Children And The Earthquake In Turkey
A selections of writing and drawings by middle school students in Turkey about the recent earthquakes in Turkey.
http://www.turkeyresearch.com/earthquake/

Extractions: Childrens painting and drawing about the earthquake The Turkey Research Centre translated a series of essays by Turkish schoolchildren about the August 17 1999 earthquake that killed some 18,000 people in Yalova, Izmit, Golcuk and Adapazari areas of Turkey. Since these essays were written, another earthquake in the nearby area around Bolu and Duzce on November 12th has killed another 800 people and left thousands homeless, some for the second time. The childrens' essays give an idea of the impact of the disaster. In response to many requests, we have now added to this site photographs taken during visits to the earthquake area by Turkey Research Centre volunteers. We hope to add more childrens' pictures soon.

http://www.bitsonline.net/earthquake/

Extractions: This is for the attention of everyone, please spread the message! It is the most grave issue of the hour... children from the disaster hit areas are going MISSING. Due to the chaos and confusion, it is hard to keep track of children whose families are either missing or dead. Traffickers are taking full advantage of this situation. Adoption has been BANNED by the goverment for the time being so anyone who is doing so is doing it ILLEGALLY No individuals can OFFER children brought in from those areas up for adoption No one can re-locate the children from their areas without official permission from the goverment The goverment is giving the names of ORGANISATIONS in the media who have been asked to supervise and take care of the children for the time being - so if you don't know, CHECK with any TV channel, newspaper etc If you are recieving any messages from individuals saying that they have kids up for adoption, please inform the authorities
Southern California Earthquake Center
Participants in research on earthquake hazards from nine institutions transfer earthquake information to the public.

Extractions: The Southern California Earthquake Center (SCEC) is a community of over 600 scientists , students, and others at over 60 institutions worldwide , headquartered at the University of Southern California . SCEC is funded by the National Science Foundation and the U.S. Geological Survey to develop a comprehensive understanding of earthquakes in Southern California and elsewhere, and to communicate useful knowledge for reducing earthquake risk. SCEC's science goal is to understand the physics of the Southern California fault system and develop a model of key aspects of earthquake behavior. To do this, SCEC organizes interdisciplinary research spanning all aspects of earthquake system science, disciplinary activities such as data collection and analysis, and special projects in information technology, earthquake predictability, and other applied research.

Hanshin Earthquake Special
Special report.
http://www.kajima.co.jp/tech/hanshin_earthquake/index.html

Extractions: The Great Hanshin Earthquake which struck at 05:46 in the morning of January 17th visited unprecedented damage to the Hanshin area. Kajima established disaster headquarters in the head office, the Osaka branch (currently the Kansai branch) and the Kobe district office immediately after the earthquake struck, and after confirming the safety of all employees and the extent of damage incurred by the company, we turned our attention to establishing an aid system for emergency recovery objectives. The following describes an outline of this and the progress attained. The South Hyogo Prefecture earthquake, with a magnitude of 7.2 and a maximum acceleration of 800 gal, sent a variety of ripples surging through the construction industry. By the middle of February, Kajima was not only involved in the removal of structural debris and renovation work, but was also implementing damage condition surveys, recovery plans, emergency disposal, and surveys and recovery plans for civil engineering structures such as roadways, sea walls and railways, etc. Our teams of technicians were deployed in affected areas directly after the earthquake in order to collect status reports on damage. The results of this were collected into the 1995 South Hyogo Prefecture Earthquake Damage Survey by January 27th, published as a first edition, covering a total of 186 pages, on February 1st, and immediately became a topic for conversation throughout all areas. A portion of this report is below.
California Earthquake Authority (CEA)
The site of California Department of Insurance provides information on earthquake coverage.
http://www.earthquakeauthority.com/

Extractions: How to file a claim Contact Us Employment Opportunites After a damaging earthquake, we’ll look for the strength to recover anywhere we can – it may come to us in the form of a family photo or a treasured heirloom pulled from the rubble. We will rely on those close to us for personal strength in the face of an overwhelming disaster. And many Californians also will turn to the California Earthquake Authority (CEA) to get the financial strength they’ll need to rebuild. Earthquakes strike without warning. With CEA earthquake insurance, you can recover with the strength to rebuild. Your homeowners policy does not cover earthquake damage – a separate policy is required, at some extra cost. But without earthquake insurance to handle repairs and expenses, you will pay out-of-pocket to fix your home, and live and eat elsewhere, while making mortgage payments until repairs have been completed. Purchasing earthquake insurance from the CEA gives you the peace-of-mind that comes from knowing you can recover. The CEA and its network of leading homeowners insurance companies will work together to help you put your life back on stable ground after a damaging earthquake through unparalleled service and claim-paying ability. Contact your homeowners insurance agent today to purchase earthquake coverage from the CEA.
