“Women are far more likely to follow orders to evacuate, especially women with children. At the same time, women were much more likely to die during the South Asian tsunami. In some villages it was 3 to 1. And that was party because of the average strength it takes to hold onto something. Also it was cultural; women were less likely to know how to swim, as were children. So much of this is based on how we develop our own survival skills before something goes wrong: Even if nothing goes wrong, it might be good to know how to swim.” IfsKnowsChildrenMightOrderDiesPartyKnow HowSkillsSurvivalSouthAverageBe GoodSwimVillageAsianTsunamiSurvival Skills Author:Amanda Ripley
