The chances of survival for people trapped under debris after an earthquake depend on several factors, including weather conditions and access to water and air. If their injuries are not too severe, victims can survive for a week or longer. Rescue teams are working to find survivors after a powerful earthquake struck Colombia.

Most rescues occur within the first 24 hours after a disaster like an earthquake. However, the chances of survival decrease with each passing day. In 2011, a teenager and her 80-year-old grandmother survived for 9 days under the rubble of their home after an earthquake and tsunami in Japan. For trapped victims, water and air are crucial, and those buried under debris have a better chance of surviving until they are rescued.
