TACHILEIK – Rescuers battled Saturday to reach thousands of survivors in remote areas of Myanmar after an earthquake tore up roads and reduced hundreds of homes to rubble, leaving 75 people dead. The powerful 6.8 magnitude quake struck in the east of the country near the borders with Thailand and Laos late on Thursday and was felt as far away as the Vietnamese capital Hanoi. The towns of Tarlay, Mong Lin and Tachileik in Myanmar’s Shan state appeared to have been most severely affected by the quake, which flattened hundreds of houses and toppled monasteries and government buildings.
Rare images from the area on Thai television and exiled media showed roads riven with huge cracks, bridges destroyed and homes reduced to piles of timber.
Strong aftershocks continued into Saturday. A motorcycle taxi driver in Tachileik told AFP that things were “calm” in the town. “We were frightened in the beginning, but now we are trying to get back to normal,” he said. The charity World Vision said around 15,000 people could have been affected in the worst-hit areas. It is sending in first aid kits and tarpaulins to give emergency shelter for up to 2,500 families. “This is an immediate concern as even last night there was rain,” said Chris Herink, Myanmar country director in Yangon. He told AFP that rescuers were transporting supplies along the road into Tarlay, but a broken bridge was disrupting access to Tachileik, although the government was working to repair the structure.
A Myanmar official said there had been no official increase in the toll from Friday’s figure of 74. One woman was also killed in Thailand. “There might be some places we still cannot reach because of the communication and transportation problems. The death toll could rise,” the official added. The region affected was already difficult to reach before the quake, access to the area by foreigners is restricted and the military dominated government tends to keep a tight grip on information. The ruling junta was widely criticised for refusing foreign assistance for weeks after cyclone Nargis wrought devastation across the Irrawaddy Delta in May 2008, leaving more than 138,000 people either killed or missing.

The communications to the government system of Myanmar as @ July 2011 –
The economic parameters gleaned for the Himalayan administration are for the small holdings and the sustainability of the food networks corresponding to the small holdings in the seasonal cropping including the seasonal cropping in the rice cultures.

The ecology and the ecological parameters for the terrain in Myanmar are in the forest systems of the Himalayan range, the plant species in the forest systems cleared for the subtropics of the northern hemisphere and the in the altitudes, the land use practices prevalent in the collectives in the village systems including the range of uses to the forest resources in the seasons and the combinations of the economic practices as per the economics in the locis to realise the transactions in the food networks as per the organization prevalent in the specific village systems in the regions of Myanmar.

The conditions for the quake and the possible transitions to be observed in the village systems are to be as per the records in the data base and the distribution of the slots for the seasonal cropping in the specific geographical locis.
The strategies to establish the land use practices for time again –
The terms to establish the eco parameters for the slots in the seasonal cropping in the previous instance in the specific geographical locis seem to be a vital challenge.
The legislature adopted to define the slots for the land use practices in the seasonal cropping for each of the type of crop also seems to be a vital question.
