Study Warned of China Quake Risk Nearly a Year Ago

Posted by Matt in May 18th, 2008

Just ten months before a deadly earthquake struck Sichuan Province’s Beichuan county on May 12, a scientific study warned that the Chinese region was ripe for a major quake.

“The faults are sufficiently long to sustain a strong ground-shaking earthquake, making them potentially serious sources of regional seismic hazard,” the Chinese, European, and U.S. geoscientists wrote in the mid-July 2007 edition of the journal Tectonics.

China earthquake response, faster than US Katrina response!
More comparison between China earthquake and US Katrina hurricane responses: Why do the media constantly compare the rescue and relief operations between China and Myanmar? Let's compare China with the US: In China, an earthquake that registered 8.0 struck with no warning. The Premier was on the plane to the disaster centre 90 minutes later to co-ordinate the rescue and relief effort; local, provincial and national and military authorities immediately ordered an all-out rescuing effort, no arguments, no buck passing. Airports and buildings were evacuated in little over 30 minutes and police and emergency workers swung into action at about the same time. Soldiers poured into the diaster sites by planes, trucks and, where the roads were damaged, by walking for hours. Victims helped...

Portable Earthquake Warning System : diginfonews
Portable Earthquake Warning System Highway Industry Development Organization HIDO The Highway Industry Development Organization (HIDO) is moving ahead with the development of an emergency earthquake bulletin system for highways and highway construction sites as well as the development of an operations manual for road construction workers and other related personnel. HIDO has developed a "Portable Earthquake Warning System" designed to eliminate the loss of time, which is an existing problem in the current emergency system. In addition, the portable warning system is designed to ensure the safety of construction personnel working in disaster sites where there are aftershock concerns, and for construction teams changing locations. The portable warning system is easy to carry and set up...

One week after the big earthquake in Sichuan there was a government issued warning that another big earthquake might hit Chengdu. The entire earthquake weary population grabbed their pillows and blankets and either fled the city to go to a safer place or simply left their homes to sleep outside. This is footage taken in Chengdu as we were walking to find a place to sleep at a soccer field on a nearby university campus.

Early Earthquake Warning?
Hours or days of warning. At best, it means time for an orderly evacuation of entire cities before a major earthquake. At worst, it means enough time to stage emergency workers and repair crews before the temblor hits. Researchers may have figured out how to tell when a major earthquake is about to occur. But what will it take to turn this idea into a widespread warning system?
