<abstract displayLabel="Summary">Mother Nature is still a dominant force despite the amazing progress mankind has made in the technology arena in the last few decades. Earthquake is one of the many natural catastrophes that people are extremely fearful of. There is still a lot of unknowns about it as seismologists cannot predict the timing, location, and magnitude of future earthquakes. In this Cover Story, experts talk about modelling and analytics, the protecction gap and predict what would happen if a massive quake hit the Himalayas.</abstract>
