I really appreciate your willingness to help and preparedness to do so. I'm just afraid a New Madrid event will be more like the recent mudslide in the PI...just put up a marker saying what had once been. Enough of that pessimism...on to something else.
You are probably correct. The area is not attuned to earthquake resistant design as is California. The damage assessment will be pretty easy.....condemn condemn condemn.
There is also an assumption that help can actually get there. That is a big assumption if transportation is disrupted.
