SAFETY

The safety given in the worksite presentation was the usual warnings. With one exception: what to do in case of an earthquake. RUN. Get outside.

IIn the aftermath of the BIG one, April 2015, there have been continuing aftershocks. Including one yesterday morning at 5:20. Woke me up and initially felt like someone was moving my bed. Then, like a freight train under the floor. Lasted about 20 seconds. The epicenter of this one was 100 kilometers away.

Data:
8,796 killed
22,300+ injured
400,000 houses destroyed
280,000 damaged

Many buildings still awaitingrestoration.
