"P-Man", I know what you mean about New York City being a BETTER place to "Ride Out" an earthquake than Santo Domingo!!!
I mean here in Santo Domingo, the fire department will send highly trained first responders, with all their "State-Of-The-Art" equipment to resque everyone!
They will then all be transported by hundreds of ambulances to any of the numerous well equipped, and supplied, hospitals where trained doctors, nurses, & technicians,will provide them with expert medical treatment.
The government will immediately spring into action to get the infrastructure up and running within days of the event, providing the people with food, water, electricity, sanitation, and immunizations against Cholera and other diseases.
This will be fairly easy as all the necessary equipment,food, and medicine has been pre-positioned for just such an event!
The same also applies to hurricanes, as I personally saw in 1998 after Hurricane George"!
Those fools in NYC haven't even thought about preparing for ANY emergencies!
