What have we done to minimise the casualities in disasters like 9/11 or any major earthquake?

Question

I m talking about new advancement or new techniques in debris clearing and helping those under it.

Answer 1

1. For information about the capital's state of readiness, go to the London Fire Brigade's website. There is extensive information there.
2. For information about the preparations to help with disasters abroad, go to the International Rescue Committee's website. There is plenty of information there too.
3. There is also the International Rescue Corps. Have a look at their website and see what they have done recently.

Answer 2

They're still pointing fingers at each other. (USA) We still don't check flight schools, we still have 6 dollar an hour security guards at the airports, and no new security at our ports. We have a lot of anger stirred up over border security in Mexico, but we're not allowed to stop people of middle east descent because that would be 'typecasting'.

Answer 3

Don't talk daft. Humans don't think like that. They just went out and murdered 600,000 more people - in Iraq.
Don't you understand the USA sorry GW Bush needed 9/11 and he or his successor might need it again. He's not going to like it if you go out and start saving a lot of people - its the casualty list they need. That's what scares people

Answer 4

very little. but the process has been commercialized and been given to private comapnies. hopefully they will come up with profitable money saving techniques--that will be cheap, effective, and efficient.
