A residence in Japan has reportedly become a site of terror following an earthquake with a strong 6 on the Japanese seismic intensity scale. The unsettling experience, which has considerably damaged the house, happened abruptly leaving the occupants in a state of shock. As of now, there has been no reported casualties and the authorities are working diligently to assess the total damage and conduct rescue operations.

In Japan, earthquakes are more common due to its location in a region known for high seismic activity. People are usually prepared for such natural disasters, with stringent building codes and emergency drills regularly conducted. There is a strong emphasis on safety, resilience, and community cooperation in these situations.

In comparison, the United States and European countries also have systems in place for natural disasters, but the frequency of earthquakes may not be as high as in Japan. Structures in the US and EU are required to meet seismic safety standards, where applicable. However, the cultural norm of community cooperation seen in Japan during such events might be less prevalent.
