Aftermath of earthquake in Haiti is ‘much worse’ than 2010 earthquake says Ann Young Lee
Aug 19, 2021
The CEO of CORE said the destruction left by the recent 7.2-magnitude quake is made more difficult by covid, political unrest in the country and widespread food insecurity. “It really recalls [the earthquake] 2010 in a lot of ways but in so many more ways it’s much worse. Just the fact that we are seeing an incredible amount of destruction in homes and people that are still trapped under the rubble. To layer on top of that, the insecurity that’s making it difficult for the humanitarian assistance to get in, along with the huge amount of food insecurity that’s been happening that last few years.”


LOL..😂

VANCOUVER -- A team of researchers have found new evidence of another seismic risk for Japan, with possible implications for parts of B.C.

In 2011, eastern Japan was hit with the fourth-most-powerful earthquake ever recorded. The quake triggered a nuclear disaster, as well as a massive tsunami.

For the past decade, the research team – led by Simon Fraser University earth scientist and tier II Canada research chair in natural hazards Jessica Pilarczyk – has been looking deeper into Japan’s geological history.
