Earthquake in Pohang

In my environmental science class we have learned about an earthquake and learned how it is made and how strong it can be. Recently, there has been a series of earthquakes occurring around Pohang. My friends  told me they felt the earthquake even though they live quite far away from where the earthquake hit. It's been rare that earthquake occurred in Korea, and everybody seems to be scared, yet there has not been much words from the government for disaster preparation. 
It was very scary because Pohang earthquake have happened on last year when students are taking "Suneng" test. Because of the earthquake, the Suneng test was delayed for a week. Many people were at first not worried too much about the earthquake. However, when it happened again in Pohang, people are starting to be in fear.

I learned that Korea is not safe from earthquakes and there must be measures to prevent much disaster resulting from the catastrophe they cause. After doing some research, I have learned that Korea is no more safe country from earthquakes and should prevent from the catastrphe.
