An earthquake museum should be built at a place where a building collapsed so that future generations can learn about the Mandalay earthquake that struck on March 28, U Thein Tun Oo, director of Myanmar Fire Services Department, said.
U Thein Tun Oo made the remarks in a separate interview with One News at a cash and food presentation ceremony to honour search and rescue team members held at the Nay Pyi Taw Fire Services Department on April 19.
He said that he wanted an earthquake museum to be built so that future generations could remember the events that the people suffered due to the earthquake that struck at 12:51 pm on March 28.
In addition, it is necessary to identify lessons about the earthquake and work to make them known to the new generation, he said.
The Mandalay earthquake that struck Myanmar on March 28 killed and injured thousands of people and caused considerable damage to religious buildings, State-owned buildings, roads and bridges,and people’s homes as well.
