I’m a geology student, and I often want to help prepare my friends/family for large earthquakes. But whenever I try to talk to them about the science behind earthquakes, and the risks, they always get scared and ask me to stop before I can get anywhere. My belief has always been that if I understand the science and what will actually happen, I’ll be less scared and more prepared but this seems to be the opposite for them. What’s the best way to tell friends, family, co-workers and etc. about the risks behind a megathrust quake?
