Along the seismically restless arc of the Philippine archipelago, a 7.8 magnitude earthquake reminded the world once again how swiftly the ground beneath ordinary life can give way. At least 46 people have died, and some 32,000 have been torn from their homes, as rescue teams press through the rubble of collapsed buildings in search of those still breathing beneath the debris. It is a moment that belongs to a long human story of living in vulnerable places — and of the extraordinary effort that follows when the earth moves.
