While I appreciate India's humanitarian efforts, I wonder if we're doing enough for disaster preparedness in our own northeastern states which are equally earthquake-prone.

Round-the-clock operations in disaster zones are no joke. These medical teams deserve all our respect. Does anyone know if they're taking civilian volunteers?
