In the pursuit of spreading awareness related to earthquake safety and preparedness, Assam State Disaster Management Authority (ASDMA), conducted this awareness programme. The name “Richter 8.1” was coined to evoke interest from the people and also to represent the intensity and significance of the said programme. The campaign involved extensive tours conducted across many schools situated in the district of Kamrup (Urban& Rural). During the course of the programme, around 80+ schools were visited. For this very purpose, a bus (Awareness Ride) was inducted which was very meticulously designed, modified and decorated exclusively to cater to the needs of the awareness programme. The campaign was well received and highly appreciated by the students in particular and the public in general.
