Case Study: Earthquakes
Case Study: Nepal. Nepal is one of the poorest countries in the world with a Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per capita of under $1000 in 2015. Located between China and India, Nepal is a landlocked country. In 2015, 80% of the population lived in rural, often remote, communities. In April 2015 at 11.26 a.m., Nepal was struck by an earthquake of ...

has experienced severe earthquakes in the past, including several megathrust earthquakes. The 1964 earthquake, with a magnitude of 9.2, was the largest earthquake in American history and the second largest to ever be recorded anywhere in the world. Though earthquakes are common in Alaska, they often occur out at sea.
Learning from Megadisasters: A Decade of Lessons from the Great East
Introduction: The Triple Disaster, Response and Recovery. On March 11th, 2011 a Magnitude 9.0 earthquake struck off the northeast coast of Japan, near the Tohoku region. The force of the earthquake sent a tsunami rushing towards the Tohoku coastline, a black wall of water which wiped away entire towns and villages.

Nepal Earthquake Case Studies
Most will refer to this as an earthquake, singular. But this is no singular disaster. The country has experienced more than 300 seismic events since April 25, 2015, and nearly 9000 people died as a direct result of the two most major earthquakes. For most of Nepal's approximately 30 million people, living uncertainty is old hat.

3.9: Case Studies
Alaska (1964) —The 1964 Alaska earthquake, moment magnitude 9.2, was one of the most powerful earthquakes ever recorded. The earthquake originated in a megathrust fault along the Aleutian subduction zone. The earthquake caused large areas of land subsidence and uplift, as well as significant mass wasting.
Haiti Earthquake 2010
The earthquake occurred at 18.457°N, 72.533°W. The epicentre was near the town of Léogâne, Ouest department, approximately 25 kilometres (16 mi) west of Port-au-Prince, Haiti's capital. The earthquake's focus was 13km (8.1 miles) below the Earth's surface.
Lombok Indonesia Earthquake 2018 Case Study
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 Decade of Lessons Learned from the 2011 Tohoku-Oki Earthquake
The 2011 Mw 9.0 Tohoku-oki earthquake is one of the world's best-recorded ruptures. In the aftermath of this devastating event, it is important to learn from the complete record. We describe the state of knowledge of the megathrust earthquake generation process before the earthquake, and what has been learned in the decade since the historic event.
Nepal: An Earthquake Case Study Report
Within Nepal, more than 8,800 people died, 22,000 were injured and 100,000 displaced. The earthquake on April 25, 2015, pushed an additional 2.5 to 3.5 percent of the Nepalese population into poverty in 2015-16, the researchers wrote in their 36-page report that aims to improve the management of geohazards.
Bhuj Earthquake India 2001
Gujarat: an advanced state on the west coast of India. On 26 January 2001, an earthquake struck the Kutch district of Gujarat at 8.46 am. Epicentre 20 km North East of Bhuj, the headquarter of Kutch. The Indian Meteorological Department estimated the intensity of the earthquake at 6.9 Richter.
Earthquakes
Earthquakes. Since 1900, earthquakes in the United States have resulted in over 1300 deaths and direct damages totaling more than $51 billion. While the West Coast and Alaska have the highest risk, history shows that major earthquakes can also affect the Central and Eastern United States.
PDF Intensity Based Casualty Models: Case Study Of Bhuj and Latur
The Latur earthquake of 1993 (M6.2) occurred at 3.53 AM and killed 7,635 persons in 52 villages in the state of Maharashtra. This being a winter night time, most people were sleeping indoors at the time, which caused high casualty rates. Being a shallow focus earthquake, the affected area was rather small.
Earthquake
earthquake, any sudden shaking of the ground caused by the passage of seismic waves through Earth 's rocks. Seismic waves are produced when some form of energy stored in Earth's crust is suddenly released, usually when masses of rock straining against one another suddenly fracture and "slip.". Earthquakes occur most often along geologic ...
Illustrating the impact of earthquakes: Evidence-based and user
1. Introduction. Even though earthquakes cannot be precisely predicted, their potential consequences must not come as a surprise. In the last decades, seismic hazard and risk assessments have considerably improved [1] allowing to estimate the impact of earthquakes either in advance in terms of stochastic scenarios or shortly after the shaking in the form of rapid impact assessment.
2018 Sulawesi, Indonesia Earthquake and Tsunami Case Study
Overview. On Friday 28th September 2018 a magnitude 7.5 earthquake struck Palu, on the Indonesian island of Sulawesi, just before dusk wreaking havoc and destruction across the city and triggering a deadly tsunami on its coast. The 7.5 magnitude earthquake hit only six miles from the country's coast. A map to show the location of Palu.
