  1. Letters: Are earthquake alerts worth it?

    Re "Warning: It's a quake," Editorial, Feb. 3 One of the principal advocates for developing an early earthquake warning system, a geologist in California, once said: "Earthquakes don't kill people; buildings kill people." In light of that statement,...

  3. Warning: It's a quake

    The San Andreas Fault is <a href="http://lat.ms/U7pRXm">overdue</a> for a <a href="http://lat.ms/Xsa6Xn">powerful</a> earthquake, geologists say, but there is no way to predict when it will strike. Yet as Japan has <a href="http://lat.ms/Xtirdl">demonstrated,</a> it is possible to detect the start of a quake and alert at least some potential victims moments before the most damaging shocks hit. That country's detection and warning system helped minimize the casualties from the massive quake off its coast in 2011, although the resulting tsunami claimed thousands of lives.

  4. Richard M. Walden, Operation USA's charity buccaneer

    Almost on impulse, almost 35 years ago, Richard M. Walden and a friend rounded up six tons of relief supplies and a jet to ferry them to Vietnamese boat people in Malaysia. Thus was Operation California &mdash; now Operation USA &mdash; born. A Times headline soon called him the "charity buccaneer," a red-tape-slashing contrarian who fretted about the "international web of neglect," and who still has sharp words for relief efforts unmet and relief agencies that don't measure up. He has steadfast celebrity supporters, like Julie Andrews, but the advent of social media that let anyone text a few bucks to Lady Gaga's favorite charity in the middle of a concert has made things harder for brick-and-mortar charities like Operation USA. Walden soldiers on, boldly going where too many charity-come-latelies can only try to go.
