The mountains run right down through the province. This is why we see so many place in this region each year. Most of them go unnoticed because theyre not very powerful. This one certain to make a lot of damage in the region because of the Historic Towns there, ancient villages, with Old Buildings. But as we saw with an earthquake that took place in 2009, it wasnt those Old Buildings that crumbled. It was the new constct fell that trapped some of the people. After that earthquake in 2009, a lot of money was put into Recovery Efforts and making sure the smaller villages in inaccessible areas have the equipment they need to rescue people and to be prepared if an earthquake takes place.
