8:19 am
taiwan has made such big improvements in terms of building codes and infrastructure that is designed to be earthquake proof. and so we saw much more limited damages this time around. despite the magnitude of the earthquake. alright, that being said there are still hundreds of people waiting rescue, which is why it's important to keep fundraising and making sure we're offering our support as much as possible. what have you heard from your peers were out in taiwan right now? i would say everyone is doing what they need to be doing and that means some people are going to relief efforts. some people are going back to work or school. and i think that shows a lot of the trust they have in the mechanism be put in place to protect themselves as a society and structurally to safeguard against earthquakes like this. tell us a bit about how the tonys american federation of northern california is working to help with relief efforts right now share so nice american federation of northern california is a 501, c 3 nonprofit u.s. tab list in 1973. so we have decades of experience and connecting counties americans to each

8:21 am
physically be there to come for our loved ones. we're doing what we can. i think nice americans also feel a very specific responsibility to help because of the reality of taiwan, despite receiving more attention these days still be in jail politically. very isolated. we have few formal diplomatic allies. we're not allowed to be a member of the eu and wb which are these global coalition is meant to facilitate, not sharing. and so in times of crisis like this, tehran cannot receive or offer their own help after developing so much expertise. and so we just have a nice americans feel so much direct responsibility to amplify what i was doing and to acknowledge how far we've come in terms of being able to safeguard against disasters like this. all right. wonderful. if people want to also contribute outside of monetary donations, is there a way that they can do that? i would say to keep focusing on amplifying the stories of the taiwanese people. i think he's doing a great job of that. i really appreciate it. but just membrane to keep a lot of the coverage focused on how are
