An Indian researcher, who felt the 7.4 magnitude earthquake that hit Taiwan on Wednesday, shared his experience on Thursday. He said India and other countries can learn from Taiwan on having and enforcing strict building codes for earthquake-resistant buildings. It is worth noting that at least 10 people died and more than a thousand people were injured in this devastating earthquake on Wednesday. It was the strongest earthquake in Taiwan in 25 years.
Organized system in Taiwan to prevent earthquake – Hashemi
Media reports said rescue workers were searching Thursday for missing people and working to reach hundreds of people trapped in the earthquake in Hualien, about 200 kilometers south of the Taiwanese capital. The think tank’s research researcher, Sana Hashmi, said that systems are being developed there. You just need to turn it on. It helps in saving time. There are protocols, in which there is no confusion.
Human life is more important in Taiwan – Hashemi
Hashemi, who works for the Taiwan Asia Exchange Foundation, said that human life is more important in Taiwan, everything else is secondary. You have to save people. He said that although there was a strong earthquake, a large number of people did not die. Hashemi said that despite a devastating earthquake in Taiwan, transport was back on track after a few hours. Buses and metro began to operate regularly. Everyone should go to their offices. Soon everything became normal. as if nothing had happened.
India should learn something from Hashemite Taiwan
Compared to Delhi, Hashmi said, he can’t even think about it. I don’t think many buildings in India follow the code. Not only in India but there are many countries where this system does not exist. Maybe we should learn a lot from Taiwan too. Hashmi, who came to Taipei City from Delhi four years ago, said that at first whenever there was an earthquake, she used to be a little scared, and let me tell you, small earthquakes keep happening here.
