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. 

WTC is World Trade Centre Health Program by the Department of Health and Human Services, which is provide beginning on July 1, 2011. This policy was created and influenced by 9/11 Terrorist attack. To amend the Public Health Service Act to extend and improve protections and services to individuals who impacted by the attack, and for other purposes.

• The author describes inhumane conditions requiring medical treatment enhance the poor situations for immigrants.
• The analyses of the shifts in political discourse and practice shows the complexities of immigrant, disaster and poverty.
• There are stories shows the humanitarianism is faced to inequality and violence. As well as how the conditions and situations are changed by the time.

FEMA seem to concerning help the state to prepare to the disaster and lessen the hazard and loss.  The challenging for FEMA is how to manage effectively, and response in quickly.

The Isobar is long-term controlled cooling that is rechargeable anywhere in the world. It is using an automated valve which can detect the internal temperature and recharged using either  and internal electric heating element or propane burner. This design is also applied 2-phase ammonia-water absorption refrigeration which is invented by Einstein, and it is an simplest and powerful cooling technology for its size.

There is a long list of consultants such as universities, physics safety and so on. There are also a editing and technology team for build the website.  REMM also employ software programs to monitor traffic to identify unauthorized attempts to upload or change information or damage the system. The system is maintained by the US government.   

This app is bad to use. There is a people write on the app customer review shows there is also an age limit saying 17+. This customer is a rape survivor and she/he think this app is awful and the app should be removed.

The government should organise all the source and fund for the disaster. Using good political to communicate with other nations and organisation who offer the supporting. Make sure the people get help such as money, food and water. As well as help people get back confident to government, therefore the government need to manage the sources in suitable areas. Medical supporting and equipment are offered for more saving and treatment. To provide the epidemic comes up post disaster, the government and organisations should be care about the weather, environment and other circumstances. If Haiti's government can help people get the supporting on fundings and others, it can really make the Haiti's restore and control the cholera epidemic. In addtion, it might can bring the confident from U.N. and other organisations.
