The base needs to be more flexible and we need to make lighter roofs, floors, and walls that can withstand the shaking of an earthquake.

# data[].attributes.body
There should be tension ties in buildings and base isolators, cross braces and dampers in buildings.

# data[].attributes.body
The building can’t be too high

# data[].attributes.body
Buildings in the city should have strong foundation. The top of the building should be lighter. The building should be flexible.

# data[].attributes.body
Since earthquake cause damages we need better and stronger building to prevent less building to collapse during a earthquake.

# data[].attributes.body
To build a building, you must have a strong foundation. Also flexible buildings and lighter roofs.

# data[].attributes.body
Building should have stronger foundation

# data[].attributes.body
We need lighter roofs, walls, and floors. We can isolation to separate the structure from seismic waves, and we can reinforce concrete.

# data[].attributes.body
The bottom of the structures need to be vary stable.

# data[].attributes.body
You need to have stronger buildings so it doesn’t collapse while a earthquake is happening.

# data[].attributes.body
We learned to have lighter roofs, have flexible structures, and lighter floors, so they need to be prepared.
Many people use steel reinforcements

# data[].attributes.body
You need the building to have structural integrity, and have supports underground that can hold the building in place while an earthquake is occurring.

# data[].attributes.body
Stronger foundation, isolated base.

# data[].attributes.body
We learned how to make buildings stronger to withstand seismic activity. Lightweight buildings are very important to making a building stronger. A tall building can collapse very easily. Lightweight roofs can prevent lots of pressure in the upper parts of the building. Stronger foundations can help keep the building up. Weak foundations can collapse quickly killing many people in the building. Flexible buildings can withstand many earthquakes. If your building is strong steel all the way to the top ,the pressure of the earthquake will snap the building in half.

That they need better and strong foundations for their buildings to not collapse

# data[].attributes.body
You need to make buildings that are ready for an earthquake so it doesn’t collapse

# data[].attributes.body
They need to build their houses by sturdy rocks and not by water or something soft like mud

# data[].attributes.body
We learned that you need a stronger base and there buildings need to be prepared

# data[].attributes.body
The destruction that happened to haiti shows us that you always need to be prepared. As Christians we need to help people that are in third world countries and help them prepare.

# data[].attributes.body
I learned that the people in Haiti

# data[].attributes.body
They need more sturdy foundations but not concrete houses!!!!!

# data[].attributes.body
The scientists are trying to save human life quicker.

# data[].attributes.body
There earthquakes were very strong and there after-shocks were very bad as well.

# data[].attributes.body
I learned that though there where not frequent earthquakes there where alot  of

The thing that stuck out to me was the statement, "Well engineered bu

# data[].attributes.body
Iearned that seismic monitoring system can measure quantitatively the amount of ground shaking that's occurring in buildings so we can see how much they are being disturbed by these earthquakes.

# data[].attributes.body
I learned that if you have a building made of very hard rock that the building most likely won't fall.

# data[].attributes.body
I learned that they would send portable seismographs to record the later aftershocks and that they needed to build their homes on sturdy ground and foundation like rock instead of marshes and sand. I also learned that they used cheap material like comcrete because they were worried about hurricane season instead of earthquakes so that when the earth shakes the concrete will crumble and land on human beings within Haiti. They also need a stronger foundation with a strong building. This killed more than 150,000 and there were more than 200,000 buildings demolished. If the concrete crumbles it will fall faster than they could escape

# data[].attributes.body
I learned that if you build on hard rock the building would be more stable than building it on sand.

# data[].attributes.body
I learned that if you build a structure on soft soil is likely to fall over and if you build it on rock then it will wistand more damage.

# data[].attributes.body
I learned that if a building is constructed properly it will not have much damage taken to it. I also learned that even aftershocks can cause a lot  of damage.

# data[].attributes.body
What I learned was that if you make a building on hard rock it has more stability so the building won't crash or fall! It would be smart to the builders if they make there building on hard rock. Now for some types of land they might not be able to do that Burke they can do it. It will save lives. Also after shocks are pretty strong so don't think after the earthquake it is over

# data[].attributes.body
I learned that they want to put several seismographs in Haiti so they can get more information. I learned the earthquake caused 150,000 casualties. If you make a building out of hard rock or cement, it is extremely vulnerable and easy to collapse and crush anything under it.

# data[].attributes.body
I learned that Haiti and other countries don't have the normal Mercalli scale so they use a modified verse. This modified verse has no seismograph or things of that nature you use the things that you have around you to test the strength and other things of the earthquake

# data[].attributes.body
Write something …

# data[].attributes.body
Tis true

# data[].attributes.body
According to portable seismographs, some regions shook more than others. They also learned which houses stood and stu while helping people out.

# data[].attributes.body
I like drilling into the mantle and causing random earthquakes and stuff!

# data[].attributes.body
I learned that when they had built on the sturdy rock it didn't fall

# data[].attributes.body
I learned that they want to put lots of seismographs in hati so that they can learn from the large aftershocks.  They also built building to withstand hurricanes, not earthquakes so they were not prepared.

# data[].attributes.body
I learned that Haiti has been using the modified Mercalli scale. They have many earthquakes and some of the biggest. They are putting new scales in to get a record of exactly how big they are.

# data[].attributes.body
They built their buildings to withstand a hurricane but not earthquake

# data[].attributes.body

# data[].attributes.body
They used the modified mercolli scale to estimate the power. They take eyewitness accounts to decide what they rate it.

# data[].attributes.body
If people build on a weak surface the building will fall. If you build on a solid surface the building will not fall as easily. I also learned that earthquakes Canberra very deadly

# data[].attributes.body
I learned that if a building was well built, it didn't suffer as much damage. I also learned that the best place to build a house is on a hard surface like rock.

# data[].attributes.body
Seismologists learned to build on hard surfaces like rock so the buildings can stand the earthquake and not fall over.

# data[].attributes.body
I learned that sand for a foundation is not a good idea.

# data[].attributes.body
I learned that you cannot build on soft surfaces because they shake too much and that you need stab,e build built on rocks so they don't fall from the waves. Hard surfaces don't shake as much as soil.

# data[].attributes.body
I learned that the steadier the foundation, like on a rock, the more it can withstand an earthquake.

# data[].attributes.body
The Bible says that he who builds his house on sand will fall, but those who build their foundations on the rock of the Lord will be successful. This is exactly what seismologists found to be true after the Haitian earthquake. Those who had their houses on rock had a lower collapse rate than those on sand. Another factor was concrete. When the concrete houses shook, they cracked and fell on those unfortunately under them. This killed more than 150,000.

# data[].attributes.body
They learned not to build on soft surfaces .

# data[].attributes.body
They learned not to put the building on stable ground so it won't fall

# data[].attributes.body
I learned that if you build on a sandy surface, if will more and likely be more stable.

# data[].attributes.body
I learned that to help the Haiti's earthquake situation is to make more of the buildings out of less heavier concrete but with a good stability.

# data[].attributes.body
They learned that they need to build well engineered buildings.

# data[].attributes.body
They discovered that we need to look at how the soil is underneath before we start building on top of it because if it is not firm and staple it will fall and not with stand the earthquake.

# data[].attributes.body
They learned that some of their buildings were built to where they didn't suffer. They could just build them like that so if it happened again they will be safe.

# data[].attributes.body
we can study the strength and number of aftershocks

# data[].attributes.body
they learned that they needed to build on hard rock and build far away from faults

# data[].attributes.body
There were many aftershocks after the earthquake. The buildings that had soft soil fell more.

# data[].attributes.body
They discovered that there were many strong aftershocks that followed the main shock of January 12.

# data[].attributes.body
The safest places to rebuild are going to be near hard rock sites. Hard rock is stable and has less shaking during an earthquake.

# data[].attributes.body
more than 150,000 casualties, 200,000 buildings destroyed.

# data[].attributes.body
They can follow and measure aftershocks to the main earthquake where it started

# data[].attributes.body
There were many other aftershocks after the January 12th aftershocks.

# data[].attributes.body
more than 150,000 casualties, 200,000 buildings destroyed.

# data[].attributes.body
There was 150,000 casualties and 200,000 buildings collapsed

# data[].attributes.body
In the Haiti earthquake there were more than 150,000 casualties and more than 200,000 buildings destroyed

# data[].attributes.body
The earthquake in Haiti was devastating and was a 7.0 earthquake and that they needed to build strong buildings that could survive a earthquake
