Earthquakes - Case Study
- Immediate Response
- USS Carl Vinson - 600 000 emergency food
rations, 130 000 litres drinking water, 19 helicopters
- US naval ship - fully equipped floating hospital
- Port-au-Prince - treated injured survivors
- Dominican Republic - first country to give aid - water, food, heavy-lifting machinery
- hospitals made available for survivors
- hospitals made available for survivors
- USS Carl Vinson - 600 000 emergency food
rations, 130 000 litres drinking water, 19 helicopters
- Secondary
- By Aug - 20 million cubic metres of rubble - thousands bodies = impassable
- outbreak of disease e.g. cholera in camps - killing thousands
- Port-au-Prince morgues - overwhelmed - tens of
thousands of bodies buried - minimise disease spread
- Port-au-Prince morgues - overwhelmed - tens of
thousands of bodies buried - minimise disease spread
- outbreak of disease e.g. cholera in camps - killing thousands
- By Aug - 20 million cubic metres of rubble - thousands bodies = impassable
- Haiti = 7.0 on Richter scale - 12th Jan 2010 -
North American plate sliding past Caribbean
- Primary Effects
- 1700 = dead & 1000 trapped in rubble
- Bridges along Bullet train = destroyed
- Hanshin Expressway collapsed - crushed cars
- 180 000 houses = destroyed
- Evacuation - Osaka
- 1700 = dead & 1000 trapped in rubble
- Long-Term
- Mitsubishi industry closed - trade at port - disrupted
- Re-building houses & Repairing water supplies = expensive
- 8 months - rail services returning to normal
- Mitsubishi industry closed - trade at port - disrupted

- Humanitarian aid - countries pledged
funds, sent rescue teams & engineers
- Temporary schools created
- Humanitarian aid - countries pledged
funds, sent rescue teams & engineers
- Primary Effects
- 1.5 million - homeless
250 000 destroyed
- Port-au-Prince - main harbour - damaged = slowed down transporting of aid
- 5000 schools & 50 hospitals destroyed
- Main jail - collapsed = hundreds criminals escaped - spread fear to survivors
- Water pipes burst - contaminated water = massive shortages for drinking

- Prediction, Protection & Preparation
- Prediction
- Japan monitors earth tremors across country - latest tech.
- Strange animal behaviour - China - Haicheng evacuated in 1975
- Japan monitors earth tremors across country - latest tech.
- Protection
- earthquake-proof buildings - don't collapse/crush people
- windows shutters close automatically - detects tremors - prevents falling glass
- new buildings - open areas - people to assemble if evacuated
- Transamerica Pyramid - San Francisco - rubber shock absorbers in foundations - absorb tremors & reduce shaking
- earthquake-proof buildings - don't collapse/crush people
- Preparation
- earthquake drills - Japansese schools
- earthquake kits
- hospitals regularly practise for disaster - trained/ready for real earthquake
- earthquake drills - Japansese schools
- Prediction
