How can I help after an earthquake?

Victims

If the quake has caused extensive damage emergency services will be "strapped" initially. Other victims may rely heavily on the assistance of good samaritans. If you're up for it, grab one of your first aid kits to help any other injured or trapped victims. Calling for help doesn't hurt, but obviously there will more than likely be a long delay in the normal response times, which is usually 8 - 10 minutes.
