| [OOC] Man in a Moment Overthrown |

This is an out-of-character thread for discussion relating to Man in a Moment Overthrown, a roleplay covering the 2018 Mamaqaqa earthquake in the Qhichwa Republic. A link to the in-character thread can be found here.
how powerful is the earthquake?
(07-12-2018, 09:45 PM)Imperial Frost Federation Wrote: how powerful is the earthquake? It's a 7.8 on the Richter scale (which rates the power of the earthquake) and a IX on the Mercalli intensity scale (which rates structural damage caused by the earthquake). This makes it an extremely severe earthquake: IX on the Mercalli intensity scale is "Damage considerable in specially designed structures; well-designed frame structures thrown out of plumb. Damage great in substantial buildings, with partial collapse. Buildings shifted off foundations. Liquefaction." Because Qhichwa is a developing nation, there are no building codes which mandate specific designs for counteracting earthquakes' effects on any building's foundation or structural integrity, although the country has been plagued by frequent earthquakes since prehistory (still, none in recent history have been anywhere near as severe as this one.) As the news report in the IC thread stated, casualties are somewhere in the thousands and property damage in the billions of dollars after only a single night of destruction—and expected only to rise.

I'll contribute to this somehow (not sure how, yet). It's seems unthinkable that Erinor wouldn't want to aid another nation after having had its own earthquake on a similar scale eighteen months ago.

I sent help. You might hear trouble from Gordista. No rampages this time.

My apologies for the long wait. My second post is out now. If you have any questions about where the Department of Health is directing your relief efforts, feel free to ask them here.
