These labs have prepared for a big earthquake - will it be enough?
Briefly

When the Tōhoku earthquake hit, Masahiro Terada experienced extensive damage to his lab, losing a decade's worth of research. Now, he anchors equipment to prevent similar disasters.
Hideki Tatsukawa's lab at Nagoya University faces a 70% chance of a severe quake in 30 years, leading him to secure taller equipment to avoid trip hazards.
Securing lab equipment is vital, not only for research continuity but also to avoid further dangers like gas leaks and electrical fires during an earthquake.
Koji Fukuoka highlights that anchoring safety measures in laboratories is crucial, saving lives and mitigating additional risks in the aftermath of seismic events.
