When a 7.9 magnitude earthquake destroyed Myanmar, HOW TO HELP！！
How the world's leading earthquake-resistant building makes "home" the last line of defense in a disaster
Contrast: Earthquakes shatter traditional buildings, but not the future of modular technology
At 14:20 on March 28, 2025, a 7.9 magnitude earthquake struck Myanmar with a focal depth of only 30 kilometers, killing 144 people and injuring 732 others, collapsing the palace wall in Mandalay, Myanmar, and collapsing hotels near the Jade Market. In the disaster, however, a striking contrast has emerged: traditional brick-and-mortar buildings have been destroyed, while modern modular houses have remained virtually intact. This phenomenon not only reveals the fatal weakness of traditional buildings, but also points to an irreversible trend - the future of safe housing must be modular, rapidly deployable intelligent buildings.
Experts from the China Earthquake Network pointed out that the earthquake is located in one of the most active areas of the Himalayan seismic belt, which has repeatedly experienced strong earthquakes of more than 8 magnitude in history. Faced with such frequent geological disasters, what humans need is not prayer, but technology that can truly withstand disasters.
Second, resonance scene: When the "home" has become a ruin, how much security do you have left?
Imagine this:
- You're resting at home when the ground shakes violently, bookshelves collapse, walls crack, ceiling fragments fall...
- After an earthquake, you stand in front of the ruins and find that the house you saved your life for is in ruins and will take at least six months to rebuild, if not longer.
What's more, aftershocks continue, and you can only live in temporary tents, enduring the attack of wind and rain and mosquitoes.
This is not a fictional scene, but the real experience of earthquake victims in Myanmar. According to statistics, the earthquake caused the collapse of more than 300 buildings in Mandalay, including hospitals and schools, and traditional buildings are generally less than 5 earthquake resistance. More worryingly, cities in the global earthquake belt, such as Ruili in Yunnan Province, just 310 kilometers from the epicenter, are also at great risk.
Your home, is it really safe?
