Venezuela and Natural Disasters

If you wait for the government to help, you will be waiting a long time. You are on your own: Natural Disasters.

Remind me... What were the conditions in the Superdome in New Orleans, after Katrina?

So there has been a couple of earthquakes. Venezuela is not prepared. Do you think your state, or FEMA would be?

Now, this is Venezuela which has very little on trained emergency services and up to the standard and equipment of the U.S.1 But even if they had that kind of preparation, they cannot just materialize anywhere instantly and wave a magic wand to remove tons of broken concrete slabs to get people out.

Do your preps include tools? I have a couple of crowbars, I keep thinking I should be a Halligan bar, what the firemen use, but the quality examples are expensive. And I don't live in Earthquake country.
