Japanese elderly suffer hardest shocks in quake - International Herald Tribune

There are only 12 CERT volunteers at LVH.... This quake was only a 6.8. Read the story.. See what can be in store for us here. Then volunteer to take the CERT training in September or come to the CERT meetings on Wednesday and learn how to help those that are CERT trained.

Japanese elderly suffer hardest shocks in quake - International Herald Tribune: "KASHIWAZAKI, Japan: When a large aftershock suddenly shook a crowded elementary school gymnasium here, sending those inside scurrying in confusion, Chizuko Shimizu, 75, sat marooned on her blanket, unable to stand without help.

She had been immobilized after breaking two ribs and cutting her foot during a powerful earthquake Monday that damaged homes across this northwestern city, driving her and some 450 other residents to the gym for shelter."
