How strong is our disaster preparedness system?

Editor, Last night, at around 1.50 am, I sensed an ever so slight earth tremor. It was very brief and not ‘earth-shattering’. I distinctly felt the furniture and ground below me as well as the walls around me ‘tremble’. Given the recent events in Haiti, one is bound to start asking oneself whether Rwanda is prepared for such an eventuality. Granted, it is obvious that we are not situated in an area whereby earthquakes, hurricanes and typhoons, as well as floods are endemic.
