The Earthquake Engineering Research Institute (EERI) is a nonprofit multi-disciplinary technical society of experts dedicated to reducing earthquake risk by (1) advancing the science and practice of earthquake engineering, (2) improving understanding of the impact of earthquakes on the physical, social, economic, political, and cultural environment, and (3) advocating comprehensive and realistic measures for reducing the harmful effects of earthquakes. EERI members include engineers, geoscientists, architects, planners, emergency managers, public officials, and social scientists, who are researchers, practicing professionals, educators, and government officials. Our 3,000 members are organized into volunteer committees, projects, and both regional and student chapters that conduct activities to achieve our mission. The Institute was established in 1948.
We in the west coast of California are prone to this and I can imagine if we have a 9.5 and above earthquake here off our coast and it happens at night...We would be talking about millions of deaths here. The ocean would intrude into the central valley of California due to low elevations in the San Joaquin delta areas due to sea levels are 20 feet and below. I dread the thought of the ocean coming ashore to Stockton California and up to Sacramento due to sea levels less than 100 feet when waves like that can reach 150 feet or more.
48::44 seconds in , man filmed walking as second wave is inbound but dissapeared before wave arrived or before the water level was anywhere near him, WTF? Please someone tell me where he could have gone, i dont see a safe place for him to hide from the second tsunami wave, where is he?
im just wondering why...some of them are still happy...they are laughing instead they have to pray....this is what i observe...they dont pray..i never heard them to speak or try to feel s presence of GOD ALMIGHTY....some the other countries admired japanese people...im sory to say this but i dont admired them base on what i heard and observe with them...
Omg I read a book about this tsunami and wow to see this video is more scary. I am so sad. To all that have lost Their life I never could be one of those boat captains. They’re so brave.
ВОТ ВАМ ИСПЫТАНИЯ- ПОСЕИДОНА. ТЕПЕРЬ ПОНИМАЕТЕ НА СКОЛЬКО ЭТА БОМБА СТРАШНА.? В 2004- ОМ ТОЖЕ БЫЛИ ИСПЫТАНИЯ, НО ЖАЛЬ ЧТО ТАМ НЕ ЗДОХ БЫВШИЙ КАНЦЛЕР - КОЛЛЬ☝️
Я не понимал этих деб..в, которые плыли на яхтах или как их там называют, рыболовные суда, ну короче- они слышали серену, им говорили в рупар о цунами но они плыли в море. А потом о столько погибших,ужасно 🤦♂️😡
What made me watch this was hearing about the Earthquake in Taiwan and that there was possibly a tsunami warning and everything! And watching this devastation just breaks my heart all over again! This is more devastating than watching all the tornadoes hit combined, I'm not saying tornadoes aren't heartbreaking to see but this is so much more on a larger scale!
