In 1960 an earthquake in Agadir claimed almost half of the city's population. That gives you an idea about how badly prepared they were. City has been rebuild (except from the hill were you can see the memorial words at night) supposedly under earthquake sagety norms but that isn't the case of the rest of the country.
