Nepal is due for a big earthquake.  No amount of denial is going to change that.  Most of our buildings are also woefully under designed.  You can definitely count on the government being completely incapable of any rescue efforts when the time comes.

A little bit of effort, though, can go a long way and can mean the difference between life and death.  This thread is for tips and ideas on how to increase your chances of surviving the next one.
