Earthquake hits China Strong earthquake hits China A powerful earthquake measuring 7.8 has hit Chinas southern province of Sichuan, shaking buildings as far away as Beijing, Shanghai and Bangkok. It was not immediately clear if there were any casualties or damage from the tremor which the the US Geological Survey (UGS) earlier put at 7.8. The epicentre of the quake was 93 kilometres north of Chengdu. Wenchuan, which took full force of the quake, has a population of 111,000 people. It is in an ethnic Tibetan area in Aba county which recently saw violent clashes between Tibetans and Chinese authorities. According to some reports there was a second earthquake measuring 3.9 which hit the Beijing district of Tongzhou at roughly the same time. Telephone lines in the affected area are jammed and there are still no reports of casualties. Reports from Thailand say high buildings in Bangkok continued to shake several minutes after the tremors began. We felt continuous shaking for about two or three minutes. All the people in our office are rushing downstairs. Were still feeling slight tremblings, said an office worker in Chengdu. Chinas tallest building, the Jinmao Tower, and other highrise buildings in Shanghais financial district were evacuated after tremors were first felt. People were shouting get out, get out, so we all ran out of our dorm, said a student surnamed Zhang at a university in nearby Chongqing. A spokesman for the China Earthquake Administration said it was still checking the epicentre and scale of the tremor.A natural disaster is the consequence of a natural hazard (e.g. volcanic eruption, earthquake, or landslide) which affects human activities. Human vulnerability, exacerbated by the lack of planning or appropriate emergency management, leads to financial, environmental or human losses. The resulting loss depends on the capacity of the population to support or resist the disaster, their resilience. This understanding is concentrated in the formulation: disasters occur when hazards meet vulnerability. A natural hazard will hence never result in a natural disaster in areas without vulnerability, e.g. strong earthquakes in uninhabited areas. The term natural has consequently been disputed because the events simply are not hazards or disasters without human involvement.On December the 26th, 2004, when the people were still addicted to happiness on Christmas, the strong earthquake, which took place in Indonesia, caused heavy tsunami. In the turn of a hand, the famous Phuket Island of tourist attraction of Thailand that has enjoyed the reputation of “Heaven in human world” was turned into “the hell on earth”. For the people who were rescued from this calamity, this essentially peaceful Christmas vacation has been the inly-indelible drop shadows. When some visitors who had just brushed past the death talked about the experience at the time, they have not yet recovered from a fright. Here is a grisly experience of a newspaperwoman: The ocean suddenly disappearedDecember the 26th, the newspaperwoman Yi Linyang of “Strait Times” was taking a holiday in Phuket Island with her husband.

The boat took the ground by the reeves, there were jumping fish here and there.Nobody had seen that before, everyone was frightened out of his wits for the moment. When all the people didnt wake up to what had happened, the seawater surged ahead and washed back, and the huge billow went straight from the distant place. Yi Linyangs heart still fluttering with fear, she said: “We ran desperately, no one would know how far would the seawater chase us”Can you see?
