The recent 7.1-magnitude earthquake that rocked Nepal early Tuesday serves as a sobering reminder of how important preparation is. The United States Geological Survey (USGS) reports that the tremors, which were felt in areas of India including Bihar, West Bengal, and the Delhi-NCR region, happened around 6:35 am, roughly 93 kilometers northeast of Lobuche, close to the Nepal-Tibet border. Furthermore, according to Reuters, Chinese authorities recorded a 6.8-magnitude earthquake near Shigatse City, Tibet.
