On this day, we are coming with the goal of increasing public awareness on how to avoid the possible risk of earthquakes, evaluating the efforts made in the past, and improving our shortcomings as well.
In order to reduce the risk of earthquakes, he emphasized that the role of the communication sector is important to increase public awareness through wide publicity.
