Impact Of The American Broadcasting On The North Coast Of The United States

The earthquake occurred on the 12th of January 2010, a slip along the conservative boundary situated along Haiti caused a significant earthquake with subsequent damaging aftershocks. As can be seen in figure 1 the shaking intensity was strongest at the epicentre of the

Kathryn Schulz has provided insight of the dangers of the Cascadia Subduction Zone and the lack of our countries preparedness. Seismologist has detected and proven probability of an enormous earthquake and/or tsunami that is over due to take place along the western coast line and yet the lack of preparedness is evident. Thousands of lives will be lost due to unpreparedness.

It’s 5:15 AM, and the streets are quiet. By 5:30, the streets are torn apart, and rubble is strewn everywhere. What happened in those fifteen minutes was the San Fransisco earthquake. When you look at “Comprehending the Calamity” by Emma Burke and Laurence Yep’s Dragonwings, you can truly imagine the extent of the damage and fear, even though Burke’s purpose is to inform, while Yep’s is to entertain.

Earthquakes have afflicted the world since its inception. The sudden release of energy from volcanoes or displacing of earth plates can result in disasters of extreme magnitude. These usually naturally occurring phenomenon have been responsible from wiping out entire towns throughout history and until today continue to produce major loss of life and infrastructure. It can take years for a city or country to recover from a major event of this kind and when a third world country is involved, the result is usually exponentially worse than in a developed country. In the past decades Japan, Chile and Haiti have suffered the devastation an earthquake produces. This document will concentrate in Haiti, a small country in the Caribbean. On

On August 24, 2014 a magnitude 6.0 earthquake occurred in and around the city of Napa, CA. The earthquake killed one person and injured over 150 people. And these people were treated at Queen of the Valley Medical Center in Napa [1]. More and more earthquakes occurred on this earth. So this grasps people’s attention.

Imagine if you had to restart your life, new shelter, new job, new lifestyle. Well locals or people in the Philippines had to restart their life when an earthquake with an magnitude of 7.1 hit the country and destroyed people’s lives. The earthquake had a devastating 7.1 magnitude. The earthquake hit the Philippines on October 15th, 2013. The likely culprit of the earthquake was the East Bohol Fault because the two tectonic plates were sliding against each other and the creates an earthquake. Sadly, earthquake killed more than 90 people. Ports, schools, and airports were damaged. A hospital collapsed then that lead to a killing of 18 people. Children were also injured at sports complexes because people rushed the exits when the the ground started to shake. Lastly, 5 people were killed in a landslide that was triggered from the earthquake. What really matters though is how people respond to the

One of the most destructive threats lies more than 100 feet underground, and could awaken at any time. Memphis, Tennessee sits about 50 miles south of the most active seismic region east of the Rock Mountains. A major earthquake in the New Madrid Seismic Zone would create unfathomable destruction in the Memphis, Tennessee metropolitan area, destroying major bridges and highways, as well as unreinforced masonry buildings. Planning and preparing for such an unpredictable event is taxing, but critical for the survival of so many important regions in the Central United States. As an emergency manager, it is crucial to communicate and prepare with other agencies and stakeholders in order to produce an effective emergency response plan. Preparing the public and making citizens aware of the hazards around them is one of the most important tasks, because they are the first of the first responders. Through communication and collaboration, emergency managers are able to effectively prepare for, mitigate against, respond to, and recover from all hazards, regardless of the

Have you ever heard of an earthquake so big that hundreds of thousands of people lost their lives, more than three hundred thousand people were injured, and 1.5 million people became homeless? If not, let me introduce you to the Haiti Earthquake. This enormous earthquake destroyed many lives. It was believed to have been caused by the shifting of tectonic plates in the Earth. But, is this the truth?

1) The circum-pacific seismic belt which is the greatest earthquake belt, where 81% of the largest earthquakes occur, having the nickname of “Ring of Fire” it is responsible for 70,000 deaths in Peru of May 1970, and 65 deaths in California leaving billions of dollars of damages in February 1971.

In early 2010 central south Chile experienced a Mw = 8.8 earthquake and large tsunami waves that devastated areas on the Chilean Pacific coast, nearby offshore islands, and areas near the epicenter. In addition to the tsunami, the earthquake had many other geological consequences including aftershocks, terrestrial and submarine land-sliding, elevation changes, and a gravity shift. The purpose of this paper is to discuss and analyze the earthquake, its consequences, the resulting damages, and mitigation.

Earthquakes throughout the world have devastated certain areas of the world, some places more than others. One area of the world that has been absolutely devastated by many earthquakes throughout time is the South American country, Chile. While there have been many very substantial earthquakes in Chile, one stands out most, The Great Chilean Earthquake. On May 22, 1960, The Great Chilean Earthquake hit Chile. This is the largest earthquake ever recorded with a magnitude of 9.5 out of 10.0. It absolutely traumatized the country of Chile and surrounding areas. Just the earthquake itself wasn't the only thing doing damage, the quake caused monstrous tsunamis across the coast of Chile and it even caused tsunamis in Hawaii, Japan, and the Philippines. For an earthquake to not only cause mass destruction to the area of the quake, but to strongly affect other places, just goes to show how powerful The Great Chilean Earthquake was. Not only has Chile have to deal with this great earthquake, Chile has been hit with almost 30 8.0 earthquake throughout time that we know of. Chile also has 2 of the top 10 biggest earthquakes ever recorded. The Great Chilean Earthquake and the the amount of big earthquakes Chile has to deal with, definitely affects how the Chilean people live everyday, they have to live in fear that the next “Big One” could devastate their country again.

On January 12, 2010 a 7.0 earthquake struck the Republic of Haiti. This earthquake caused a large amount of destruction and devastation. In order to understand this earthquake more in depth, it will be discussed on how it affected the earth, the damages and death tolls, the economic impact, and the permanent consequences.

The devastating occurrence of natural disasters happen every year, affecting millions of individuals all over the world. Unfortunately, these events cannot be prevented as they are natural processes of the Earth, being uncontrollable and often unpredictable.1 On March 11th 2011, at 2:46 p.m JST, the northeastern coast of Japan would face its’ worst nightmare (Fig. 1).2 This day marks the birth of the fifth largest earthquake in the world recorded with modern instruments, now known as the “2011 Tohoku Earthquake and Tsunami”. A magnitude 9.0 mW megathrust earthquake shuddered northeastern Japan, triggering a powerful tsunami wave moments after.3

On March 11, 2011, Japan was struck by a natural disaster of biblical proportions. The devastating effect of the earthquake which led to a tsunami on this day was particularly brutal. According to the New York times, nearly 20,000 lives were lost due to this catastrophic event. The purpose of this essay is to analyze the fallout from this disaster and propose three important lessons that have significant learning value that may be helpful in preventing such wide scale effects as seen in Japan nearly a year and a half ago.
