Relief for Indonesia

A 6.3 magnitude earthquake in Indonesia has killed about 5,000 people. It's really a shame that so many died because most of those deaths were preventable. I was living in Lacey, WA when the Nisqually Earthquake hit in 2001, no one died directly as a result of that earthquake and it was a 6.8 magnitude earthquake. Compared with 1994 Northridge Earthquake, 57 people died. Northridge was a 6.7 earthquake.

Obviously, levels of development in earthquake prone areas contribute to the survivability of a major earthquake. Thankfully, the relief infrastructure that was set up after the Christmas Tsunami is still in place. However, they need your help.
