On 25 April 2015, a massive earthquake of 7.8 magnitude struck 77 km north-west of Nepal's capital,
Kathmandu. It was the most powerful earthquake to have hit Nepal since 1934. It led to heavy loss of life
and property. During this earthquake four men were trapped under the 10 feet rubble. They were rescued
by NASA technology, FINDER (Finding Individuals for Disaster and Emergency Response) which sensed their
heartbeats. This was the first time when this technology was used in a real-life situation. This is indeed a
big step towards disaster management. But this, in no way, reduces our responsibilities as human beings.
Under the circumstances, what best can we do after such a disaster?
Suggest any five ways in which we can help the victims of other types of disasters.

Answer:
The April 2015 Nepal earthquake (also known as the Gorkha earthquake)killed nearly 9,000 people and injured nearly 22,000. It occurred at 11:56 Nepal Standard Time on 25 April 2015, with a magnitude of 7.8Mw or 8.1Ms and a maximum Mercalli Intensity of VIII (Severe). Its epicenter was east of Gorkha District at Barpak, Gorkha, and its hypocenter was at a depth of approximately 8.2 km (5.1 mi).It was the worst natural disaster to strike Nepal since the 1934 Nepal–Bihar earthquake.The ground motion recorded in the capital of Nepal was of low frequency, which, along with its occurrence at an hour where many people in rural areas were working outdoors, decreased the loss of property and human lives.
The earthquake triggered an avalanche on Mount Everest, killing 21,making 25 April 2015 the deadliest day on the mountain in history.The earthquake triggered another huge avalanche in the Langtang valley, where 250 people were reported missing.
