Well well, what a day. Hanging on by 4hrs sleep, I think our group did alright. While theres always more that could have been done we did show our group's understanding of what an earthquake is, does, and how it affects people. And while seated, waiting, we also learned a lot about disasters at sea as well as flooding. This included some impressive footage of the recent storm that hit Melbourne, whose typography being as flat as a pancake didnt quite cope with the terrential rain which turned Burke St into Burke River sending Elizabeth crashing into Flinder St Station. While not part of the video I happen to know that Southern Cross Station's massive wave roof was partially taken down by the hail that swamped the Victorian capital. But onto earthquakes!!
I thought our tutorial as a whole came up with quite interesting concepts to tackle the problems faced with our disater areas. I was quite glad I managed to pull together 4 concepts, the 4th coming to fruition about 5mins before I was due to present my ideas!! and it proved to be one of the better ones too. A water bottle shaped for secondary use in temporary construction. Either that or an expandable shelter that can be set up easily and quickly and offer more than the conventional pole tent. So the next couple of weeks will be interesting to see which idea prevails..
