We have donated one million dollars to Chile victims of earthquake.which is way true aussie spirit we are,and we donated money to other countries for there diasters.
but if we have a earth quake here or a real big natural diaster wiping out many lifes are we truely prepared with funding,hostipals,aid and housing,and the miltary to help out.do we have to ask for other countries to help us out.
So far we had a few horrible bushfires caused manily by man,We had a few floods which not many lives were lost.then cyclones up in broome and cyclone tracy in darwin,
Do we listen to the global warning that its showing us.Or as a australian do we say its allright mate it want happen to us get on with day attidue,see so far we really been pretty lucky.
ARE WE PREPARED FOR A EARTHQUAKE IN AUSTRALA.
When i was at school it was taugth what to do if a earthquake happen.Always a good idea to have a emerceny plan in place,because when a earth quake hits theres alot of screaming people not knowing what to do.
I experienced a tremmor and a mini cyclone in evanston in grade seven,believe me when hit sheets of iron flew straight into windows and ripped the schoolhouse in half,all us kids were huddled under a table screaming for our mums,and dads and so dark teachers were scared to.we were all lucky.

The Earth’s surface consists of interlocking plates. Most plates comprise both continents and ocean floors. The original concept of continental drift emphasised continents because that was where the rocks were mapped and the connections drawn. However, we now use the term ‘plate tectonics’ because it is the plates that are moving, and the continents are being carried upon them. The main plates are named in the figure.

We are in the middle of the Australian plate so I think were safe from any major earthquakes.
