I'm interested in better understanding the ongoing geological processes that shape St. Louis and the Mississippi Valley region. So far, I've been looking into the history of seismicity in the region, focusing on the fascinating but little known history of the New Madrid earthquakes of 1811 and 1812 -- the most devastating earthquakes to have hit the US east of the Rockies. I've also been exploring how St. Louis and surrounding areas are dealing with the possibility of another earthquake occurring in the future. According to one article I read, one of the biggest uncertainties is what would happen to the heavily engineered Mississippi River in the case of another major tremblor. The shaking could break the levees, flooding wide areas along the river and creating cascading effects. The flow of the river might also reverse completely, as occurred during the New Madrid earthquakes.

On these possibilities and the lack of scientific consensus surrounding intraplate seismicity in this zone, see this article in The Atlantic.

On current efforts to create earthquake hazard maps in St. Louis, see this overview on the US Geological Survey site.

For a deeper dive into the history of the New Madrid earthquakes, see this book by historian of science Conevery Bolton Valencius. 

The most complelling parts were the ones which contained the blacked out interviews. To me this shows the most likelyhood of providing an honest/least biased version of the story. There is a higher likelihood of censorship of a telling of the story by the prime minister and especially TEPCO.

Although nothing is specifically mentioned the author has an affiliation with New York Medical school. American Medical Association.

The article is supported by data analysis of accepted individuals in order to show the change in policy's effect on the contrbution to population increase of immigrants for medical resaons. This also includes a description and examples of the different parts of the law.

The articles arguments are supported with a look into the past, present, and future. They reference research done during the Vietnam War, people whom expierence PTSD, and the plans to come that will help provide pyschological help. 

IPPNW is funded by donations and are a non-profit organization. They also recieved money upon recieving the nobel peace prize.

I think the one i can think of is EMS providers. 

ISCE, says that it has offline servers that it stores information on. The app can be found on the Apple Store. These offline servers are supposedly unable to be accessed.
