The earthquake prompted a tsunami warning in the area, with authorities urging coastal residents to immediately evacuate to higher grounds. The earthquake was the largest earthquake to have hit Jakarta and West Java since 2009, when a magnitude 7.0 struck Java killing 81 people. In the aftermath, the earthquake damaged a total of 505 structures ...
It is believed that the loss of human life would have been dramatically reduced, if a tsunami warning system, like the one that exists for the volcano-and-earthquake prone Pacific Rim, had been operational in the Indian Ocean. Technology, such as tremor and tidal gauges, fast data transfer and alarm mechanisms, used in combination with training ...
For the first time since 2009, the California Geological Survey has released new tsunami hazard area maps for Ventura, San Diego, Marin, Napa, Santa Cruz, Solano and Sonoma counties to help ...
The California Geological Survey releases tsunami hazard maps for Ventura, San Diego, Marin, Napa, Santa Cruz, Solano and Sonoma counties to help residents understand risks.
At 14:11 PST (06:11 UTC) on December 15, 2019, the province of Davao del Sur on the island of Mindanao in the Philippines was struck by an earthquake measuring 6.8 M ww. It had a maximum perceived intensity of VII (Very strong) on the Modified Mercalli Intensity Scale. [2] At least 13 people were killed and another 210 injured. [1]
United States Geological Survey shake map for the 2019 Luzon earthquake; a maximum Mercalli intensity scale value of 6.6 was observed in Gutad, Floridablanca, Pampanga. The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS) initially reported an earthquake of magnitude 5.7 striking at 17:11 PST with an epicenter two kilometers N 28° E of Castillejos, Zambales.
[9] [10] The tsunami warning was issued within 3 minutes with the most serious rating on its warning scale during the 2011 TÅhoku earthquake and tsunami; it was rated as a "major tsunami", being at least 3 m (9.8 ft) high. [10] [11] An improved system was unveiled on March 7, 2013, following the 2011 disaster to better assess imminent tsunamis.
