Earthquake damage refers to the destruction caused by the sudden shaking of the ground during an earthquake. This shaking can lead to the collapse of buildings, bridges, and roads, making them unsafe for use. Homes may suffer severe structural damage, and essential services like water and electricity can be disrupted. The impact on communities can be devastating, leading to injuries and loss of life. In addition to physical destruction, earthquake damage can also result in economic challenges. Businesses may close, and the cost of repairs can be overwhelming for families and local governments. Recovery efforts often require significant resources and time, as communities work to rebuild and support those affected by the disaster.
