Lowest temperature in the year is 7C ゜

In future, temperature is raising up slowly by Global Warming

Wheather in Greece

Three Steps to the Earthquake Safety

3. Make disaster kits

◦ Make a disaster kits per a person which includes:>Medical kits>Flash light>Non-perishable foods and water>toiletries>maps>Portable Radio>etc…

Three Steps to the EarthquakeSafety

More strict building code will be needed in Greece

More strong buildings such as the building with concrete is much more powerful than the buildings with woods and stones.

These concrete buildings are proofed scientifically that it will decrease the strength of quake

Protection: How to Reduce more Impact from Earthquake

In the present there are many Technologies to Reduce Impact

The technology which is very useful is turning the gas off automatically, when the machine felt the quake

This machine is already used all over world

The recent technology which is invented is:• The houses which takes the power of quake

and makes electricity• This technology is

invented in Japan and is spreading around the world
