At my residential this week at Imperial I had a lecture on Earth science and was able to pick up some information for my project on Earthquakes.
The Sumatra earthquake of 2004 is of magnitud 9.3, similar to Japan's Hiroshima of magnitud 9 on the richter scale. They both suffered an earthquake and tsunami and are therefore similar situations. Sumatra however was in 2004 so it might be interesting to discover how/ if buildings have improved over 7 years.
