In response to the devastating earthquakes that struck Venezuela, AWMH is granting $100,000 in support through longtime partner @directrelief.
While the full scale of the damage is yet to be determined, the United Nations is reporting that up to 6.8 million Venezuelans may be affected, including those displaced or losing access to electricity and water. More than 68,000 people were reported missing within three days of the disaster, and the official death toll is approaching 2,000.
Direct Relief is preparing medical aid commonly needed after earthquakes, including first-aid supplies, hygiene items for displaced families, medicines used to treat acute injuries, and chronic disease medications for people whose access to routine care may be interrupted.
AWMH’s $100,000 grant will support Direct Relief as the organization continues to respond to requests in the region as they become known.

No predice terremotos con anticipación, sino que los detecta en tiempo real y avisa rápidamente.
Durante los recientes terremotos en Venezuela (magnitudes de 7.2 y 7.5), el sistema activó alertas en muchos dispositivos Android, dando tiempo a la gente para evacuar 🇻🇪🙏
Gracias a @marcsto Marc Stogaitis ingeniero principal en Google y líder del equipo de Alerta Temprana de Terremotos (Earthquake Early Warning Team) de Android, junto con un equipo de ingenieros y científicos, desarrolló el sistema Android Earthquake Alerts.
Este sistema usa los sensores de movimiento (acelerómetros) de millones de teléfonos Android para detectar ondas sísmicas iniciales y enviar alertas a usuarios cercanos segundos o decenas de segundos antes de que llegue el fuerte sacudón.

Do you think aliens are real and being hidden by the Government of the world 👀
Venezuela: With immediate effect, Switzerland is freezing any Swiss-based assets linked to Nicolás Maduro. If any assets turn out to be of illicit origin, Switzerland will do its best to ensure that these benefit the Venezuelan population. https://t.co/VdnJczonua
