1960 VALDIVIA EARTHQUAKE, NAHLA CHETIBI
The 1960 Valdivia earthquake in Chile was the most powerful ever recorded at 9.5 magnitude. It lasted 10 minutes and triggered a tsunami that spanned the Pacific Ocean, affecting southern Chile, Hawaii, Japan, and others. Over 6,000 lives were lost and the city of Valdivia was most severely damaged. In addition to loss of life, the earthquake caused numerous landslides in the Andes mountains, tsunamis across the Pacific, seiches in lakes, floods from landslide-blocked rivers, and the eruption of the Cordón Caulle volcano two days later.
Presentation
The 1960 Valdivia earthquake in Chile was the largest ever recorded at a magnitude of 9.5. It caused widespread damage, leaving over 2 million homeless and killing an estimated 2,200-5,700 people. The earthquake was caused by the subduction of the Nazca plate under the South American plate. It generated a tsunami with waves as high as 82 feet and caused damage across the Pacific in countries like Japan. While earthquakes themselves cannot be prevented, preparations like building codes, emergency plans, and kits can help reduce risks to lives and property from such powerful seismic events.
Valdivia earthquake
The Valdivia earthquake occurred on May 22, 1960 near Cantante, Chile with an epicenter located in South America. It was the most powerful earthquake ever recorded at a magnitude of 9.5. The earthquake caused over 1,600 deaths and left millions homeless in Chile. It also generated a tsunami that traveled across the Pacific Ocean causing deaths and damage in Hawaii, Japan, the Philippines, and the western United States. The earthquake was caused by the release of stress between the subducting Nazca and South American tectonic plates with a relatively shallow focus of 33 km.

In response, President Rafael Correa declared a state of emergency and deployed over 10,000 military personnel and 3,500 police officers for recovery efforts.
The Indian tsunami warning system
The Indian tsunami warning system was created after the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami killed over 230,000 people in India. Before 2004, India did not have tools to monitor or warn people about potential tsunamis. In the five years after 2004, India established a network of seismograph centers, national warning centers, and coastal and deep-ocean stations to detect tsunamis and warn coastal communities. The system utilizes data from the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center in Hawaii and the Japan Meteorological Agency to inform agencies that notify people in threatened areas to evacuate.

Design and implementation of a fuzzy based tsunami warning system
Abstract A tsunami can be referred to series of water waves initiated by the dislocation of a large quantity of water, usually in ocean or a large lake. Tsunamis obliterate not only human population but all other species. There are many factors that have potential to cause a tsunami like Earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and other underwater explosions (including explosions of underwater nuclear devices), landslides, meteorite impacts and other disturbances above or below water. With the preface of modern science and computer technology, the field of Artificial Intelligence is screening a definite efficacy in all continuum of life. There are certain ways to predict such disasters and design different kinds of early warning systems. These can be predicted on the basis of climatic conditions and several other parameters. One such concept that is working as a boom in the fields of environmental science and policy is fuzzy logic. As fuzzy logic can be widely stated as working with the vague, imprecise data and the linguistic terms. So, this methodology can be successfully applied in the field of tsunami warning as the influence of different parameters that cause tsunami is different and can be said as vague. In this work, a fuzzy system has been developed to declare the occurrence of tsunami in terms of linguistic parameters rare_tsunami, advisory_tsunami and warning by taking the tsunami characteristics earthquake magnitude, volcanic eruption index, landslide and height of waves in deep ocean. Fuzzy rule base is generated and the results are compared with an IEEE research paper.

Tsunami warning system
This document summarizes a presentation about tsunami warning systems. It defines what a tsunami is, noting that it is a large wave created by undersea disturbances that can cause massive destruction. It then explains that the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami that killed 80,000 could have been less devastating if an effective warning system had been in place. Such a system uses detectors on the seafloor to detect disturbances, sends data to buoys at the surface which transmit to satellites and then ground stations, allowing for warnings. It also briefly describes how tsunamis propagate and grow in size as they reach shallow coastal waters.
The new zealand_earthquake
A 7.6 magnitude earthquake struck off the coast of the Kermadec Islands of New Zealand at a depth of 20 km. This prompted a tsunami warning for the Kermadec Islands, New Zealand, and Tonga. The first waves were expected to reach the Kermadec Islands within an hour, with wave heights of 60cm to 1 meter. New Zealand authorities warned people in coastal areas to evacuate to higher ground as first waves were projected to arrive around 8:52am, bringing potential damage. The earthquake was larger than expected and highlighted the region's lack of preparation for strong tsunamis.
What is ring_of_fire_
The Ring of Fire is an area in the Pacific Ocean that experiences frequent earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. It contains over 75% of the world's active and dormant volcanoes and is home to approximately 90% of the world's earthquakes. The Ring of Fire forms a path around the Pacific Ocean basin due to the subduction and collision of tectonic plates in the region. Countries like Japan that fall within the Ring of Fire are susceptible to volcanic and seismic activity.
Nuclear radiation effects
The document discusses the effects of radiation on health from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster. It explains that there are two types of radiation: non-ionizing and ionizing. Ionizing radiation is more dangerous and can cause cancer. Exposure to radiation can initially cause nausea, fatigue and vomiting, and higher exposures may lead to hair loss, diarrhea, destruction of the intestinal lining, and eventually death. Cesium-137 and iodine-131 are particularly dangerous isotopes released during nuclear accidents. The document concludes by noting the sievert measurement of radiation dose and the types of sickness that different doses can cause.
The tsunami warning_system
The Indian tsunami warning system was created after the devastating 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami. It is coordinated by the UN's International Oceanographic Commission and involves national warning centers and monitoring networks set up by individual countries over five years. The system analyzes data from seismic and sea level sensors to detect potential tsunamis. Warning information is shared between the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center in Hawaii, the Japan Meteorological Agency, and Regional Tsunami Watch Providers in Indian Ocean countries. The goal is to provide accurate and timely warnings to better protect lives.
Tsunami warning system in the Indian ocean
The 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami that killed 230,000 people showed the need for an early warning system. A network of seismic and ocean monitoring instruments was established across the Indian Ocean to detect tsunamis and warn communities. Data is transmitted to warning centers in Hawaii and Japan that monitor for earthquakes and issue watches. Regional agencies are working to establish their own watch provider systems, while a coordinated multi-hazard warning system called RIMES is scheduled to launch in 2012.
Tsunami warning system
This document discusses tsunamis and tsunami warning systems. It explains that tsunamis are caused by large displacements of water, often due to earthquakes, landslides, or volcanic eruptions. It then describes how tsunami warning systems work, including how the Meteorological Agency issues warnings within three minutes of an earthquake with estimates of tsunami arrival times and heights. However, it notes shortcomings in that actual tsunami heights and times may differ from forecasts. It suggests developing more accurate forecasts based on observed data while still issuing warnings that assume maximum tsunami scales.

Chile's earthquake in 2010
The 2010 Chile earthquake was an 8.8 magnitude quake that struck central Chile on February 27th, killing over 200 people. It caused significant damage to buildings, infrastructure, and communications across Chile. The large size of the quake also generated tsunamis that affected other countries in the Pacific, though damage was less severe outside of Chile. The earthquake was followed by hundreds of strong aftershocks over 6.0 magnitude.
Presentac..[1]
The 2010 Chile earthquake occurred off the coast of Chile on February 27, 2010, measuring 8.8 on the moment magnitude scale. It caused a devastating tsunami that hit coastal towns, and a blackout affected 93% of Chile's population for several days. Over 500 lives were lost due to collapsed and damaged buildings, and tens of thousands of homes were damaged. Strong aftershocks continued throughout the year, including some over magnitude 5.5.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdf
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

Massive earthquake in_chile
- 1. Massive earthquake in Chile s1180212 Taisuke Kasai
- 2. The outline of this earthquake ● In 27, February, 2010, a massive earthquake happened in Chile. ● Because of it, many people died, buildings, roads and bridges broke, and water and phone lines were cut off. ● And it caused tall tsunamis. They reached not only Chile and the surrounding area but also Hawaii, Tahiti and New Zealand. ● Earthquakes happened after the massive earthquake. The earthquakes less than the massive earthquake but they were strong shakes.
- 3. About the massive earthquake in Chile itself ● The massive earthquake in Chile registered a magnitude of 8.8 on the Richter scale. ● It struck at 06:34 GMT, 115km north-east of the city of Concepcion and 325km south-west of the capital Santiago. ● The massive earthquake caused not only the directly damage but also the big tsunami and the aftershock.
- 4. The tsunami caused by the earthquake ● The tsunami hit several Pacific countries, Hawaii, Tahiti, New Zealand, and so coastal areas. ● In French Polynesia waves were 6ft waves and washed down the some coastal areas. ● Hawai tsunami warning comes it after 1m (6ft) waves struck Hawaii. Fortunately, its damage is nothing.
- 5. About the things after the earthquake ● The only afthetshocks killed at least 13 people by several broken buildings' demolition debris and cars parking in them falling. ● A fire happened at a chemical plant in the outskirts of the capital. ● The damage to Santiago international airport's terminal caused close them for at learst 72 hours.
- 6. About the information of the earthquake at that time ● One of Chielan away 100km from epicicenter told Chillan television the shaking there lasted about two minute. ● Other resitdents of Chilean and Curico said comunications were down but running water was still available. ● In that time, Chile's information sources were not be able to be accessed.
- 7. About the US reaction against the earthquake ● President Barack Obama said the US had resources to help the Chilean goverment when it asked to help. ● The US Geological Suvey said the earthquake struck at a depth of about 35km, the lagest aftershock in eight is 6.9 magnitude at 08:01 GMT, and tsunami effects were in Valparaiso, west of Santiago and so on.
- 8. Finally, in my feelings ● The massive earthquake in Chile is one of most dangerous earthquakes but it is less dangerous than the Tohoku earthquake. ● Because, the Chile earhquake caused shakes, tsunami, and aftershock. The Tohoku earthquake caused not only them but also the nuclear plants accident. ● But I understand the Chile earthquake not including a nuclear plants accident is enough to danger.
