...initiative's message is simple: plan ahead. Secure your home, have a plan for your family, for the elderly, the disabled, pets. Prepare your insurance claim. Have a three-day supply of food and water for each individual, flashlights and first-aid kit. Secure extra medicine...
...economy may have grown 10.4% last year, fueled by an influx of Chinese investment and strong clothing exports, but the country is still heavily dependent on agriculture-more than 80% of its 14 million citizens are farmers.
