive to repair, Kobe earthquake happened in 1995, there were many old houses.
