Building Catastrophe in Philadelphia | Preparation

On Wednesday morning, a building apparently collapsed into a structure for an organization known for the used the collection and distribution of things for the needed.

Although the incident was on a much smaller scale than the building collapse in Bangladesh within recent months that is blamed for the lives of almost 800, the picture of the incident is reminiscent.

What could have been done to prevent both catastrophes?

The hand to bucket method of rescuing helped considerably in Philadelphia, but was nearly futile in the extreme case in Bangladesh.

What are standard developed methods of rescue, that can be effective no matter the size of the event?
