Residents of Greene County, Arkansas can learn about protecting themselves during earthquakes at an interactive kiosk recently deployed at the county courthouse, according to an msn.com report.

Erik Wright, the Arkansas emergency management director, said the county is entrenched in a seismic zone, making it important for residents to be aware of the hazards.

Residents need to be prepared because unlike other natural disasters, earthquakes cannot be predicted, according to the department's website.

The kiosk is the first earthquake educational kiosk in Arkansas.
