My name is Efrain Huaman Carrion and I am a volunteer firefighter in Peru. I’m part of the International American Rescue Team. Today’s date is September 26, 2002. Last year, I volunteered at the World Trade Center after the attacks on the Twin Towers.

My boss, Douglas Copp, called me on the telephone. I work in printing in Peru and am a volunteer firefighter but, in my country, you can’t live on this because we do it for free. My boss called me and I wanted to come the first day but there were no flights. I called various agencies and after 6 days, I was able to get a flight coming here from Peru. You had to come by helicopter or other ways because there were no commercial flights.

I’ve worked in different countries in the area of rescue. Under the direction of Douglas Copp, we’ve worked in places such as India, Turkey, El Salvador, Mexico, California and in El Salvador, Peru, and Colombia after earthquakes. My boss has experience with over 987 rescue actions. I haven’t participated in as many, but I have experience as a firefighter.

I volunteered for more than a month and the experience was unimaginable. More than a year later, I still feel so sad inside and often have nightmares. It’s so sad to think that human beings are capable of such destruction. In this world there are people who build and those who destroy but unfortunately this is how life is.

When the attacks happened, I didn’t think twice about coming to help but I couldn’t get a flight. I was finally able to buy a ticket to come help my brother firefighters and police.

In the work that I do, I don’t see religion, skin color or social status. I am moved by my Christian spirit to help those around me. Spiritually and in my heart, I like to help.

What happened to my brothers and sisters here in New York is so unfortunate and I wanted to do whatever I could to help with all my heart. I would compare what I saw and lived through last year to the Biblical Apocalypse. It’s too sad to describe in words. I can only compare it to the Apocalypse. I pray that something like this will never happen again here or in any other country.

One human being is worth more than all of the gold in the world, more than millions of worlds together. A human being is a marvelous thing, God’s creation and I hope nothing like this ever happens again. We have to respect, love and help others and come together.

We should try to spend time with our parents and brothers and sisters. Sometimes we spend time with our friends and neighbors but we forget to spend time with our families and we realize this too late. We take advantage of all the things in our lives. Those who are married and have children, who have brothers and sisters living close by, should give them their affection, time, and love.

And all I have to say to my brother firefighters, police, and civilians, including the President, Mr. Giuliani (the Mayor of NY), and the Governor is that I wish, with all my heart, that God blesses you and gives you the strength to move forward and that this pain is reparable. I know, in my heart, that behind all of this, God is demonstrating his love and strength and that you, our North American friends, sisters and brothers, most of all those in New York, will move forward and that this country will grow five times stronger than it is now.

My wish and my heartfelt thoughts are that God blesses you. I, Efrain Huaman Carrion, Peruvian firefighter, wish this for you.

(In English) I love you New York. I love you people of New York. Thank you very much.

CONOZCA AL BOMBERO PERUANO QUE PARTICIPÒ EN EL RESCATE DEL 11S EN EE.UU , FUENTE : WWW.TUTEVE.TV

Conozca al Bombero peruano que participò en el rescate  del 11S en EE.UU , con este  titular , publicado el 11 de setiembre del 2011 por  http://www.tuteve.tv  en memoria de los diez años de este tràgico suceso y  que a  continuaciòn transcribo .
  Directo entre escombros y deshechos, Efraín Huamán tomaba parte de una misión. Viajó desde Perú para buscar sobrevivientes tras el atentado del 11 de setiembre.
  Diez años después, Huamán señala que el 11 de setiembre fue el desastre más horrible y más catastrófico que sus ojos pudieron presenciar.
  Efraín Huamán trabajó como bombero en Perú muchos años y fue a mediados del año dos mil cuando viaja a estados unidos para unirse a un equipo de rescate.
  Es allí donde el 11 de setiembre del 2001, su compañía recibe una llamada de que las torres gemelas acababan de caer. 
  “Rescatando por semanas, los pedazos de cuerpos de las personas, seres humanos; entre ellos padres y madres de familia”, manifestó.
  Hoy se cumplen 10 años de aquel atentado terrorista que marcó no solo a los EE.UU. si no a el resto del mundo. las imágenes reavivan el dolor y terror que sintieron las personas tras ver como esas imperiosas torres gemelas se convertían en escombros.  
Este  martes  5 de junio  a horas  10 a.m  en el  auditorio “Francisco Aguinaga Castro” de nuestra Universidad  Nacional Pedro Ruiz Gallo , tendremos a este valeroso compatriota  nuestro quien por su vasta  experiencia en  rescate  de víctimas en desastres, ha participado en  Turquía, Italia, Francia, Afganistán , Irán, La India ,  Baja California,  Armenia – Colombia, Perú, Chile ,  entre otros países.
Los esperamos

No tiene medios para transportar a Cuerpo de Bomberos más necesitados

PERUANO CONSIGUE EQUIPOS EN DONACION POR VALOR DE 300 MIL DOLARES
ROBERTO BUSTAMANTE Coord. Red Democratica NY
NUEVA YORK, Un valeroso bombero peruano que participó en las operaciones de rescate en la zona cero, en los escombros del World Trade Center, gestionó y consiguió equipos en donación por un valor aproximado de 300 mil dólares pero el problema que aún no ha resuelto es conseguir los medios para transportarlo y entregarlo a los cuerpos de bomberos voluntarios más necesitados dentro del territorio peruano.
“Son equipos costosos lo mismo que uniformes de rescate y el mayor problema es que no encuentro los medios económicos para transportarlo al Perú”, afirmó Efraín Huamán Carrión, de 36 años de edad, voluntario del Cuerpo de bomberos en el distrito de Pueblo Libre, quien logró viajar a Nueva York por sus propios recursos para unirse a las brigadas de rescate. Los equipos donados en perfectas condiciones, proceden de the American Rescue Team International (ARTI) en los Estados Unidos, con sede Sandia Park, en Nueva México.
Huamán Carrión, ayudó a sacar los cadáveres de los escombros en las Torres Gemelas y su labor le sirvió para ser felicitado por el alcalde de Nueva York Rudolph Giuliani y el jefe de bomberos Thomas Von Hesse. Aún dolido por la tragedia provocada por los ataques terroristas, el bombero Huamán, expresó su agradecimiento por el valioso donativo a The American Rescue Team en Estados Unidos, en la persona de Douglas F. Copp, Jefe de Rescates y Desastres, al mismo tiempo que solicitó a las Autoridades Peruanas que le faciliten el transporte de los equipos donados que redundará en beneficio de la seguridad de la población peruana.
“Queremos dar nuestra contribución a los hermanos peruanos y sus cuerpos de bomberos en los pueblos más alejados y me satisface el trabajo que hizo el bombero Efrain Huamán en Nueva York”, sostuvo Douglas Copp, quien trabajó arduamente en las operaciones de rescate y es uno de los artifices de la nueva técnica”Triángulo de la Vida” que puede salvar vidas en casos de desastres.
“El Bombero Huaman Carrión es un ejemplo para nuestra comunidad y estamos agradecidos a Douglas Copp,ejecutivo de ARTI por su desinteresada ayuda al pueblo peruano al donar un costoso equipo de rescate”, dijo David Camacho, experto en artes gráficas en Nueva Jersey, al reunirse y prestar ayuda a los rescatistas.
La Cancilleria Peruana, no respondió de inmediato al llamado del bombero Huamán Carrión, quien dirige las operaciones de rescate del equipo ARTI en el Perú. Parte del equipo donado se encuentra en Alburquerque y en Nuevo México, a donde viajó el bombero peruano posterior a su tarea de rescate en Nueva York.
Nacido en la ciudad de Chiclayo, el bombero Huaman Carrión, tiene experiencia en proveer ayuda humanitaria a la ciudadanía. Hace poco pudo repartir medicinas en Arequipa, donadas por instituciones filantrópicas. La Primera Dama de la Nación, Eliane Karp de Toledo, le pidió a Huamán Carrión adiestrar a jovencitos y miembros de la comunidad en labores de rescate. “Mi labor es del todo voluntaria y creo que todos tenemos que prepararnos ante cualquier desastre natural y es bueno que conozcan las técnicas del triángulo de la vida que ha salvado muchas vidas al desplomarse sus viviendas”, precisó el bombero.
Los  invitamos  este martes  5 de junio  a horas  10 a.m en el Auditorio “J. Francisco Aguinaga Castro” – UNPRG, el Conversatorio : “Experiencia de Bombero Peruano en el Rescate  de Vìctimas en Torres Gemelas” , testimonio  de Efraín Huamán . INGRESO  LIBRE.

‘Duck and Cover’ Kills More People, in India.

Duck and Cover kills more people, in India, Building Collapse.

There was a collapse of an illegally constructed building in Mumbai; which collapsed killing 62 people. You can watch the video report, by clicking here.

Most importantly read the rest of this article/blog post and the ‘triangle of life blogs and videos, on this blogsite and at http://www.amerrescue.org, to learn how they could have survived with ‘the triangle of life’:

Duck and Cover kills more people, in India, Building Collapse.

Building Collapse , in Mumbai, India kills 62, today’s date ..illegal structure.
Doug CoppSome people may not be aware that this is a common problem, in many great cities. Lima has a section of hundreds of thousands of buildings being constructed illegally, Istanbul the same . The government puts in streets, lights etc later but doesn’t remove or give title to the hundreds of thousands of illegal constructors. I have spent a lot of time around and in these places.Mumbai is similar but it even has illegal skyscrapers. After the Gujarat Earthquake (100,000 dead) I was invited to a Penthouse Party, in a skyscraper. I asked the billionaire owner why the 50 story building, next to us, had all the lights turned off. He told me that it was shut down. For political reasons and financial revenge the owner was allowed to complete the construction of the skyscraper; but he was never allowed to occupy it. It was left as a symbol, of the power, of the individual who shut him down.FYI buildings collapse, in Istanbul, almost on a daily basis. Mumbai and Lima less so.
Comment 2:
The billionaire invited me to his Penthouse Party for drinks and talks because I was a ’cause celebre’, throughout India. The above youtube link is one of a hundred youtube videos of my saving lives around the world.(amerrescue and amerrescuegmail channels). The video was a thank you gift form the ancestral ‘ruler’ of the Gujarat Earthquake Region, Maharajaha Pragmalji !!!. He is seen on the grounds of one of his 7  Palaces (The one that I was his guest at). He thanks me for saving his people’s lives, reducing suffering and calming his nerves.
Tha Maharakah wrote a letter to Doug Copp, thanking him.

The Indian Government was very grateful to me for creating the mitigation plan that reduced the Ministry of Health’s estimate of 250,000 deaths due to a plague outbreak..to 0 (Zero). The death of 100,000 people during the earthquake was expected to be minor to the loss of life from subsequent events.

FYI, 100,000 people died in Western style buildings and none died in the traditional, rural Indian Structure. There are a few pictures of me crawling inside of these Western Style Structures and some squashed bodies, at my website.

Unfortunately the ‘triangle of life’ had not yet spread throughout India or most of those people would have survived.

The following was copied from,the home page, of my website, The Business and Economy Magazine Article (Premier Business Magazine of India) describes ‘Duck and cover’ as ‘passe’:

*Read the Business Journal Magazine Article*

*or go directly to the Business and Economy Magazine website*

Excerpt/Quote:

“Techniques like drop, cover and hold-on are passé. “Duck and cover results in a 98% death rate when buildings collapse. The only people who survive are those who do the ‘triangle of life’. This is either intentionally or as a result of panicking, fleeing, being knocked to the floor and somehow finding themselves in a survivable void. If the masses followed the ‘triangle of life’, there would be a major shift from death to survivability, in earthquakes,” says Doug Copp, Professor of Disaster Mitigation at the International Institute of Disaster Reduction Institute.”

Ravi Inder Singh Correspondent—FEATURES Business & Economy, 4P’s Business and Marketing, and The Sunday Indian (TSI)

Comments from the ‘experts’:

On the post,  Luke Dam,  an emergency management ‘personality’; responded, with the usual personal attack, never bothering to watch the video, from the Maharajah or read the Indian Newspaper articles in which I appeared. Oblivious of any reality.

As always, they fight reason, intelligence and facts by ‘sticking out their tongue’. The brains of an idiot, the face of a pig and a complete total disregard for human life. The morality of a cigarette company executive. They rely completely upon each other as ‘experts’, instead of experience, knowledge and facts.

“The trough will; always be busy, so long as, the trough is full.”

It is a wonderful thing that The Triangle of Life’ continues to spread, all over the world; in-spite of,  ‘the greedy little piggies’.

My name is Efrain Huaman Carrion and I am a volunteer firefighter in Peru. I’m part of the International American Rescue Team. Today’s date is September 26, 2002. Last year, I volunteered at the World Trade Center after the attacks on the Twin Towers.

My boss, Douglas Copp, called me on the telephone. I work in printing in Peru and am a volunteer firefighter but, in my country, you can’t live on this because we do it for free. My boss called me and I wanted to come the first day but there were no flights. I called various agencies and after 6 days, I was able to get a flight coming here from Peru. You had to come by helicopter or other ways because there were no commercial flights.

I’ve worked in different countries in the area of rescue. Under the direction of Douglas Copp, we’ve worked in places such as India, Turkey, El Salvador, Mexico, California and in El Salvador, Peru, and Colombia after earthquakes. My boss has experience with over 987 rescue actions. I haven’t participated in as many, but I have experience as a firefighter.

I volunteered for more than a month and the experience was unimaginable. More than a year later, I still feel so sad inside and often have nightmares. It’s so sad to think that human beings are capable of such destruction. In this world there are people who build and those who destroy but unfortunately this is how life is.

When the attacks happened, I didn’t think twice about coming to help but I couldn’t get a flight. I was finally able to buy a ticket to come help my brother firefighters and police.

In the work that I do, I don’t see religion, skin color or social status. I am moved by my Christian spirit to help those around me. Spiritually and in my heart, I like to help.

What happened to my brothers and sisters here in New York is so unfortunate and I wanted to do whatever I could to help with all my heart. I would compare what I saw and lived through last year to the Biblical Apocalypse. It’s too sad to describe in words. I can only compare it to the Apocalypse. I pray that something like this will never happen again here or in any other country.

One human being is worth more than all of the gold in the world, more than millions of worlds together. A human being is a marvelous thing, God’s creation and I hope nothing like this ever happens again. We have to respect, love and help others and come together.

We should try to spend time with our parents and brothers and sisters. Sometimes we spend time with our friends and neighbors but we forget to spend time with our families and we realize this too late. We take advantage of all the things in our lives. Those who are married and have children, who have brothers and sisters living close by, should give them their affection, time, and love.

And all I have to say to my brother firefighters, police, and civilians, including the President, Mr. Giuliani (the Mayor of NY), and the Governor is that I wish, with all my heart, that God blesses you and gives you the strength to move forward and that this pain is reparable. I know, in my heart, that behind all of this, God is demonstrating his love and strength and that you, our North American friends, sisters and brothers, most of all those in New York, will move forward and that this country will grow five times stronger than it is now.

My wish and my heartfelt thoughts are that God blesses you. I, Efrain Huaman Carrion, Peruvian firefighter, wish this for you.

(In English) I love you New York. I love you people of New York. Thank you very much.

CONOZCA AL BOMBERO PERUANO QUE PARTICIPÒ EN EL RESCATE DEL 11S EN EE.UU , FUENTE : WWW.TUTEVE.TV

Conozca al Bombero peruano que participò en el rescate  del 11S en EE.UU , con este  titular , publicado el 11 de setiembre del 2011 por  http://www.tuteve.tv  en memoria de los diez años de este tràgico suceso y  que a  continuaciòn transcribo .
  Directo entre escombros y deshechos, Efraín Huamán tomaba parte de una misión. Viajó desde Perú para buscar sobrevivientes tras el atentado del 11 de setiembre.
  Diez años después, Huamán señala que el 11 de setiembre fue el desastre más horrible y más catastrófico que sus ojos pudieron presenciar.
  Efraín Huamán trabajó como bombero en Perú muchos años y fue a mediados del año dos mil cuando viaja a estados unidos para unirse a un equipo de rescate.
  Es allí donde el 11 de setiembre del 2001, su compañía recibe una llamada de que las torres gemelas acababan de caer. 
  “Rescatando por semanas, los pedazos de cuerpos de las personas, seres humanos; entre ellos padres y madres de familia”, manifestó.
  Hoy se cumplen 10 años de aquel atentado terrorista que marcó no solo a los EE.UU. si no a el resto del mundo. las imágenes reavivan el dolor y terror que sintieron las personas tras ver como esas imperiosas torres gemelas se convertían en escombros.  
Este  martes  5 de junio  a horas  10 a.m  en el  auditorio “Francisco Aguinaga Castro” de nuestra Universidad  Nacional Pedro Ruiz Gallo , tendremos a este valeroso compatriota  nuestro quien por su vasta  experiencia en  rescate  de víctimas en desastres, ha participado en  Turquía, Italia, Francia, Afganistán , Irán, La India ,  Baja California,  Armenia – Colombia, Perú, Chile ,  entre otros países.

No tiene medios para transportar a Cuerpo de Bomberos más necesitados

PERUANO CONSIGUE EQUIPOS EN DONACION POR VALOR DE 300 MIL DOLARES
ROBERTO BUSTAMANTE Coord. Red Democratica NY
NUEVA YORK, Un valeroso bombero peruano que participó en las operaciones de rescate en la zona cero, en los escombros del World Trade Center, gestionó y consiguió equipos en donación por un valor aproximado de 300 mil dólares pero el problema que aún no ha resuelto es conseguir los medios para transportarlo y entregarlo a los cuerpos de bomberos voluntarios más necesitados dentro del territorio peruano.
“Son equipos costosos lo mismo que uniformes de rescate y el mayor problema es que no encuentro los medios económicos para transportarlo al Perú”, afirmó Efraín Huamán Carrión, de 36 años de edad, voluntario del Cuerpo de bomberos en el distrito de Pueblo Libre, quien logró viajar a Nueva York por sus propios recursos para unirse a las brigadas de rescate. Los equipos donados en perfectas condiciones, proceden de the American Rescue Team International (ARTI) en los Estados Unidos, con sede Sandia Park, en Nueva México.
Huamán Carrión, ayudó a sacar los cadáveres de los escombros en las Torres Gemelas y su labor le sirvió para ser felicitado por el alcalde de Nueva York Rudolph Giuliani y el jefe de bomberos Thomas Von Hesse. Aún dolido por la tragedia provocada por los ataques terroristas, el bombero Huamán, expresó su agradecimiento por el valioso donativo a The American Rescue Team en Estados Unidos, en la persona de Douglas F. Copp, Jefe de Rescates y Desastres, al mismo tiempo que solicitó a las Autoridades Peruanas que le faciliten el transporte de los equipos donados que redundará en beneficio de la seguridad de la población peruana.
“Queremos dar nuestra contribución a los hermanos peruanos y sus cuerpos de bomberos en los pueblos más alejados y me satisface el trabajo que hizo el bombero Efrain Huamán en Nueva York”, sostuvo Douglas Copp, quien trabajó arduamente en las operaciones de rescate y es uno de los artifices de la nueva técnica”Triángulo de la Vida” que puede salvar vidas en casos de desastres.
“El Bombero Huaman Carrión es un ejemplo para nuestra comunidad y estamos agradecidos a Douglas Copp,ejecutivo de ARTI por su desinteresada ayuda al pueblo peruano al donar un costoso equipo de rescate”, dijo David Camacho, experto en artes gráficas en Nueva Jersey, al reunirse y prestar ayuda a los rescatistas.
La Cancilleria Peruana, no respondió de inmediato al llamado del bombero Huamán Carrión, quien dirige las operaciones de rescate del equipo ARTI en el Perú. Parte del equipo donado se encuentra en Alburquerque y en Nuevo México, a donde viajó el bombero peruano posterior a su tarea de rescate en Nueva York.
Nacido en la ciudad de Chiclayo, el bombero Huaman Carrión, tiene experiencia en proveer ayuda humanitaria a la ciudadanía. Hace poco pudo repartir medicinas en Arequipa, donadas por instituciones filantrópicas. La Primera Dama de la Nación, Eliane Karp de Toledo, le pidió a Huamán Carrión adiestrar a jovencitos y miembros de la comunidad en labores de rescate. “Mi labor es del todo voluntaria y creo que todos tenemos que prepararnos ante cualquier desastre natural y es bueno que conozcan las técnicas del triángulo de la vida que ha salvado muchas vidas al desplomarse sus viviendas”, precisó el bombero.
Los  invitamos  este martes  5 de junio  a horas  10 a.m en el Auditorio “J. Francisco Aguinaga Castro” – UNPRG, el Conversatorio : “Experiencia de Bombero Peruano en el Rescate  de Vìctimas en Torres Gemelas” , testimonio  de Efraín Huamán . INGRESO  LIBRE.

“Everybody is the same, to me. When I was busy rescuing people, in Disasters; I never asked for a passport before saving their life. I saved everyone, the guerrillas and the government forces. I saved everyone, on all sides of the war, revolution or conflict.” doug copp

I believe as Sadi Ghaderi does, that ALL people should be saved by the’ triangle of life’. Just as we believe that no more people or children should die because of greedy insurance companies promoting ‘duck and cover’.

A quote from a previous Blog , The Triangle of Life Goes Viral, In Russia:”

The triumph of ‘common sense’, goodness and basic human values; that children’s lives are more important than USA Insurance Company profits…happens again, in another country.Good news for decent people.

The USA Insurance companies consider it to be cheaper, less trouble and more ‘actuarial’ profitable that children die from ‘duck and cover’; rather than, survive with the ‘triangle of life ‘. The VP of Underwriting, of one of the most profitable companies told us, several things: They are not in the business of saving lives. His job is NOT to save lives. His job is to maximize shareholder return. Dead children don’t seek compensation. It is better just to let them die ..in the rubble.”

Here is the same brochure given to 5 million people, in Turkey. Now, it has been translated into Russian and is going viral. All the pages have links to http://www.dougcopp.me and http://www.amerrescue.org, for more information.

Here is page 4, the section ‘triangle of life’:

ABSTRACT: Natural hazards have a devastating impact on the poorer section of society. The major factors influencing disaster risk are human and social vulnerability, combined with the overall capacity to respond or mitigate the impact of impending natural hazards. A challenge faced by developing and underdeveloped countries, while implementing disaster risk reduction (DRR) programmes is in establishing a linkage between poverty reduction programmes and provision for safe and secure living environment. The paper will try to review the relationship between poverty reduction programmes and DRR programmes in some of the developing and underdeveloped countries. The paper will also highlight the importance of the measures to bridge the gap between poverty reduction and DRR like rural development, infrastructure development, increasing awareness, training, cooperation between regional countries, funding organizations and international institutions as essential factors to reduce poverty and natural disasters risk. Data and information will be presented in form of photographs, carts, tables etc.

Keywords: social vulnerability, developing and underdeveloped countries, disaster risk reduction

1. INTRODUCTION

Natural disasters are a fact of life for every country, but they are especially dangerous for people in countries where people struggle to survive. It is in these poorer, third-world countries that a major natural disaster can kill thousands and threaten the livelihoods of those who survive the disaster. Natural catastrophes cause sharp increases in poverty; what is uncertain is the extent of their long-term impact on the economic viability of developing nations. People who live in poverty are very vulnerable to natural disasters and no safety bets. For example, their houses are not made of the best quality materials. Poor people in poor countries do not have insurance to rebuild their homes after disasters. Their governments do not have the resources for disaster relief. Also Poor countries have limited or no resources to deal with the post-traumatic stress those survivors may face for decades to come, especially for parents who feel guilty that their children perished.

About 95 percent of deaths caused by disasters occur in poor countries. A disaster of similar nature and size causes more deaths in poor countries than in rich ones[1]. The World Bank estimates that more than 90 percent of the populations of Bangladesh, Nepal, the Dominican Republic, Burundi, Haiti, Taiwan, Malawi, El Salvador, and Honduras live in areas at high relative risk of death from two or more hazards. Poor governance, external sanctions, poverty, and foreign debt force peasants to burn wood and charcoal for fuel and to engage in unsustainable farming techniques which drive deforestation, the consequences of which are discussed below[2].

This paper reviews and synthesizes the literature on poverty and natural disasters and discusses the role of poverty on impact of natural disasters. Therefore we studied the effects of natural disasters in poor developing countries in three decades latter. The main result of these researches shows that in each instance, the poor are the most deeply affected by the disaster and are more vulnerable to natural disasters, due to such factors as low national income, inadequate amount of education, skill, experience, health, work orientation, culture of poverty discrimination, place and type of residence, building construction, and social exclusion.

2. NATURAL DISASTER IN WORLD, LOSSES AN D DAMAGES

the International Emergency Disasters Database (EMDAT) distinguishes two different types of disasters (natural and technological) divided into 15 main categories, covering more than 50 sub-categories.

For the production of the tables and figures, the natural disasters were split into 3 specific groups:

·         Hydro-meteorological disasters: including floods and wave surges, storms, droughts and related disasters (extreme temperatures and forest/scrub fires), and landslides & avalanches;

·         Geophysical disasters: divided into earthquakes & tsunamis and volcanic eruptions;

·         Biological disasters: covering epidemics and insect infestations.

The economic cost of natural disasters has also skyrocketed, according to the International Red Cross. Direct economic losses from natural disasters multiplied five fold, to US$629 billion, from 1985-2005. And from 1999-2008, disaster estimated damage cost an average of $108 billion[3]. Other recent statistics:

·         3,852 disasters killed more than 780,000 people over the past 10 years, affected more than 2 billion others and cost a minimum of $960 billion. (Source: CRED)

The Red Cross warns that the frequency and cost of natural disasters will probably increase due to: Environmental, degradation, Climate change, Population growth, especially in cities and Globalization[3]. Between January 1975 and October 2008 and excluding epidemics, the International Emergency Disasters Database EMDAT recorded 8,866 events killing 2,283,767 people. Of these, 23 mega-disasters killed 1,786,084 people, mainly in developing countries[4]. During the decade of the 1990’s, the number of catastrophes has increased five-fold, and the damages have increased by a factor of nine, contrasted to the decade of the 1960’s (Munich Re, 1999). During the decade of 1987-1997, the total direct economic loss from natural catastrophes was 700 billion USD, for an average loss of 70 billion USD[5].

table 1: Natural disasters for the decade: 2000-2009[6].

The annual average death toll for the 2000 decade was 78,000, which is considerably higher than the 43,000 of the previous decade (1990s). But in the 1980s, the annual average of persons killed was almost as high with 75,000 owing to two major droughts and famines in Ethiopia and Sudan. The average number of natural hazard events per annum in 2000-2009 was 385 compared to the annual average of 258 for the decade 1990-1999 and 165 for the decade 1980-1989[7]. Earthquakes are the deadliest natural hazard of the past ten years and remain a serious threat for millions of people worldwide as eight out of the ten most populous cities in the world are on earthquake fault-lines. In the past decade, nearly 60 percent of the people killed by disasters died because of Earthquakes. After earthquakes, storms (22%) and extreme temperatures (11%) were the most deadly disasters between 2000 and 2009[7].

3. Natural Disasters, Developing and Poor Countries

Many poor people, especially in developing countries, depend on natural resources for their social and economic wellbeing. These are commonly the rural population, and their poverty may be defined from different aspects. Resources such as agriculture, water, fisheries, or forestry generate income or secure livelihoods to the poor. If these resources deteriorate through pollution or overuse, the benefits for the poor decrease[8]. Droughts and other climatic hazards have the potential to disrupt people’s lives, leading to losses of income, assets and opportunities[9]. In 1998, 90% of the victims of natural disasters lived in LDCs; over half of Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) borrowers are exposed to natural disasters on a recurring basis, and there is a high statistical correlation between Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth and the annual number of so-called “natural” disasters[10].

Disaster risk is also concentrated in Asia where the poor are concentrated on the most marginal lands vulnerable to drought, flood, and other natural hazards. And the poor, through ignorance and desperation, can contribute to their own downfall by deforesting hillsides or over –cultivating farmland. This leads to new cycles of flood, drought or landslides[11].

At least 900 million people now live in informal settlements in developing country cities. Many of these are in hazard prone areas. Urban hazards, such as flooding, are exacerbated by lack of investment in infrastructure[4]. Poor people suffer worst from natural disasters. In rich countries, the average number of deaths per disaster is 23, while in the poorest the average is 1,052. When the Hanshin earthquake struck Japan in 1995, it claimed the lives of some 6,000 people. But in 2005, the Kashmir earthquake in Pakistan, measuring about the same on the Richter scale, claimed 75,000 lives – 12 times as many – despite the fact that the earthquake affected areas with much lower levels of population density[11].

Compare the Impacts of Natural Disasters shows that in poor and developing countriesand due to setbackes to economic and social development and lacke resources for early warning systems, are more vulnerable to impact of natural disasters(Table 1)[12]. Foreign debt also limits the amount of revenue available for public services such as disaster warning systems or response plans[2].

Table 2: compare the impact of natural disasters in developing  and Industrialized Countries[12].

Industrialized Countries

Developing Countries

Tend to suffer higher economic losses in strict dollars terms

Cause setbacks to economic and social development

Have mechanisms in place to avoid loss of life, such as early warning systems

Lack resources for early warning systems

Have immediate emergency and medical care

Inflict massive casualties

Insure against property losses

Divert funds from development programs to emergency relief and recovery

To reduce the impact from natural disasters in developing countries, these countries will need economic resources and organizational support to implement any plans or projects that they undertake, knowledge of how to make their populace safer, and early warning of any natural disasters or potential hazards that may result from those natural disasters[12].

Risk transfer provides a safety net for economic loss to property and provides resources to rebuild. Generally, rebuilding means restoring the damaged property. Risk transfer for natural disasters in the developed world is primarily directed at transferring the risk of damage to private real property to the insurance industry.. In the developing world, with its high concentration of publicly owned infrastructure, an equivalent problem is the vulnerability of infrastructure to the sudden impact of major natural catastrophes[5].

Knowing these risk factors means governments can better plan how to protect people and develop their economies more safely. “Development needs to be regulated in terms of its impact on disaster risk[13]. Due to armed conflict and weak food distribution networks, The other challenges in poor  developing and countries

It wasn’t the weather that turned drought into famine in the Congo, Kenya and Sudan. It was armed conflict and weak food distribution networks. And in China, the government faces accusations that the Sichuan earthquake could only collapse many schools because of corrupt builders and officials[13].

In stark contrast, no child has died in a Californian school during an earthquake since 1933. Similarly, earthquakes in Japan kill fewer people than in developing countries thanks to “better enforcement of building codes, better emergency response, and the generally high level of preparedness,” says the Disaster Risks Hotspots report[13].

4. COUNCLUTION

Although major natural disasters like earthquake, flood and storm occur in everywhere of the world, but mainly occurred in communities where high levels of poverty, and these events conversion into human and environment catastrophe. Human casualties resulting from crises within countries and internationally show that in crisis, mainly the poorest members of society are suffering the most casualties. According to UN statistics, the chance of killing people in developing and poor countries than rich countries against crisis is 4. Earthquake Haiti another example of such a relationship is confirmed. In Haiti, in fact, more than 200 thousand killed and two million homeless  not victims of the earthquake but victims the poverty. although, most people know the apparent reason of killing people is lack of unsafe buildings, but the main reason of that is  poverty. While each region in the Periphery or Semi-Periphery-from Sri Lanka to India to Bolivia-may experience unique environmental problems, poverty caused by an unjust international politico-economic regime is a persistent factor that aggravates prevention and recovery efforts. It also ensures that, in each instance, the poor are the most deeply affected by the disaster. To reduce the impact from natural disasters in developing countries, these countries will need economic resources and organizational support to implement any plans or projects that they undertake, knowledge of how to make their populace safer, and early warning of any natural disasters or potential hazards that may result from those natural disasters. Developing country governments including Iran and India should further develop and implement a national adaptation strategy, which is properly mainstreamed across the government’s programmes for eradicating poverty, and adopted by and co-ordinated across all the key ministries. Disaster Risk Reduction needs to be part of long term planning at all levels of government, across all ministries, and particularly at the departmental and municipal level. Disaster preparedness has to be stepped up. Infrastructure development, increasing awareness, training, cooperation between regional countries, funding organizations and international institutions as essential factors to reduce poverty and natural disasters risk. Also Scientific research programs on climate change, its impacts on natural resources, Improvement of the data collection system and analysis, Enhancing of the system of forecasting, modeling and early warning on natural disasters, Building institutional and technical capacity on adaptation issues is recommended.

مثلث حیات در زلزله(Triangle of Life)

3-5- مثلث حيات (Triangle of Life)

3-5-1- مقدمه

آنچه تا کنون ما از پناه گیری به هنگام وقوع زلزله آموخته ایم در زیر میز و چهار چوب درب بوده است. فکر کنم کمتر کسی از ما با روش “مثلث حیات” آشنایی دارد و نحوه پناه گیری به این روش را می  داند. همه ما در مدرسه روش  زیر میز و چهار چوب در را یاد گرفته ایم که مساوی با مرگ است!

متاسفانه در حال حاضر روش “خميده و پنهان” (Duck And Cover) تنها روش اجرايي پناه گيري به هنگام وقوع زلزله در ايران است. اين روش در مدارس، ادرات و تمامي مانورهاي زلزله آموزش،اجرا و توصيه مي شود؛ و اين درحالي است که در این روش احتمال زنده ماندن بسیار پایین است. در اين بخش به توصيف و تشريح روش “مثلث حيات” پرداخته و نحوه پناه گيري با این روش و با ارائه شکل ها و تصاویر  آموزش داده می شود.

آقاي داگ کوپ (Doug Copp) رئيس گروه بین المللی تیم نجات آمریکاست (ARTI) American Rescue Team International که مبتکر روش “مثلث حيات” است. اين تيم از مجربترين گروه‌هاي نجات در جهان مي‌باشد. ‌ايشان به درون 895 ساختمان فرو ريخته ناشي از زلزله خزيده است و با گروه‌هاي نجات 60 كشور كار كرده است. همچنين آقاي داگ کوپ به مدت دو سال كارشناس سازمان ملل در زمينه کاهش بلایا (UNX051-UNIENET) بوده است و از سال 1985 به بعد در صحنه بلاياي طبيعي عمده جهان بجز مواردي كه فاجعه آني بوده، شركت داشته است.

آقای داگ کوپ در زمینه ایمنی و مقابله با بلایی چون زلزله، سونامی، سیل، آتش سوزی، طوفان، گردباد تخصص دارد و در تعداد زيادي از كشورهاي جهان مانند ترکیه، آرژانتین، مکزیک، روسیه، تایوان، فرانسه و ایتالیا گروه‌هاي نجات را سازماندهي نموده است و عضو گروه نجات بسیاری از اين كشورهاي می باشد.

در سال 1996 گروه آنها يك فيلم مستند ساخت كه صحت متدولوژي ارائه شده ايشان يعني “مثلث حيات” را تاييد مي‌كرد. دولت مركزي تركيه و مقامات محلي و دانشگاه شهر استانبول در تهيه و فيلم‌برداري از اين آزمايش علمي و عملي با تيم ARTI همكاري داشتند. آنها در یک کلاس مدرسه (طراحی و ساخته شده برای این آزمایش) 20 مانكن قرار دادند. 10 مانكن را بصورت “خميده و پنهان” (Duck And Cover) و 10 مانكن ديگر را به روش ابداعي آقاي داگ کوپ  تحت نام “مثلث حيات” (Triangle Of Life) جاسازی نمودند.

پس از فرو ريختن کلاس در اثر زلزله مصنوعي، آنها به درون آوارها خزيدند و وارد ساختمان‌ها شدند تا نتايج آزمايش را فيلم‌برداري و مستند كنند. در اين فيلم كه فنون زنده ماندن افراد را تحت نظارت مستقيم و شرايط علمي مرتبط با ريزش آوار به صورت يک تمرين نشان مي داد، به روشني نشان داد مانکن هایی که از روش “خميده و پنهان” استفاده كردند، شانس زنده ماندن صفر درصد و آنهائي كه از روش “مثلث حيات” استفاده كردند، 100 درصد بود. اين فيلم در تركيه و كشورهاي اروپائي توسط ميليون‌ها بیننده ديده شد و در ايالات متحده و كانادا و آمريكاي لاتين هم از طريق تلويزيون به نمايش گذاشته شد.

آقاي داگ کوپ مي گويد: “اولين ساختماني كه بداخل آن خزيدم، مدرسه‌اي در شهر مكزيكوسيتي و در جريان زلزله سال 1985 بود. همه بچه‌ها در زير ميزهايشان بودند و همگي تا ضخامت استخوان‌هايشان در هم كوبيده شده بودند. آنها مي‌توانستند زنده بمانند اگر در كنار ميزهايشان و در راهروي بين ميزها دراز مي‌كشيدند. كاري كه انجام داده بودند غيرمعقول و غيرضروري بود و در تعجب بودم كه چرا آنها در راهروها (راه روهای بین میزها) نبودند. من آن موقع نمي‌دانستم كه به آنها گفته شده‌بود كه خود را زير چيزي پنهان سازند.”

به ‌سادگي مي‌توان دريافت، هنگامي‌كه ساختمان‌ها تخريب مي‌شوند وزن سقف كه بر روي اشياء و مبلمان فرود مي ریزد، آنها را درهم مي‌كوبد و فضاي خالي‌اي را در كنار آنها ايجاد مي‌نمايد اين فضا همان چيزي است كه من به آن “مثلث حيات” مي‌گويم. هر اندازه اشياء بزرگتر و محكم‌تر باشند كمتر فشرده مي‌شوند و هر اندازه كمتر فشرده شوند، فضاي خالي كه احتمال زنده ماندن افرادي را كه به آن پناه مي‌برند بيشتر مي‌شود.

3-5-2- روش “مثلث حيات”

در اين روش فرد در کنار يکي از وسايل و اشيايي که در کنار اوست پناه مي گيرد. در اين روش هر گونه پنهان شدن در زير ميز، صندلي، تخت و نيز چارچوب در کاملا رد مي شود و منسوخ است و آنرا عامل مرگ حتمي افراد به هنگام بروز زلزله مي داند.

هر اندازه وسايل و اشياء محکم و داراي استحکام کافي باشند و اندازه انها بزرگ باشد، مثلث ايجاد شده در کنار آنها بزرگتر و محکم تر است و باعث افزايش ايمني و شانس بیشتر سالم ماندن افراد به هنگام وقوع زلزله و ريزش آوار می باشد.

شکل 3-4 نحوه پناه گیری صحیح به روش “مثلث حيات” و روش نادرست “خميده و پنهان” را نشان می دهد.

شکل 3-4: راست: پناه گيري در زير ميز به روش “خميده و پنهان شده” (نادرست)، چپ: پناه گيري در کنار يک کمد به روش “مثلث حیات” (صحيح([74]

 3-5-3- نكات و توصيههاي مهم آقاي Doug Copp

1-     در هنگام بروز زلزله و فرو ريختن ساختمان هر كسي كه از روش “خميده و پنهان” استفاده كند، بدون استثناء و همواره محكوم به مرگ است. افرادي كه زير اشيائي نظير ميزها و اتومبيل‌ها مي‌روند در همانجا له مي‌شوند. شکل 3-5 “مثلث حیات” تشکیل شده در کنار یک اتومبیل را نشان می  دهد. داخل اتومبیل  ماندن مساوی با مرگ است.

شکل 3-5: مثلث حیات ايجاد شده در کنار يک اتومبیل [74]

2-     سگ‌ها و گربه‌ها و بچه‌ها همگي آنها اغلب بصورت طبيعي در وضعيت جنيني كه در رحم قرار دارند، خم مي‌شوند و شما هم بايد همين طور عمل كنيد. اين غريزه طبيعي ايمني و اصل بقاء است.

شما مي‌توانيد با همين شيوه در فضاي خالي كوچكتري زنده بمانيد. پس در زمان بروز زلزله سريع خود را كنار اشياء بزرگ، مانند كاناپه بزرگ و يا اجسام محكمي كه در مقابل ضربه كمتر فشرده مي‌شوند و فضاي خالي در مجاور خود باقي مي‌گذارند، قرار دهيد (شکل 3-6).

شکل 3-6: نحوه صحیح پناه گیری در کنار یک میز و یا مبل به روش “مثلث حیات” [74]

3-     ساختمان‌هاي چوبي از ايمن‌ترين نوع ساختمان‌ها محسوب مي‌شوند كه مي‌توانيد در هنگام وقوع زلزله در داخل آنها باشيد، دليل آن ساده است زيرا چوب انعطاف پذیر می باشد و با نيروي زلزله به راحتي حركت مي‌كند. اگر ساختمان چوبي فرو ريزد فضاهاي خالي بزرگي ايجاد مي‌شود. همچنين ساختمان‌هاي چوبي داراي وزن متمركز شده و خرد كنندگي كمتري هستند. ساختمان‌هاي آجري مي‌توانند در حد قطعات آجر متلاشي شوند و آجرها منجر به بروز صدمات زيادي مي‌شوند، البته اجساد له شده ناشي از فرو ريختن آنها از صدمات حاصل از فرو ريختن قطعات بتني بزرگ، كمتر مي‌باشد.

در شکل 3-7 راست، خرابی یک خانه چوبی باحفظ اسکلت آن را می توان مشاهده کرد ولی در شکل چپ تخریب کامل ساختمان های بتنی به وضوح دیده می شود. خانه های چوبی به دلیل سبکی مصالح و انعطاف پذیری مصالح، خرابی کمتر  و در نتیجه آسیب کمتری نسبت به ساختمان های بتنی و سنگی دارند که سنگین تر و غیر قابل انعطاف می باشند.

شکل 3-7: راست: خرابی اندک یک خانه با مصالح چوبی [75]، چپ: تخریب کامل ساختمان های بتنی در زلزله سیچوان چین، 2008 [76]

4-     اگر زلزله در شب و زماني كه شما در رختخواب خود هستيد اتفاق بيفتد، كافي است از روي تخت به پايين بغلتيد، يك فضاي ايمن و مناسب در اطراف تخت وجود دارد. هتل‌ها مي‌توانند نرخ زنده‌ماندن ساكنان خود را در هنگام وقوع زلزله، با نصب تابلوي راهنما در پشت درب اتاق‌ها و اطلاع‌رساني به ساكنان مبني بر اينكه “در هنگام وقوع زلزله روي زمين كنار تختخواب دراز بكشيد” افزايش دهند (شکل 3-8).

شکل 3-8: ريزش آوار بر روي تختخواب و مثلث ايجاد شده در کنار آن [74]

5-     اگر شما هنگام وقوع زلزله در حال تماشاي تلويزيون هستيد و فرار از در يا پنجره برايتان بسادگي امكان‌پذير نيست، در وضعيت جنيني در كنار كاناپه يا صندلي بزرگ خم شويد (شکل 3).

6-     هر كسي كه در زمان وقوع زلزله در زير درب قرار گيرد، محكوم به مرگ است. زيرا هنگامي كه زير درب قرار دارد، چهارچوب اطراف درب به سمت جلو و عقب مي افتد، و زیر مصالح ساختماني بالاي چهار چوب درب له خواهد شد و اگر ستون‌ها به طرفين بيفتند(چپ و راست) در اين حالت توسط آنها به دو نيم خواهد شد لذا در هر دو صورت جان خود را از دست خواهد داد (شکل 3-9).

شکل 3-9: روش هاي نادرست پناه گيري به هنگام وقوع زلزله در زیر چهارچوب در و  زیر میز [74]

7-     هرگز در هنگام وقوع زلزله بر روي پله ها نرويد، زيرا پله‌ها داراي گشتاور فركانسي متفاوتي هستند و لذا مجزا از تنه اصلي ساختمان نوسان مي‌كنند. به عبارتي پله‌ها و بقيه ساختمان با همديگر برخورد مي‌كنند تا اينكه شكست سازه‌اي در پله رخ دهد و كساني كه روي پله هستند قبل از اينكه پله خراب شود توسط گام‌هاي پله گرفتار شده و بصورت وحشتناكي قطع عضو خواهند شد. در هنگام زلزله حتي اگر ساختمان فرو نريزد باز هم از پله‌ها دور بمانيد، زيرا پله‌ها از مناطقي هستند كه احتمال تخريب بيشتري دارند. حتي اگر پله‌ها توسط زلزله فرو نريزد، ممكن است در اثر وزن ازدحام زياد افرادي كه فريادكشان از روي آن در حال فرار هستند فرو بريزد. پله‌ها بايد پس از وقوع زلزله هر چند كه ساختمان آسيب نديده باشد از نظر ايمني مورد آزمايش قرار گيرند. شکل های (3-10).

8- به ديوارهاي محيطي ساختمان نزديك شويد و يا در صورت امكان به بيرون از آنها برويد. هرچه داخل‌تر و دور‌تر از ديوارهاي محيطي ساختمان باشيد احتمال اينكه راه گريز شما مسدود شود بيشتر خواهد بود.

9- كساني كه در هنگام وقوع زلزله در خيابان‌ها داخل خودروي خويش مي‌مانند وقتي كه خيابان طبقه فوقاني روي آنها خراب مي‌شود (در اتوبان‌هاي دو طبقه)، جان خود را از دست مي‌دهند. اين دقيقآ همان چيزي است كه در آزادراه نيميتز (Nimitz Freeway) رخ داد و قربانيان زلزله سانفرانسيسكو همگي در داخل خودروي خود به هنگام زلزله باقي ماندند و همگي كشته شدند. آنها مي توانستند زنده بمانند اگر از خودرو خارج شده و در كنار آن نشسته و يا دراز كشيده بودند.كليه خودروهاي له شده بجز خودروهائي كه ستون‌هاي پل مستقيمآ روي آنها سقوط كرده بود، داراي فضاي خالي‌اي به ارتفاع 90 سانتي متر در اطراف خود بودند (شکل های 3-11 و 3-12).

10 – از خزيدن در داخل خرابه‌هاي دفاتر روزنامه‌ها و يا اداراتي كه كاغذهاي انباشته زيادي در آنها وجود داشته است، دريافتم كه كاغذ داراي خاصيت ارتجاعي بوده و چندان فشرده نمي‌شوند، لذا فضاهاي خالي زيادي در اطراف بسته‌هاي كاغذ بوجود مي‌آيد كه مي‌تواند در زمان زلزله مورد استفاده قرار گيرد (شکل 3-13).

The Triangle of Life Going Viral – Kazakhstan

cdewlogos

Years ago, I had a training sub-contract with the European Union, to train Rescue Teams in Tajikistan. I taught the triangle of life in Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and Tajikistan. I am pleased that  The Triangle of Life is now spreading even faster, all over the world.

The triumph of ‘common sense’, goodness and basic human values; that children’s lives are more important than USA Insurance Company profits…happens again, in another country.Good news for decent people.

The USA Insurance companies consider it to be cheaper, less trouble and more ‘actuarial’ profitable that children die from ‘duck and cover’; rather than, survive with the ‘triangle of life ‘. The VP of Underwriting, of one of the most profitable companies told us, several things: They are not in the business of saving lives. His job is NOT to save lives. His job is to maximize shareholder return. Dead children don’t seek compensation. It is better just to let them die ..in the rubble.

Here is the same brochure given to 5 million people, in Turkey. Now, it has been translated into Russian, Kazakh and is going viral. All the pages have links to http://www.dougcopp.me and http://www.amerrescue.org, for more information.

Here is page 4, the section ‘triangle of life’; which is followed by the entire brochure, covering all the basic safety issues.

Triangle Of Life Goes Viral, in Russia

The triumph of ‘common sense’, goodness and basic human values; that children’s lives are more important than USA Insurance Company profits…happens again, in another country.Good news for decent people.

The USA Insurance companies consider it to be cheaper, less trouble and more ‘actuarial’ profitable that children die from ‘duck and cover’; rather than, survive with the ‘triangle of life ‘. The VP of Underwriting, of one of the most profitable companies told us, several things: They are not in the business of saving lives. His job is NOT to save lives. His job is to maximize shareholder return. Dead children don’t seek compensation. It is better just to let them die ..in the rubble.

Here is the same brochure given to 5 million people, in Turkey. Now, it has been translated into Russian and is going viral. All the pages have links to http://www.dougcopp.me and http://www.amerrescue.org, for more information.

Here is page 4, the section ‘triangle of life’:

War with North Korea? More $ for the rich? Who is Responsible?

War with North Korea? More $ for the rich? Who is Responsible?

Another North Korean War Outbreak?

History Teaches us:

1) If there is a choice between war and peace then war will be chosen.
2) A war with North Korea will last for years. Quick wars are less profitable. ..and profit is the whole purpose of war.
3) The USA ‘elite’ always need a BIG war for MORE profiteering..
4) There is No shortage of idiots who want to kill and destroy.
5) There is No shortage of idiots who want to ‘wipe out’ another race because they are racist.
6) If there is a choice between ‘intelligent, peaceful and civilized’ behavior and ‘stupid, arrogant, greed’ then stupidity trumps.

Will humanity ever survive long enough NOT to crucify Christ? It is ‘No joy ride’ being a Practicing Christian, in this world.

Nevertheless, We are responsible for what we do and what we don’t do. We are responsible for our choices and our actions.

We are NOT responsible for what other people do. Just like Christ had a choice. We have a choice. Every individual has choices.

I learned when I was 17 that you never regret ‘doing the right thing’. You only regret ‘doing the wrong thing’.

FYI: I consider the Leader of North Korea to be a ‘pimple on the ass of humanity’; however, I would prefer ‘squeezing him’, in a way that doesn’t involve the death of hundreds of thousands of people and the suffering of millions more.
