The
India’s RMO has the finest tools and the finest of minds when it
comes to Readiness at an earthquake, They managely think and proved
that each process or each of the way to evacuate or to be ready has
benn analyze and proven by RMO in India.
Comparatively,
Philippines is more comprehensive towards their Preparedness plan
because India focused more towards infrastructures’ enhancements.
Meanwhile, the preparedness plan of Philippines focuses more about
the security of a person.
India;
India focuses more towards keeping the buildings secure and less
towards the security of the people. They have great plans towards
high buildings. Some of their buildings are always repairing per
month or either enhancing it. It is important to keep a facility safe
but they forgot to keep the people inside that sort of facility safe.
Philippines;
Philippines has great plans against strong natural disasters they do
not only focus about the building itself but the people in it; making
that a step better against India. But the problem is that they only
give minimal knowledge to improve the buildings’ stability. They
help a lot too because they help you prepare a survival bag/ kit and
what you should find inside that bag.
In conclusion, Each countries contains different plans and methods towards dealing an Earthquake. The important thing is that there is a manual linked towards helping people. Countries experience different types of Earthquake after all that is why most countries differ from their Earthquake Plan.
India is note that prepared but they still have a plan for their buildings and they kept in mind that enhancements of buildings is a must. Although they do don’t include first aid kits and survival kits in their plan. If a strong earthquake would hit India, their buildings will be damaged but destroyed because the plan of their earthquake plans it is focusing on the buildings. In case of lethal incidents, it would be hard for them to adjust to the situation because the survival kits are not included.
Earthquake is unpredictable that is why we have to be prepared at all cost so no further damage will be done and no people would lose their over such incidents. After all, prevention is better than cure.
