Mighty earthquakes measuring 7.8 and 7.5 shook Turkey and Syria.Let us show the solidarity with the affected people and pray for the normalcy at the earliest.
The World had seen many such incidents which are called “The act of God’. You can’t forecast such events, but can definitely plan something to prevent the damages especially the loss of lives as much as possible-
1) Buildings must be built in such a way that they can withstand Earthquake of at least 8.5 magnitude.
2) All the older buildings must have compulsorily structural auditing every year.
3) Residents should be trained to safeguards themselves in such events.
4) Rescue teams must be trained to act immediately to minimise the loss of lives and damages.
5) International community must show solidarity to help the affected country. International brotherhood must be inculcated to help each other without any prejudice.
It is always worth remembering “Hope for the best but prepare for the worst”.
