Hole-filled SRTM for the globe Version 4, available from the CGIAR-CSI SRTM 90m Database (http://srtm.csi.cgiar.org). The total estimated cost of infrastructure damage is around 85 million Philippine pesos (~$1.5 million USD). In Ilocos Norte, the province located to the north of Abra, particularly in the towns of Marcos, Banna, Solsona, Batac and the city of Laoag, some residents reported that the magnitude-6.4 event in October generated stronger ground shaking (higher intensity) than the magnitude-7.0 event in July. Though the calculated fault orientations from the two earthquakes are similar (compressional, thrust pair), the aftershock configurations are distinctly different, suggesting a fault geometry that curves to the right and steepens as it extends northward. The most recent epicenter was located only about 18 kilometers (11 miles) from where the July earthquake struck.

“That foundation of preparation helps us not only respond better, but deter the cascading effects of a bigger disaster.” “As time goes on, they spread out, and we can get the signature of those primary waves first,” Havniear said. “It was mostly quiet.” “Think about what you would do if you had 20 to 30 seconds to find the best place that you’ve already checked out, have the students not in such a panic and adult teachers to guide them through a process of protective action.” “It’s not a question of if this going to happen, but when,” Champion said Tuesday. “Safety and security is one of our core values that we have invested in,” said Bret Champion, superintendent of the Medford School District, before noting the unique investment in ShakeAlert. A 2013 report from Oregon Seismic Safety Policy Advisory Commission found the state is “simply not prepared for such an event,” which would lead to economic losses of at least $32 billion. ShakeAlert utilizes 1,400 seismic sensors placed along California, Oregon and Washington that monitor energy release within the earth. A Cascadia Subduction Zone earthquake that occurred in 1700 was estimated at 8.7 to 9.2. It’s a big job. Providence Medford Medical Center and the city of Grants Pass Water Division are the only other entities in the Rogue Valley that share this distinction, school district officials said Tuesday. “Earthquake!

National Institute for Seismology does not expect any aftershocks nor damage.

Several people were killed after a 7.0 magnitude earthquake in the mountainous province of Abra in July. In 1990, a magnitude 7.8 earthquake in the northern Philippines created a ground rupture stretching more than 100km. More than 20 people were injured after a 6.4 magnitude quake struck the north of the country in October.

Similar safety procedures were reportedly conducted at the Senate. The epicenter was detected at Tinaga Island in the province of Camarines Norte. A number of offices, including government entities, in the Philippines' capital Manila were evacuated on Wednesday as a magnitude 5.3 earthquake hit the city, according to local reports.

“And may I say that perhaps it’s also appropriate to consider typhoon preparedness as part of the plan. “In our latest meeting there was discussion on making the country more prepared and making Metro Manila also more prepared because there have been studies on the need for earthquake preparedness,” he said. “The government is doing all that it can to be prepared for this type of earthquake and other disasters,” Climate Change Commission vice chairperson Robert Borje said in a chance interview with reporters following the quake.

Jakarta, Indonesia — A 5.8 magnitude earthquake hit Indonesia’s main island of Java on Thursday, the United States Geological Survey said, less than a month after another quake in the same province killed more than 300 people.

Previous quake in the same province on the island triggered landslides and collapsed build.

It said there was a low likelihood of casualties or damage following the quake, which struck at a depth of 123 kilometres (76 miles). The quake struck at 07:50 am local time (0050 GMT) around 15 kilometres from the town of Cianjur, the USGS said. That tremor was the deadliest in the archipelago nation since a 2018 quake and resulting tsunami killed more than 4,000 people on the island of Sulawesi.
