Green Earthquake Alert Japan

Summary

On 11/17/2005 10:06:11 PM UTC an earthquake of magnitude 4.5 has struck the unpopulated region of Southeast Of Honshu, Japan in Japan.

Whether international humanitarian aid is needed must be decided by an expert. However, the following automatically calculated elements can help. This earthquake has potentially a low humanitarian impact and the affected region has low vulnerability to natural disasters.

Earthquake Event

Characteristics

Source: European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) M
Magnitude: 4.5 M
Depth: 46 km

The population in the area of this earthquake if 0 people/km².

The earthquake occurred at 7h local time. At this time a day, more people are at work and therefore more vulnerable to collapsing office buildings. During traffic hours, people can be affected by collapsing bridges and other road infrastructure.

Resilience and Vulnerability

Resilience is the capacity of the population to cope with a hazard. Since much of investments in earthquake preparedness and available funds for quick response is related to household income, the GDP per capita can be used as a rough indicator of resilience.

Japan has a GDP per capita of 42317 PPP$ (Parity Purchasing Power Dollar, about 1 Euro) and is therefore part of the high level income countries. Therefore, the earthquake happened in an area of high resilience.

Based on the combination of 9 indicators, ECHO attributes Japan a low vulnerability.

Secondary effects

Probability of secondary effects:

Landslides: The maximum slope in the area of the earthquake is 0% and the maximum altitude is 0 m. Since this is a low slope, the risk of earthquake induced landslides is low. Note, however, that the slope data is not reliable on a local scale, while landslides depend very much on local topography, soil and meteorological conditions.
Nuclear power plants: The following nuclear installations are near the epicenter: FUKUSHIMA-DAIICHI (471km), FUKUSHIMA-DAINI (460km), HAMAOKA (298km), KASHIWAZAKI KARIWA (515km), TOKAI (366km)
Tsunami: JRC is currently not modelling probability of tsunami generation. Please refer to NOAA's tsunami alert system for information on tsunamis in the Pacific Ocean: http://tsunami.gov/. However, for earthquakes in the ocean and with magnitude larger than 6.5, the propagation of a potential tsunami is modelled below.

The magnitude is too low for tsunami generation.

Source ECHO Key: Bad - Medium - Good - No data

Indonesia has a GDP per capita of 961 PPP$ (Parity Purchasing Power Dollar, about 1 Euro) and is therefore part of the low level income countries. Therefore, the earthquake happened in an area of low resilience.

Based on the combination of 9 indicators, ECHO attributes Indonesia a high vulnerability.

Secondary effects

Probability of secondary effects:

Landslides: The maximum slope in the area of the earthquake is 53.268% and the maximum altitude is 3631 m. Since this is a medium slope, the risk of earthquake induced landslides is medium. Note, however, that the slope data is not reliable on a local scale, while landslides depend very much on local topography, soil and meteorological conditions.
Nuclear power plants: There are no nuclear facilities nearby the epicenter.
Tsunami: JRC is currently not modelling probability of tsunami generation. Please refer to NOAA's tsunami alert system for information on tsunamis in the Pacific Ocean: http://tsunami.gov/. However, for earthquakes in the ocean and with magnitude larger than 6.5, the propagation of a potential tsunami is modelled below.

The magnitude is too low for tsunami generation.

Secondary Effects

Landslides: The maximum slope in the area of the earthquake is 79.34% and the maximum altitude is 6516 m. Since this is a high slope, the risk of earthquake induced landslides is high.
Note, however, that the slope data is not reliable on a local scale, while landslides depend very much on local topography, soil and meteorological conditions.

Tsunami: JRC is currently not modelling probability of tsunami generation. Please refer to NOAA's tsunami alert system for information on tsunamis in the Pacific Ocean: http://tsunami.gov/. However, for earthquakes in the ocean and with magnitude larger than 6.5, the propagation of a potential tsunami is modelled below.

Azerbaijan has a GDP per capita of 459 PPP$ (Parity Purchasing Power Dollar, about 1 Euro) and is therefore part of the low level income countries. Therefore, the earthquake happened in an area of low resilience.

Based on the combination of 9 indicators, ECHO attributes Azerbaijan a medium vulnerability.

Secondary effects

Probability of secondary effects:

Landslides: The maximum slope in the area of the earthquake is 50.761% and the maximum altitude is 3509 m. Since this is a medium slope, the risk of earthquake induced landslides is medium.

Probability of secondary effects:

Landslides: The maximum slope in the area of the earthquake is 42.547% and the maximum altitude is 1759 m. Since this is a medium slope, the risk of earthquake induced landslides is medium. Note, however, that the slope data is not reliable on a local scale, while landslides depend very much on local topography, soil and meteorological conditions.
Nuclear power plants: There are no nuclear facilities nearby the epicenter.
Tsunami: JRC is currently not modelling probability of tsunami generation. Please refer to NOAA's tsunami alert system for information on tsunamis in the Pacific Ocean: http://tsunami.gov/. However, for earthquakes in the ocean and with magnitude larger than 6.5, the propagation of a potential tsunami is modelled below.

United States has a GDP per capita of 30845 PPP$ (Parity Purchasing Power Dollar, about 1 Euro) and is therefore part of the high level income countries. Therefore, the earthquake happened in an area of high resilience.

Based on the combination of 9 indicators, ECHO attributes United States a low vulnerability.

Secondary effects

Probability of secondary effects:

Landslides: The maximum slope in the area of the earthquake is 53.264% and the maximum altitude is 1752 m. Since this is a medium slope, the risk of earthquake induced landslides is medium. Note, however, that the slope data is not reliable on a local scale, while landslides depend very much on local topography, soil and meteorological conditions.
Nuclear power plants: There are no nuclear facilities nearby the epicenter.
Tsunami: JRC is currently not modelling probability of tsunami generation. Please refer to NOAA's tsunami alert system for information on tsunamis in the Pacific Ocean: http://tsunami.gov/. However, for earthquakes in the ocean and with magnitude larger than 6.5, the propagation of a potential tsunami is modelled below.

The magnitude is too low for tsunami generation.

Secondary Effects

Landslides: The maximum slope in the area of the earthquake is 33.03% and the maximum altitude is 510 m. Since this is a medium slope, the risk of earthquake induced landslides is medium.
Note, however, that the slope data is not reliable on a local scale, while landslides depend very much on local topography, soil and meteorological conditions.

Tsunami: JRC is currently not modelling probability of tsunami generation. Please refer to NOAA's tsunami alert system for information on tsunamis in the Pacific Ocean: http://tsunami.gov/. However, for earthquakes in the ocean and with magnitude larger than 6.5, the propagation of a potential tsunami is modelled below.

Tsunami: JRC is currently not modelling probability of tsunami generation. Please refer to NOAA's tsunami alert system for information on tsunamis in the Pacific Ocean: http://tsunami.gov/. However, for earthquakes in the ocean and with magnitude larger than 6.5, the propagation of a potential tsunami is modelled below.

Source ECHO Key: Bad - Medium - Good - No data

Nicaragua has a GDP per capita of 471 PPP$ (Parity Purchasing Power Dollar, about 1 Euro) and is therefore part of the low level income countries. Therefore, the earthquake happened in an area of low resilience.

Based on the combination of 9 indicators, ECHO attributes Nicaragua a medium vulnerability.

Secondary effects

Probability of secondary effects:

Landslides: The maximum slope in the area of the earthquake is 8.987% and the maximum altitude is 278 m. Since this is a low slope, the risk of earthquake induced landslides is low. Note, however, that the slope data is not reliable on a local scale, while landslides depend very much on local topography, soil and meteorological conditions.
Nuclear power plants: There are no nuclear facilities nearby the epicenter.
Tsunami: JRC is currently not modelling probability of tsunami generation. Please refer to NOAA's tsunami alert system for information on tsunamis in the Pacific Ocean: http://tsunami.gov/. However, for earthquakes in the ocean and with magnitude larger than 6.5, the propagation of a potential tsunami is modelled below.

The magnitude is too low for tsunami generation.

Resilience and Vulnerability

Based on the combination of 9 indicators, ECHO attributes Japan a low vulnerability.

Secondary effects

Probability of secondary effects:

Landslides: The maximum slope in the area of the earthquake is 0% and the maximum altitude is 0 m. Since this is a low slope, the risk of earthquake induced landslides is low. Note, however, that the slope data is not reliable on a local scale, while landslides depend very much on local topography, soil and meteorological conditions.
Nuclear power plants: The following nuclear installations are near the epicenter: FUKUSHIMA-DAIICHI (345km), FUKUSHIMA-DAINI (348km), HIGASHI DORI (462km), ONAGAWA (294km), TOKAI (418km)
Tsunami: JRC is currently not modelling probability of tsunami generation. Please refer to NOAA's tsunami alert system for information on tsunamis in the Pacific Ocean: http://tsunami.gov/. However, for earthquakes in the ocean and with magnitude larger than 6.5, the propagation of a potential tsunami is modelled below.

The magnitude is too low for tsunami generation.

The population in the area of this earthquake if 0 people/km².

The earthquake occurred at 10h local time. At this time a day, more people are at work and therefore more vulnerable to collapsing office buildings. During traffic hours, people can be affected by collapsing bridges and other road infrastructure.

Resilience and Vulnerability

United Kingdom has a GDP per capita of 21068 PPP$ (Parity Purchasing Power Dollar, about 1 Euro) and is therefore part of the high level income countries. Therefore, the earthquake happened in an area of high resilience.

Based on the combination of 9 indicators, ECHO attributes United Kingdom a low vulnerability.

Secondary effects

Probability of secondary effects:

Landslides: The maximum slope in the area of the earthquake is 9.618% and the maximum altitude is 604 m. Since this is a low slope, the risk of earthquake induced landslides is low. Note, however, that the slope data is not reliable on a local scale, while landslides depend very much on local topography, soil and meteorological conditions.
Nuclear power plants: The following nuclear installations are near the epicenter: MONTS D'ARREE (164km), FLAMANVILLE (155km), BERKELEY (232km), HINKLEY POINT (165km), OLDBURY (227km), WINFRITH (156km)
Tsunami: JRC is currently not modelling probability of tsunami generation. Please refer to NOAA's tsunami alert system for information on tsunamis in the Pacific Ocean: http://tsunami.gov/. However, for earthquakes in the ocean and with magnitude larger than 6.5, the propagation of a potential tsunami is modelled below.

The magnitude is too low for tsunami generation.

Argentina has a GDP per capita of 8099 PPP$ (Parity Purchasing Power Dollar, about 1 Euro) and is therefore part of the medium level income countries. Therefore, the earthquake happened in an area of medium resilience.

Based on the combination of 9 indicators, ECHO attributes Argentina a low vulnerability.

Secondary effects

Probability of secondary effects:

Landslides: The maximum slope in the area of the earthquake is 1.785% and the maximum altitude is 162 m. Since this is a low slope, the risk of earthquake induced landslides is low. Note, however, that the slope data is not reliable on a local scale, while landslides depend very much on local topography, soil and meteorological conditions.
Nuclear power plants: The following nuclear installations are near the epicenter: EMBALSE (453km)
Tsunami: JRC is currently not modelling probability of tsunami generation. Please refer to NOAA's tsunami alert system for information on tsunamis in the Pacific Ocean: http://tsunami.gov/. However, for earthquakes in the ocean and with magnitude larger than 6.5, the propagation of a potential tsunami is modelled below.

The earthquake did not happen in an ocean basin.

The population in the area of this earthquake if 0 people/km².

The earthquake occurred at 5h local time. At this time a day, more people are at home and therefore more vulnerable to collapsing residential buildings. During traffic hours, people can be affected by collapsing bridges and other road infrastructure.

Resilience and Vulnerability

Based on the combination of 9 indicators, ECHO attributes United States a low vulnerability.

Secondary effects

Probability of secondary effects:

Landslides: The maximum slope in the area of the earthquake is 34.981% and the maximum altitude is 975 m. Since this is a medium slope, the risk of earthquake induced landslides is medium. Note, however, that the slope data is not reliable on a local scale, while landslides depend very much on local topography, soil and meteorological conditions.
Nuclear power plants: There are no nuclear facilities nearby the epicenter.
Tsunami: JRC is currently not modelling probability of tsunami generation. Please refer to NOAA's tsunami alert system for information on tsunamis in the Pacific Ocean: http://tsunami.gov/. However, for earthquakes in the ocean and with magnitude larger than 6.5, the propagation of a potential tsunami is modelled below.

The magnitude is too low for tsunami generation.

Resilience and Vulnerability

Based on the combination of 9 indicators, ECHO attributes Japan a low vulnerability.

Secondary effects

Probability of secondary effects:

Landslides: The maximum slope in the area of the earthquake is 22.888% and the maximum altitude is 747 m. Since this is a low slope, the risk of earthquake induced landslides is low. Note, however, that the slope data is not reliable on a local scale, while landslides depend very much on local topography, soil and meteorological conditions.
Nuclear power plants: The following nuclear installations are near the epicenter: FUKUSHIMA-DAIICHI (102km), FUKUSHIMA-DAINI (111km), HIGASHI DORI (348km), KASHIWAZAKI KARIWA (288km), ONAGAWA (34km), TOKAI (212km)
Tsunami: JRC is currently not modelling probability of tsunami generation. Please refer to NOAA's tsunami alert system for information on tsunamis in the Pacific Ocean: http://tsunami.gov/. However, for earthquakes in the ocean and with magnitude larger than 6.5, the propagation of a potential tsunami is modelled below.

The magnitude is too low for tsunami generation.

GDACS earthquake alert faxes

Wed, 16 Nov 2005 12:31:50 GMT

Tom, Thanks for setting this up. I think we should try this for some time here in the MIC. The content of the alert message looks fine although the colours of the map might become a problem, as it comes out fromthe fax in low resolution black and white. Regarding the alert levels, we would not want green alerts as this would likely jam the system. Orange and red alerts would be ok. Let´s test it for, say two weeks with the MIC fax. The number is 0032 2 2986404. I´ll inform my colleagues accordingly. When it works properly we will involve our colleageus from the Bureau de Sécurité at the appropriate moment. Most likely, we will ask them to contact us only in case there is a red alert. I noted that the fax you sent with this message used the EMSC as a source. As we receive their faxes as well we would be interested in the level of cooperation your have with them, in particular whether the two services can be combined at some stage. Concerning the SMS messages, you will remember that some time ago we asked you to add the number of our duty phone 0032 498 980 300 for red alerts. I have not seen any messages on the duty phone although I got regular alerts on my private mobile phone. I was wondering if there is any problem with the transmission. May be we can find some time this week to test all this. Best regards Peter -----Original Message----- From: Tom De Groeve [mailto:tom.de-groeve@jrc.it] Sent: Wednesday, November 16, 2005 11:07 AM To: BILLING Peter (ENV) Cc: ANNUNZIATO Alessandro (JRC); JACOBSON Martin (JRC); VERNACCINI Luca (JRC-EXT) Subject: GDACS faxes Dear Peter, We have implemented the fax alert for GDACS. It is now possible to receive by fax a document similar to the one attached. If you want to test this service for a while, we can send them to a number in the MIC, for the alert level you want (Green sends about 20 faxes per day). When you feel this meets your needs, we can then register the fax of Directoire de Securite (?) as you requested. Best regards, Tom De Groeve tom.de-groeve@jrc.it +39-0332-786340
