Important Note: While Florida isn't known for frequent or powerful earthquakes, it's still important to be prepared for potential hazards like:
* Ground shaking: Can damage buildings and infrastructure.
* Tsunamis: While less likely in Florida, they can occur due to earthquakes in the Caribbean or along the eastern coast.
* Secondary hazards: Earthquakes can cause landslides, liquefaction (ground turning to mud), and disruptions to utilities (water, power, gas).
For more information about earthquake preparedness in Florida, you can consult the Florida Division of Emergency Management and the United States Geological Survey (USGS).
