Earthquake is Much More Terrible than I Thought Jiang, Do you know any good and reputable charity in China that will accept donations for the earthquake victims? I want to give to the victims who need help, it may not be much from one person, but you have many readers. It is important to rescue the people that are still buried, it is also very important to make sure the survivors are cared for. Food, medical supply, water, clothing, shelters are all necessities. These all cost money, and I would like to help. I saw an old man picking up kennels of corn from the rubbles in the news, anything we can do to help alleviate the pain of these civilians should be done. unfortunately, most of the Chinese government officials are not trust worthy, I do not want to give my hard earn money to line their pockets, I want to help my own people. 7.9 scale earthquake will shake up a lot of buildings, especially older buildings. I do not believe the people who built the school intentionally built it less than desirable. I think it is more important to rescue those who are in danger and those who need help instead of focusing on the investigation. It can be done later, after these displaced people are taken care of. Anything you can found, or, if you can organize an effort to help them, I will gladly send my help. |

Earthquake and Flee from 18th Floor I read an article from a rescue expert a few years ago. The best place to be during earth quake would be in fetal position right next to a large piece of furniture or big stack of paper. The reason why is because these large object, or paper will take the blunt from the fallen debris, and make a little bit of survival room for you right next to the object or paper. During Earth Quake, what causes the most fatality and injuries are the large debris fallen on the victims. Of course, it will help if you can at least put a blanket or thick clothing over your head or body to minimize the exposed body parts to avoid as much debris as possible. It is very dangerous to be anywhere near the door way, because the door frame can collapse and cut you in half. If you did not get out in time, stay away from the stair ways. Do not ever go under a bed, or desk, because this objects can collapse under weight, and smashed you. Next to it is the best place to be. I think it is call the "Triangle of survival" If you are working in the office, the printing room is great, because usually, they have plenty of paper, and paper compress very little, so, your chance of surviving it is much better. I hope this one day help someone in need. |
