How does it feel to survive an earthquake?
‘After an interval that can only be measured in terms of eternity, we found ourselves back in the more familiar dimensions of space and time’ - Jean Kingdon-Ward ('My Hill so Strong', London, 1952) In August 1950, Jean and her husband, botanist Francis Kingdon-Ward, experienced an earthquake whilst visiting the Lohit Valley on the India–Tibet borderlands. Using their recollections of the event as a case study, Dr Dan Haines, Lecturer in Disaster and Crisis Response and Programme Leader for the UCL Risk, Disaster and Resilience MSc, explores how time is perceived by people who experience earthquakes and how this impacts future response to emergencies. The themes he discusses in this video are based on his article 'Timescapes, subjectivity and emotions after the India–Tibet earthquake, 1950', available here: https://doi.org/10.1093/pastj/gtad025 Find out more about the UCL Institute for Risk and Disaster Reduction (IRDR) on our website.
