Earthquake/tsunami in Japan (2011)

1.
Japan suffered a earthquale recently and they need all of the help they can get, in the aftermath, a tsunami occured depleting all their resouces and they are doomed.

2.
I would send water, clothes, food, money, everything I had that helps me live, I would help the people survive by giiving them these things and keeping faith in them.

3.
I would tell other countries that help is on the way, although I couldn't do alot for them.

4.
I would tell them to save resoucers somewhere they cant be touched or damage so they can have something to live on, or prepare for the disaster, like leave before it comes.

1. I would choose the most prevalant disater. The March 11, 2011 one which killed an undetermined amount of people but it seems the worst to me. I mean it is a nuclear leak.

2. The resources I would send would be Food water and toiletry.

3.I would ask the other countries for help like money and to help in any way they can.

4.I would ask if they could do things every month or so so that they can prevent it the best way they can. Also to evacuate the town when they do get notice.

Tsunami / Earthquake 2011

I would tell presidents and prime minister to make sure they have an escape plan for their country, they should have warehouses full of food and water and they should keep a good count of the country so when a natural disaster does happen they country knows who to bring things to .

4. I would ask for them to build houses on those platforms to help protect and save us all more money that we can use to build other things to better our worlds.

Kameceya said...

The country that would recieve my help is The Indian Ocean Tsunami of 2004.

1. The criteria I used, was i saw how many people were reported dead or missing, and how much damage was done.
2. The resources I would send are food, water, and medicine to help the wounded. I would also send people to help rebuild the houses of the 2.2 million people you lost there homes. The I would develop centers for the people without homes, and I would help rebuild schools.
3. I would let the other ERHA no of the different countries situates, and how this could effect them in the future. I would then let the public no so the could offer assistance in anyway possible.
4. I would let them no how each diaster started and what caused each one that way they could be prepared and recognize the signs. Then i would give them information to prevent futher people from being killed during the disaster.

Earthquake/tsunami in Japan (2011)
1) The criteria I used was in teh article it said that there is still an undetermined number of people dead.
2)Some Resources I would send would be the Red Cross. I would send the Red Cross because the Red Cross could help find all of the missing people and help with food and clothes.
I would help the people affected by making sure that the resources I send would have extra stuff for everyone so that if they ran out there would be a lot more.
3)I would engage the global community to help countries I couldnt because if people from all over fhelped out it wouldnt take as long as it would just one community.
4)Sometings that I would tell the presidents and/or prime ministers would be to just help out their country the best that they can because the people of their country will be thankful if they did.

*Earthquake/tsunami in Japan (2011):

1. I made my decision by the duration of each earthquake for each country. The earthquake/tsunami in Japan had the highest duration which was 8.9 which was worse than the others. This earthquake could have left more injured people, dead bodies, and lost people because of the strong impact (duration).

2. Some of the resources I would send would be clothing, food, water, rescue boats, helicopters, and injury kits. I would help the people affected by rescuing them and bringing them to another state or country closest to japan for medical treatment/food/water. Medical treatment/food/water should be enough to survive when rescued and treated.

3. I would engage the global community to help the countries I could not by telling many people to donate food, clothing, toys, books, and money to help other countries who may look up to Japan for different things such as resources.

4. I don't think i would be able to tell presidents/ prime ministers of countries prone to earthquake and tsunamis to prepare for future disasters, because storms/disasters can come at any time, place, or moment! But, if there are countries who are right next to Japan, then I would tell them to be prepared for the aftershock of the earthquake that hit Japan because all of that water/wind/power has to go somewhere.

Earthquake/tsunami in Japan (2011)
A:: A magnitude 8.9 quake strikes off the northeast coast of Japan, sending a tsunami across the Pacific.

i would send da following resources: clothes,money,food,transportation,medical health etc.

by sending the remaining to a different country.

to prepare for the earthquake just like a fire drill that we practice here at skoo...also we should have a evacuation plan.
