Civilians will play an important role in the rescue work if proper trained.

For instance, in the 1980’s earthquake occurred in the south of Italy, 90% survivors were rescued by those untrained people only with their hands and simple tools such as scoops or axes. In 1967 Tangshan earthquake, about 200,000 to 300,000 civilians who were trapped in the ruin climbed out by themselves and then helped others out of danger. Thanks to those people, more than 80% people trapped were rescued.
