When the Big One Hits, South Carolina Will Be Ready!

摘要

The goal of the project is to pre-position emergency medical equipment in 18 operational areas that were defined in a 2005 earthquake study conducted by the South Carolina Emergency Management Division (see photo). Because Charleston is located in the coastal area, many roadways are elevated by bridges that might collapse or be closed during a magnitude 7.4 earthquake similar to that of 1886.
