I just wanted to point out the fact that in Kyrgyzstan there are no any actions to keep people prepared for such disasters. Since our governnment is reluctant on such issues, sesimologists could try inform people, who live in seismic active zones, of possible earthquakes and how to get prepared for them.

I've noticed that there is a widespread belief in Central Asia that earthquakes can be predicted. Rumors of an upcoming one brought Tashkent to a standstill recently. Bill's right. Disaster preparedness is far more important. That’s pretty much exactly what I was going to say. I’ve noticed that there is a widespread belief in Central Asia that earthquakes can be predicted.

Bill’s right. Disaster preparedness is far more important.

I say this with emphasis because the best seismological minds in the world have been trying to do this for over a century and they have yet to find a solution to the problem. Do not criticise the seismologists in KG or anywhere else on this matter, it is not a fault of ommission, it simply can not be done. I understand the frustration this causes but it is a very difficult problem to solve. Kyrgyzstan is in a very seismically active area, devasting earthquakes have occurred here in the past and they will happen again in the future. The best thing to do is to make sure you are prepared. There are many sources of information on how to handle such emergencies, study the information, it could save your life. Dear Sir/Madam,
