    • Conspiracy theories are not permitted. We do not allow conspiracy theories, as they are inherently unproven by published, peer-reviewed research. We are a fact-based subreddit. If science can't back it up, don't post it.
    • No mention of Dutchsinse or links to his content. We do not allow Dutchsinse content here. He is a fear-mongering conspiracy theorist and pseudoscientist whose "methods" have little basis in fact. Earthquakes cannot currently be predicted by anyone.
    • No all-caps titles. We've noticed that posts of this type tend to be sensationalist and/or spam. Posts will be removed - repost non-spam content with normal capitalization and no sensationalism.

    How is Japan preparing for the Nankai Earthquake and Fuji eruption?

    Japan is taking significant steps to prepare for the looming threats of the Nankai Earthquake and a potential eruption of Mount Fuji. The government has implemented advanced early warning systems, designed to detect seismic activity and volcanic eruptions in real time, providing crucial time for evacuation. Additionally, Japan has reinforced its infrastructure to withstand these natural disasters, with buildings and transportation systems built to resist seismic shocks. Public education and community involvement are central to disaster preparedness, ensuring that citizens are well-informed and ready to act. These efforts are vital in minimizing the potential impact of these devastating events. Learn more about Japan's disaster preparedness efforts in detail by visiting Preparing for Nankai Earthquake and Fuji Eruption.

    How did I miss the M4.5 event in southern Texas near San Antonio?!

    Well, southern Central Texas at least.

    Jeez... Never even got that alert either.

    North Eastern Texas normally sees the seismicity. But this is about 50 miles or so outside San Antonio.

    Earthquake motion data - Angola / Africa

    Hello,

    We are currently designing an earth dam in southern Angola by verifying its cross section using pseudo-dynamic analysis with Quake/W model. To do this, we need representative peak ground acceleration with time records from nearby earthquakes to apply in our model.

    We have searched online on websites such as USGS and ISC, but we found the pages to be quite confusing. Could anyone provide a direct link or suggest reliable sources for obtaining this information?

    Thank you
