The problem of these disasters is also mostly located in the tropics. As the climatic conditions influence the material and quality of buildings.

At the end we will summarize the consequences of an earthquake with a follow up of how to design for them. Index Terms— Earthquake, EOLBREAK, Urban, Seismic
