EARTHQUAKE, THE NATURAL CATASTROPHE THAT HIT PART
OF THIS WORLD IN THE EARLY YEAR OF 2010 AND
INFLICTED DAMAGES IN BOTH HUMAN LIVES AND
PROPERTY DAMAGES.


Although an earthquate has remained one of the world's natural catastrophe which its occurrance can not be averted , but instead predicted by some of the countries that have high tecnology devices and equipments such as satelites, super computers and other seismic devices needed for the detection of the quake in almost all the parts of the world in our time today , I wonder why the authorities responsible for the natural catastrophe information and evacuation services , or the government have not been notified about the predictable earthquake that hit Port-au-prince earlier this week and inflicted damages in both humans lives and properties.
Despite the fact that many countries including the USA have extra-ordinarily responded to aid the earth-quake victims , I felt strange and asked myself ,whether all that which occurred could not have been avioded, or minimized by prediction early notification and evacuation, or the authorities in Haiti may have looked-out despite the warnings about the quake that had been wired to them.
