An earthquake can cause structural damage to buildings which results in human loss and property loss. While earthquakes themselves are natural occurrences, the damage they cause to structures is often the result of human-caused weaknesses in buildings that make them vulnerable to collapse. Proper engineering and building practices can help reduce loss of life and property from earthquakes.
