Earthquakes in Europe : National, international and European policy for the prevention and mitigation of seismic disaster, by Fereniki Vatavali, 2003; BBC News « Plan for Quake warning system, 5 June 2008 » Diagnose the impact of global earthquakes from direct and indirect eyewitnesses contribution
EMSC involves them in earthquake response by collecting in-situ information (e.g., questionnaires, pictures, videos) on the earthquake impact directly from the earthquake eyewitnesses. Consequently, by involving the citizens in the response, the EMSC paves the way for an efficient strategy to raise seismic risk awareness.
The Icelandic Met Office has updated its readings for earthquakes recorded today. At 11.30am, it reported there had been around 180 minor earthquakes near the dike in the Grindavik region so far ...
On 8 September 2023 at 23:11 DST (22:11 UTC), an earthquake with a moment magnitude of 6.9 and maximum Mercalli intensity of IX (Violent) struck Morocco's Al Haouz Province. The earthquake's epicenter was 73.4 km (45.6 mi) southwest of Marrakesh, near the town of Ighil [2] and the Oukaïmeden ski resort in the Atlas Mountains. [3]
The largest earthquake registered a 5.1 magnitude, it said, while 17 other earthquakes with a magnitude of 3 or higher were detected, including at least two measuring magnitude 4 or above.
The earthquake had a magnitude of 6.4 M w and a depth of 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) according to Advanced National Seismic System (ANSS) [1] and European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC), [11] while the Seismological Survey of Croatia recorded 6.2 M L.
The 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami became the costliest natural disaster, resulting in approximately $360 billion in property damage at the time, followed by the 2023 Turkey–Syria earthquakes and the 2008 Sichuan earthquake, which resulted in $163.6 billion and $150 billion in damage, respectively.
The state typically experiences between 10 and 20 earthquakes above magnitude 2.0 each year, said Andy Newman, a professor of geophysics at Georgia Tech. As for what’s behind the recent shakes ...
