The Earthquake Desk is engineered to protect schoolchildren from heavy debris, unlike a common school desk. Watch how carpenters and welders in Bhutan manufactured a batch of these desks in their earthquake-prone country, working step-by-step with the inventors, and don't miss the dramatic "crush" test.

This is the trailer for the documentary film Naya Suruwaat. It was made in the Kathmandu Valley, Nepal. This area has many damaging earthquakes. In the film, Nepalese parents, masons, teachers, principals and others talk about their local public schools. They were worried about earthquake damage to the buildings and that the students and teachers would be harmed. They decided to make the buildings earthquake resistant. The original film was made in 2013. The film crew returned to the schools after the historic April 25, 2015 Gorkha earthquake, to film what happened to these schools. The documentary Naya Suruwaat includes this new information at the end. The documentary was made by Baardali Films in support of Stanford University Ph.D. research project. The Ph.D. student was a geologist who wanted to know how much people who watch this film change their knowledge and opinion about earthquake resistant construction. Information on how to build earthquake resistant schools or homes is available from your District Department of Education or your Village and District Development Committees.

GeoHazards International, in partnership with the Peruvian nonprofit Estrategia, Pontifical Catholic University of Peru and Stanford University, designed and implemented a project to reduce earthquake risk in the Andean village of Chocos. The project raised the community's awareness of its earthquake risk, helped villagers map their vulnerabilities, conducted masons trainings and retrofitted the village's adobe brick primary school. visit: http://www.geohaz.org/

Masons and community volunteers in Chocos, Peru, learned how to make strong adobe blocks. Blocks made with the correct proportion of materials, and proper drying, are less likely to crumble during an earthquake. Villagers used these strong blocks to construct a new school, which incorporated additional seismic safety measures. No narration.
