Green Earthquake Alert New Zealand

Summary

On 12/8/2005 5:32:16 AM UTC an earthquake of magnitude 5.9 has struck the unpopulated region of Kermadec Islands Region in New Zealand.

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.

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

The earthquake occurred at 17h 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.

New Zealand has a GDP per capita of 17210 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 New Zealand a low vulnerability.

Secondary effects

Probability of secondary effects:

Landslides: The maximum slope in the area of the earthquake is 21.479% and the maximum altitude is 466 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.

Democratic Republic of the Congo has a GDP per capita of 0 PPP$ (Parity Purchasing Power Dollar, about 1 Euro) and is therefore part of the unknown level income countries. Therefore, the earthquake happened in an area of unknown resilience.

Based on the combination of 9 indicators, ECHO attributes Democratic Republic of the Congo a high vulnerability.

Secondary effects

Probability of secondary effects:

Landslides: The maximum slope in the area of the earthquake is 61.026% and the maximum altitude is 2504 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.
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 earthquake did not happen in an ocean basin.

Secondary Effects

Landslides: The maximum slope in the area of the earthquake is 96.24% and the maximum altitude is 6947 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.

Landslides: The maximum slope in the area of the earthquake is 32.665% and the maximum altitude is 4148 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 67.74% and the maximum altitude is 2216 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.

Landslides: The maximum slope in the area of the earthquake is 24.507% and the maximum altitude is 1164 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 (305km), FUKUSHIMA-DAINI (315km), HIGASHI DORI (186km), ONAGAWA (189km), TOKAI (418km), TOMARI (389km)
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.

Secondary Effects

Landslides: The maximum slope in the area of the earthquake is 67.24% and the maximum altitude is 2689 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.

Probability of secondary effects:

Landslides: The maximum slope in the area of the earthquake is 67.245% and the maximum altitude is 2689 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.
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/.

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

Afghanistan has a GDP per capita of 0 PPP$ (Parity Purchasing Power Dollar, about 1 Euro) and is therefore part of the unknown level income countries. Therefore, the earthquake happened in an area of unknown resilience.

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

Secondary effects

Probability of secondary effects:

Landslides: The maximum slope in the area of the earthquake is 96.236% and the maximum altitude is 7422 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.
Nuclear power plants: The following nuclear installations are near the epicenter: CHASNUPP (415km)
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.

Based on the combination of 9 indicators, ECHO attributes Democratic Republic of the Congo a high vulnerability.

Secondary effects

Probability of secondary effects:

Landslides: The maximum slope in the area of the earthquake is 61.026% and the maximum altitude is 2504 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.
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 earthquake did not happen in an ocean basin.

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.

Based on the combination of 9 indicators, ECHO attributes Democratic Republic of the Congo a high vulnerability.

Secondary effects

Probability of secondary effects:

Landslides: The maximum slope in the area of the earthquake is 61.026% and the maximum altitude is 2504 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.
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.
