Over 20,000 dead in Turkey and Syria. Many parts of India are quake prone. Any lesson to learn?
Accredited hospitals in India have good fire drills but not for natural calamities like earth quake. Disaster management has 4 phases. All should be practiced.

[RNB @rnBasu]

Enormous misery has befallen Turkey and Syria. Heart breaking pictures shows people digging with their bare hands to rescue their near and dear ones. Many health problems may surface now. Even disposal of dead bodies may be challenging.

Active and latent human error. Latent error at the system level leads to occurrence of active error. Actors in active error are those who finally deliver the product or services and are blamed for the error. Those who design the system gets scot free.
