Rules and advice to follow in the event of an earthquake. The greatest risk in the event of a seismic event occurs in old buildings or those designed without anti-seismic standards. If the shock is very violent, even the external environment can become dangerous since the seismic wave can cause, in mountain environments, the fall of rocks or the activation of landslides or tidal waves called ‘tsunami’ along the coasts. There are precise rules on the behavior to be adopted in the event of seismic events, recommended by the Department of Civil Protection.
