In April 17th of 2016 a really big earthquake happened in Ecuador .The official figure of the number killed was 233.I think there were two main problems in this case.
First,the government of Ecuador didn’t issue a tsunami alarm even though the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said tsunami was able to happen.If the government had spread the alarm the number killed could have decreased.But it’s problem related with political system so it’s not easy to change.
Second,in Ecuador many houses are not earthquake-proof.Though more and more houses have become earthquake-proof residence,mast of them are still not.
But the government of Ecuador has made effort to solve this problem.For example,the president of Ecuador already promised to adopt a policy.In that policy the president promised millionaire tax to raise the billions of dollars needed to rebuild a country which didn’t recover from disaster yet.And the president,Rafael Correa visited Disaster area and hugged children.
On the other hand,Japanese prime minister,Shinzo Abe canceled the visit to Disaster area,did’t recognize the earthquake in Kumamoto as major disaster and even misled earthquake victims to stay at home.Because of that misleading many people were crushed to death.
Of cause the government has many tasks but now Japanese government deprecate this earthquake disaster too much.I really hope that the government more consider this problem and disaster area will restore as soon as possible.
