A Beginner’s Guide to Earthquake Disaster Management Table of Contents Introduction What You Should Know about Earthquakes What Are the Aftermaths of an Earthquake Which Are the Safe Places in Your House Fear of Earthquakes First Aid Training Behavior of Children during Earthquakes Emergency Earthquake Disaster Kit Home Extinguishers for Electric Fires Items for Your Car Readying your house for An Earthquake Building Codes and Standards On the Road during an Earthquake Evacuation of your house Conclusion Author Bio Publisher Introduction Earthquakes have long been powerful natural calamities influencing the life and times of mankind down the centuries. One would not be surprised if the lost lands of Atlantis were buried under the sea because of a powerful underwater earthquake. In the same manner the Himalayan mountain range came out from under the Tethys sea millenniums ago, due to this upheaval when the tectonic plates of the land shifted and changed the topography of what is now known as the Indian subcontinent. So is it a wonder that earthquakes have always been considered by humans down the ages to be caused due to the wrath of the gods or due to some other supernatural mysterious agency, which created and destroyed and was terrible in its intensity while it lasted. Excavations in ancient China brought to light earthquake indicators made millenniums ago. These were frogs made up of metal, which had light round balls in their mouths. The moment the ground trembled in the vicinity, the vibrations would reach the metal, and the balls would drop down into the bowls underneath the frogs’ mouths. I have a feeling that the ancient Chinese were used to earthquakes, because as far as I know, an earthquake needed to happen, before the vibrations would register. And at that time, it would be a situation of save yourself instead of looking at the earthquake indicator.

Preparing Your 72 Hour Kit Why Passports? Survival – Psychological Effect Of a Disaster Training Your Family for Survival Practice Building a Shelter Outdoors Food to Survive Pemmican Disaster Management Classes – Yes or No? Conclusion Appendix Family disaster plans Making Biltong the traditional way Author Bio- Introduction This book is all about survival – survival of the fittest, survival during man-made and natural calamities and catastrophes, and how to cope with disaster. I will be telling you about historical and present-day examples in this book, about disaster management and about attitudes of people when faced with disaster. So this book is just not about managing a disaster on a personal level, it is How about coping and being prepared for disaster when and where it strikes. The 21st century, unfortunately, with its state-of-the-art technology and technical development is one of the most dangerous eras in the history of mankind. However much we talk about world peace, we know in our hearts of hearts that that will never happen, because then man will not have anything else on which to quarrel and argue with his fellow man. Good sense has never been the first priority of mankind when ambition and greed and ulterior motives of Ich Uber Alles lurks in the hearts of men. And that is his first instinct, conquer, rule, and destroy. Apart from man-made catastrophes, unfortunately, Nature has also begun to take a hand in the process of destruction. And she is more powerful than 1000 nuclear bombs. In fact, she is quite capable of putting man in his tiny little space in her scheme of things. So one may survive the wrath of man against man, but one is rather helpless when faced with nature in all her destructive splendor and glory. And that is why man has to use his good sense to face reality and understand that his family and his survival depends on a little bit of strategic planning, right now, when he has the time and means to gather unto himself the necessary things which can mean life and death, for he and his family. Now what made me decide to write on survival with tips and techniques? I was rather surprised, when I went to a friend’s house, and saw that she had four bags packed and placed at strategic exits. When she saw me looking at them, quizzically, she just told me, “Oh, those are just our family survival kits. It is better to be safer than to be sorry and to be caught napping and unprepared.” I came back home and began to think. Now, here was a clearheaded family, who knew that disaster could strike anywhere, anytime. Besides, we live in an area, which is prone to earthquakes. Waking up in the middle of the night, to find our ceiling trembling is part and parcel of our lives and we have got used to it. Also, we know that one fine day, it may literally and figuratively fall on us.

A comprehensive guide for surviving emergencies both big and small Hurricanes. Tornadoes. Floods. Pandemics. Wildfires. Earthquakes. Droughts. Landslides. Trillions of dollars in damages. Billions of people affected. Worldwide shutdowns. Terrorist attacks. Gas explosions. Bridge collapses. Car, train, and plane crashes. These sudden and unexpected events make it feel as if chaos rules the world, but expecting the unexpected can mitigate the damage and loss to you and your loved ones. It pays to be prepared—and to know how to react and respond when disaster does strike. When catastrophe strikes, no matter how big or small, being ready and knowing what to do can be the difference between the loss of life and survival. The Disaster Survival Guide: How to Prepare For and Surviving Floods, Fires, Earthquakes and More shows how to prepare and respond to any crisis, man-made or natural, wherever it might occur and however small or large it might be. Using what has been learned from previous disasters, this indispensable book illustrates how others survived past crises. Critical decisions faced during an emergency are considered: whether to stay or to go, where to go, how to stay informed, and more. Covering the basics needs from food, water and first aid to shelter, security, and self-defense, this informative guide walks readers through the steps it takes to create their own personal emergency action plan. It provides a catalog of the skills, tools, and items needed to endure and overcome a variety of situations and circumstances. It pinpoints hazards unique to different terrains, locations, situations, and settings, too, and it helps identify and understand possible threats. Just as important as learning how to survive the worst is learning how to survive everyday emergencies ranging from bee stings, snakebites, and allergic reactions to house fires, gas explosions, and more. It’s all important, and it’s all in The Disaster Survival Guide. Truly essential, this fact-filled book takes a clear-eyed look at what to do should the worst happen.

This book explores practices and approaches on pre-disaster prevention and post-disaster reconstruction for vulnerable countries and areas enhancing earthquake disaster resilience. Destructive earthquakes have frequently occurred in urban or rural areas around the world, causing severe damage on human societies. Pre-earthquake prevention and post-earthquake reconstruction effect the disaster resilience building and long-term development of the affected communities and areas. In recent years, researchers from around the world have made a lot of efforts to study on the theme ‘earthquake disaster prevention and reconstruction’. The chapters in this edited volume contribute to the literature of earthquake disaster research from scientific, social and institutional aspects. These interdisciplinary studies mainly focus on human and policy dimensions of earthquake disaster, such as earthquake risk mitigation, social-physical resilience building, resilience capability assessment, healthcare surge capacity, house reconstruction, the roles of schools, households, civil societies and public participation in earthquake disaster prevention and reconstruction. The authors come from several counties, including China, Bangladesh, Iran, New Zealand, Saudi Arabia, the United Kingdom, Denmark, and Indonesia, covering the cases from those countries prone to earthquakes. These nine distinctive chapters have been elaborately selected and integrated from the international, ranked, peer-reviewed journal, Environmental Hazards.
