Factors Influencing Survival of Earthquake Victims Trapped Under Rubble
Survival for people trapped under earthquake rubble depends on factors like injury severity, access to air and water, temperature, and presence of hazards such as fire or chemicals. Experts say victims in debris-free pockets, or "survivable voids," have better chances. Most rescues occur within 24 hours, with survival odds decreasing daily. In Venezuela's La Guaira, over 770 buildings collapsed after recent earthquakes, prompting international rescue efforts involving thousands of workers and search dogs.
