earthquake response case study

The earthquake occurred on New Zealand's South Island, 10km west of Christchurch, at 12.51 pm on 22nd February 2011 and lasted just 10 seconds. Measuring 6.3 on the Richter Scale and, at 4.99 km deep, the earthquake was very shallow. The earthquake occurred along a conservative margin between the Pacific Plate and the Australasian Plate.

In the first in the series, on 29 July, a 6.4 magnitude quake triggered landslides in the mountain region of the island and killed at least 16 people. Following this a shallow, magnitude 6.9 earthquake struck Lombok and Bali on August 5th, 2018, killing over 555 people, injuring 1300 and leaving at least 353000 homeless.

A Japan Case Study Report on Road Geohazard Risk Management shows the role that both national policy and public-private agreements can play. In response to the GEJE, Japan's central disaster legislation, the DCBA (Disaster Countermeasures Basic Act) was amended in 2012, with particular focus on the need to reopen roads for emergency response.

ITALY EARTHQUAKE RESPONSE AND RECOVERY 2 Italian Earthquakes, August and October 2016 This case study highlights the response, best practices, and lessons learned by MNOs in Italy (TIM, 3 Italia2, Wind3 and Vodafone) as a result of these earthquakes, and outlines priority areas aimed at improving

China is one of the countries most affected by earthquakes. Improving public cognition and response to earthquake disaster (EDCR) is an effective means to reduce seismic risk and losses. The 2013 Lushan earthquake area was also stricken by the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake. Most of the residents in this area have been affected by both earthquakes, which provides a rare opportunity to gain insight ...

GIS-based multicriteria evaluation (MCE) provides a framework for analysing complex decision problems by quantifying variables of interest to score potential locations according to their suitability. In the context of earthquake preparedness and post-disaster response, MCE has relied mainly on uninformed or non-expert stakeholders to identify high-risk zones, prioritise areas for response, or ...

Introduction. On January 12, 2010, a 7.0 magnitude earthquake struck the Republic of Haiti. The human cost was enormous—an estimated 316,000 people were killed, and a further 300,000 were injured. The scope of the disaster was matched by the scope of the response, which remains the largest multinational humanitarian response to date.

Earthquake source studies indicate that the fault ruptured with a maximum slip of 60-80 m over an area approximately 450 km by 200 km , making the pre-2011 estimates irrelevant. Paleoseismological studies suggested the predecessor of the 2011 Tohoku earthquake had been the 869 Jogan earthquake [13,14]. The variability in size and recurrence ...

After analyzing the data, it can be seen that the acceleration of all 31 monitoring points increased abruptly within one minute after the earthquake, and the fastest response time was 8 s. This case proves that the GNSS landslide monitoring system has a highly sensitive response to earthquakes occurring in the surrounding area. (2)

The case discusses the earthquake of February 6, 2023, in Turkey and the Syrian border and its devastating impact. The event known as the Kahramanmaras earthquake affected 14 million people, killing more than 50,000 and damaging more than 160,000 buildings. Though Turkey had a disaster management plan in place in the wake of the 1999 earthquake ...

Convergence properties of the new algorithm are studied mathematically, and a post-earthquake disaster response case study is employed to demonstrate numerically the algorithm's efficacy. Approximate policy iteration (API) is a class of reinforcement learning (RL) algorithms that seek to solve the long-run discounted reward Markov decision p ...

Effects of the Kobe Earthquake. 6,434 people were killed, 4,600 of them Kobe residents. 40,000 people were seriously injured. 300,000 people became homeless. The city's infrastructure was badly damaged. Gas mains were ruptured, water pipes fractured and elevated roads collapsed, such as the Hanshin expressway.

Mori et al. (2020) proposed a Vs30 map for Italy using the 1:100,000 geological map and geomorphological classes as proxies of Vs30 obtained by multiple in-situ geophysical tests from the Italian seismic microzonation dataset. In this study, we present a Vs30 map (Main Map) tailored for the Marche region, Central Italy, according to its ...

As a case study, the proposed method was applied to the Mosha fault seismic scenario (7.4 Mw) in Tehran, Iran. The results indicated that 200,300 people may lose their lives in that seismic scenario. Additionally, the number of injuries with severity 1 and severity 2 are estimated to be about 420,600 and 232,980, respectively.
