What do the government do to help after there has been an earthquake?

How does the government prevent so many deaths next time??

Thanks!

First we plan what is needed immediately.Sending ambulance with emergency medicine,Then sending drinking water and food to the affected area,The sending temporary shelters . Finding quick rescue operation and expecting after shocks are all the immediate measure they should take.

knowledge seeker here ok the government helps the injured to hospitals , gets people food and water, gives them places to live till there homes are fixed.like what they did during hurricane katrina.

What government are we talking about? Where does the earthquake occur?

They do bugger all like they do now
