Major Earthquakes are Inevitable in Indiana’s Future

The earthquake that occurred across the Midwest on June 18 unstably reminds us that there is a possibility that an earthquake may occur everywhere. According to Indianapolis Star, the epicenter of the epicenter of Evansville was felt in the state of Indiana and most of the surrounding provinces. This earthquake was not the biggest earthquake in the history of the Midwest, but only the magnitude 0 earthquake caused not much damage. However, this is the awakening of those who did not notice the warning that there was the possibility of the occurrence of a larger and devastating earthquake in the past.

The 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake ended the decades of calm in the Bay Area in San Francisco. This is a call for awakening to prepare for unavoidable possibilities and more serious future impacts. Since 1989, the activities of the US Geological Survey and other organizations have provided a more effective strategy to raise awareness of earthquake threats in the Gulf region, increase awareness of earthquake risks, and reduce earthquake losses It was. These efforts will help reduce the impact of future major earthquakes in the San Francisco Bay Area. Robert Page, American Geological Survey

Vibration usually lasts only a few seconds, but some earthquakes may last for several minutes.

There were many big earthquakes in the bay. With all major earthquakes, death is a direct result of building design and seismic safety law.
