earthquake survivors
Seismic event refugees
Earthquake survivors are people who have lived through an earthquake, particularly one that caused significant destruction or loss of life.
The term emphasizes having endured a traumatic event rather than simply being present: Earthquake survivors searched through rubble for belongings.
Relief efforts typically focus on providing earthquake survivors with shelter, water, and medical care.
