And earthquake? Lasts maybe a minute? If your buildingd are built well enough there will be relatively little damage, and things will return to normal. Only the relatively rare quakes break everything or cause secondary events that destroy everything (large fires, tsunami and the like).
I've lived in both regions. The only thing I can offer is you can see the tiger coming instead of the ambush in the dark?

Personally, the earthquakes are done faster and we can have the post-apocalypse landscape and roving gangs in a drier scenario
