Earthquake Safety Week 2017 from 15-21 January 2017
Bihar State Disaster Management Authority has announced Earthquake Safety Week.
Bihar is located in the high seismic zone that falls on the boundary of the tectonic plate joining the Himalayan tectonic plate near the Bihar-Nepal Border and has six sub-surface fault lines moving towards the Gangetic planes in four directions. Of the 38 districts of Bihar, 8 districts fall in seismic zone V of which 2 districts (Madhubani and Supaul) fall entirely in seismic zone V while 24 districts fall in seismic zone IV and 6 districts in seismic zone III with most districts falling under multiple seismic zones (i.e. either seismic zone V & IV or seismic zone IV & III). The state has in the past experienced major earthquakes; the worst was the 1934 earthquake in which more than 10,000 people lost their lives, followed by 1988 earthquake and recent earthquake was the Sikkim earthquake in September 2011.
The new and growing urban centres in the state where building codes and control mechanisms are not enforced, earthquake remains a major threat to cities. This could result in social infrastructures such as schools and hospitals that are not built to be earthquake resistant could lead to serve damage and loss of lives as well.

An earthquake is caused by the sudden displacement of rock in the Earth's crust due to crustal strain, volcanoes, landslides, or collapsing caverns. Earthquakes can cause ground shaking, landslides, fires, soil liquefaction, tsunamis, floods, and damage human infrastructure. Soil liquefaction occurs when saturated granular soils like silty sands or sandy gravels lose strength during an earthquake or sudden stress change and behave like liquid, which can damage buildings and cause them to sink or tilt.
Soil liquefaction occurs when loose, saturated sediments lose strength and behave like a liquid rather than a solid due to increased pore water pressure during periods of intensive ground shaking, such as during earthquakes. Liquefaction can cause major damage to buildings and structures. It is most common in loose, saturated, poorly drained soils like sands and gravels.

A landslide occurred in Malin village in India's Pune district in July 2014, killing at least 151 people. The landslide was believed to be caused by heavy rainfall and hit while residents were sleeping. A government scheme to level hill slopes for cultivation had resulted in widespread deforestation, loosening the soil and making the area prone to landslides when rains came. Rescue efforts were hampered by continued rains and poor road access.
Base isolation topic as per jntu syllabus for m.tech 1st year structuresvaignan
Base isolation is a seismic protection system that places flexible bearings between a structure and its foundation. During an earthquake, the bearings allow the structure to move independently from the shaking ground, isolating it from seismic forces. Common base isolation bearings include elastomeric bearings and lead-rubber bearings, which are stiff vertically but flexible horizontally. Base isolation is effective because it lengthens a structure's period of vibration, reducing the accelerations and forces experienced, and protects both the structure and its contents from earthquake damage.

An earthquake is caused by the sudden release of built-up stress below the earth's surface, causing the ground to shake. During an earthquake, it is important to stay safe by ducking under sturdy furniture, staying away from windows and tall objects that could fall, and remaining indoors until the shaking stops. Aftershocks, which are smaller quakes after the main one, can continue for hours, days or even months and cause further damage. After an earthquake, check for structural damage but do not enter damaged buildings. Turn off utilities if advised and help give first aid to injured people.
Earthquakes are caused by the movement of tectonic plates underneath the Earth's surface. When the plates shift with great force, they release stress and energy in the form of seismic waves that cause the shaking we feel. To prepare for earthquakes, structures should be evaluated for safety and retrofitted if needed. During shaking, people inside should duck and cover underneath sturdy furniture, while those outside should move to an open area away from buildings and power lines. Aftershaking stops, evacuation should be orderly and help given to others to reduce casualties from potential damage or aftershocks. Earthquake drills help practice safe response procedures.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
