Hotel Saada in Agadir, Morocco, before and after an earthquake devastated the city in 1960. Researchers at the University of Arkansas are studying how survivors and current residents perceive earthquake preparedness and risk.
This is an example of a building where the walls are not reinforced, which will endanger the building's occupants and passersby in the event of an earthquake.
Since the earthquake in 1960, Agadir, which killed 15,000 and left 35,000 survivors homeless, the city has rebuilt and grown into a popular resort town with a population of 680,000. This photo, taken in 2005, shows the beachfront growth.
