Earthquake Survival: Factors and Rescue Efforts

The likelihood of survival after an earthquake-induced collapse is contingent upon a multitude of factors, including the promptness of rescue efforts and the individual's physical condition.

According to experts, a person can survive for an extended period, potentially up to a week, provided they have access to sustenance, hydration, and medical care. Conversely, if they are injured or confined in a cramped space, their chances of survival dwindle precipitously.

The efficacy of rescue operations is paramount in salvaging lives and administering medical attention to those in dire need.
