An urgent appeal: earthquake search and rescue manual translation

by:和菜头

Translation urgent appeals were made by the translator involved in the translation of this item: The U.S. Federal Emergency Management Agency "FireWire urban disaster search and rescue manual".


four Chuan Wenchuan 5.12 after the earthquake, the most urgent is the search and rescue survivors. According to the British fire and rescue brigade of theinformationshow: the earthquake was in a long time The survivors were rescued after the storm, not a miracle. Many collapsed buildings will be retained in the cellular structure of the hole, people survived. There are many examples: the earthquake in Mexico City, many of the survivors, including the collapse of the hospitals in the baby, were rescued after a week trapped in 1998, many of the Armenian earthquake survivors were rescued after nine days trapped in 1992 an earthquake in the Philippines Ankle fractures, severe dehydration of the trapped survivors were rescued 13 days later. And so on. Therefore, after the earthquake, disaster relief in the command did not check all the hole before, has not yet been completed in the "selective removal of the wreckage,"before, in the hope that all is not lost before, we must not give up easily or delay search and rescue.


adhere to more than one day, perhaps we can save one more life, we completed as early as one hour of translation, perhaps as early as the survivors will be able to let one hour freed. Translation is completed, we will do our best to the documents transmitted to the relevant departments. Really help on the busy, we do not know. But if you believe that there is a hope that we can help on the busy, please to.
