Abstract
There have been many earthquakes, large and small, in various earthquake regions of the world from past to present. Earthquakes will continue to occur whose location and time are unknown. When the plates in the Earth's formation move against each other, pressure is exerted on the lithosphere. As a result, the plates in the earth's crust exert forces on each other as they move. When the force is great enough, the crust is forced to break, creating what we call an earthquake. In our study, as a result of deadly destructive disasters caused by earthquakes in the world and in Turkiye; Information will be presented about the negative effects of earthquakes on country economies, costs and expenses, public policy measures to be taken, and the Japanese practice. Earthquake geology and engineering are excluded from the scope of the study. Since there is no technology to prevent earthquakes, living with the reality of earthquakes and living in accordance with public and private rules can also reduce the risk of devastating and fatal disasters.
