Why is there a plague after the earthquake?

Plague will appear after the earthquake because the water source and water supply system in the disaster area are destroyed or polluted after the strong earthquake, and the living environment in the disaster area is seriously deteriorated, which is easy to cause epidemic diseases. The social situation is closely related to the epidemic situation after the disaster.

Earthquake secondary disasters are disasters caused by direct disasters that destroy the original balance or stability of nature or society. Mainly: fire, flood, toxic gas leakage, plague and so on. Among them, plague is the most common and serious secondary disaster.

Extended data:

Most earthquake fires are caused by the loss of control of fire sources after the collapse of houses. Because the fire control system is damaged after the earthquake, the social order is chaotic, and the fire is not easy to be effectively controlled, which often leads to great disasters.

During the earthquake, the seabed strata break, and some strata rise or sink violently, which leads to the whole water layer from the seabed to the sea surface shaking violently, which will lead to the occurrence of earthquakes and tsunamis.

If the earthquake occurs in mountainous areas and platforms, the cliffs or platforms that are already in an unstable state will collapse or landslide due to the strong vibration of the earthquake. Although this secondary disaster is local, it is often devastating, so that the whole village and family are completely buried.
