Prima che ritorni: lo studio dei terremoti (Before it happens again)

How much do earthquakes cost? How much does it pay to do prevention? What knowledge and skills are needed? Science today cannot predict an earthquake, but it can tell us which areas they occur in and which of them are the most dangerous. These are the tools that can help us live with one of the natural phenomena that has helped form the landscape in which we live. It is essential to act before the next seismic event strikes again.

We have the tools that can enable us to limit dangers and costs, to help us live with these natural phenomena. But it is essential to act, before the next seismic event strikes again.
