ประกาศข่าวแผ่นดินไหว(&การคาดการณ์)

อ๋อ....ของเมืองไทยไม่มีรายงานจ้า
ปกติต้องคอยเปิดดูเวบของกรมอุตุเอาเอง

แต่อันหลังท่าจะไม่ทำงานมาสักพักแล้ว

คือ USGS ไม่ได้วางเครื่องมือในประเทศแถบนี้แหล่ะ :boo:

 

วันนี้มันไปสั่นแถวแคลิฟอร์เนียร์ อาคันซอ อาลสก้า เม็กซิโก อะไรแถวนัั้นอ่ะ

Tsunami Event

It is likely that a tsunami was generated. Based on precalculated scenarios, the maximum tsunami wave height near the coast of Kyuchu will be 0.74m.
A detailed tsunami wave height calculation is ongoing and should be available 20 minutes after this report was created. Results can be slightly different than the precalculated scenario. The outcome can be checked here: GDACS tsunami report .

The earthquake occurred at 17h local time. At this time a day, more people are at work and therefore more vulnerable to collapsing office buildings. During traffic hours, people can be affected by collapsing bridges and other road infrastructure.
Resilience and Vulnerability

Resilience is the capacity of the population to cope with a hazard. Since much of investments in earthquake preparedness and available funds for quick response is related to household income, the GDP per capita can be used as a rough indicator of resilience.
Japan has a GDP per capita of 42317 PPP$ (Parity Purchasing Power Dollar, about 1 Euro) and is therefore part of the high level income countries. Therefore, the earthquake happened in an area of high resilience.
Based on the combination of 9 indicators, ECHO attributes Japan a low vulnerability.
Secondary effects

Probability of secondary effects:

• Landslides: The maximum slope in the area of the earthquake is 32.845% and the maximum altitude is 1803 m. Since this is a medium slope, the risk of earthquake induced landslides is medium. Note, however, that the slope data is not reliable on a local scale, while landslides depend very much on local topography, soil and meteorological conditions.
• Nuclear power plants: The following nuclear installations are near the epicenter: (62km), FUKUSHIMA-DAINI (52km), KASHIWAZAKI KARIWA (198km), ONAGAWA (179km), TOKAI (51km)
• Hydrodams: The following hydrodam installations are near the epicenter: Tadami (132km)

Structure Information Summary

Overall, the population in this region resides in structures that are resistant to earthquake shaking, though some vulnerable structures exist. The predominant vulnerable building types are heavy wood frame and low-rise concrete wall construction.

Event: Earthquake
Location: Japan Prefecture of Ishikawa About 11 kilometres South East from Ishikawa City

Situation: A magnitude 7.1 earthquake rattled the northeastern coast of Japan Monday evening, the U.S. Geological Survey reported. Japan's Meteorological Agency issued a tsunami warning, predicting a potential wave of two-meters in Miyagi, Fukushima and Chiba and Ibaraki prefectures. The quake was centered about 164 kilometers (101 miles) northeast of Tokyo, according to the USGS. Residents in Tokyo felt the jolts. Workers at the crippled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant were asked to evacuate.
