How were you going to solve the problem brought by earthquakes in South Africa​
lisabon 2012 [21]

Ensuring the safety of the people after the earthquake struck would be the main priority. Make sure there would be no occurrence of tsunami before deploying rescue operations. I would immediately deploy all of the necessary health equipment and personnel to the affected areas. Rescue operations must be started also to save those who were trapped by debris. Also the removal of live electrical wires is really important.
