Scenarios about 'earthquake resilience'
Earthquake resilience refers to the capacity of communities, structures, and systems to withstand and recover from seismic events with minimal damage and disruption. Throughout history, societies in earthquake-prone regions have developed increasingly sophisticated approaches to resilience, from architectural innovations in ancient civilizations to modern early warning systems and building codes. In alternate history scenarios, different technological trajectories or policy priorities could significantly alter how vulnerable regions prepare for and respond to these natural disasters.
