Preventing future damage

Since 1960 scientists and researchers have tried to predict when earthquakes are going to happen. Although they have learnt a lot about them they can still only tell an earthquake is coming a few minutes before it comes and destroys the cities. This needs to improve if we are going to know when to evacuate the area so nobody is killed or injured. Technology has greatly improved since then and now scientists can tell where an earthquake could happen from where the plate boundaries are and hopefully in the future they will be able to see just WHEN one will occur.
