2.         2.    The destruction of schools, this will stop children and teenagers to going to school
3.         3.  Destruction of hospitals will make any bad injuries unhealable
4.         4.  he worries of finding another job because your old job got destroyed by the earthquake
5.         5.  Homelessness. You need to find people shelter

Insurance Companies –

During and after an earthquake insurance companies will need to pay insurance to pay for the damage of the earthquake. They also need to reassess the rates of the insurance so they will probably go up. Also they will need to go to the houses and assess the damage of the house and decide whether that the house is insured for the amount of damage. They will also need to go to the houses and see how the land is and see if it is safe enough to live in and if it’s not they will not insure them.
