Meade: Obviously natural disasters are not preventable but their impacts can be reduced with the help of data science and engineering. Earthquakes can be extremely disastrous especially as we saw in Japan when nuclear powerplants fall near fault lines and are unprepared to face the damage and earthquake may cause. If we are trying to design a nuclear power plant, what magnitude earthquake should be the baseline for it to survive? Would it be possible to simulate this?
