Book Description
The moment magnitude (Mw)7.2 mainshock of the Sierra El Mayor–Cucapah earthquake occurred at 3:40 pm local time (22:40:42 universal time coordinated) on April 4, 2010. The epicenter was located in the southern Mexicali Valley at the foot of the Sierra El Mayor and Sierra Cucapah. The seismogenic fault rupture propagated both northwesterly into the mountains and southeasterly toward the Gulf of California for a total surface rupture length of approximately 120 kilometers. Near-field strong motion recordings, with stations located entirely east and north of the fault rupture, measured peak ground accelerations of 0.40 to 0.54 g in the lower Mexicali Valley. North of the international border, peak ground accelerations were recorded at 0.59 g southwest of El Centro, 0.38 to 0.56 g in El Centro, and 0.27 g in Calexico.

Book Description
The April 4, 2010 (Mw7.2), El Mayor-Cucapah, Baja California, Mexico, earthquake is the strongest earthquake to shake the Salton Trough area since the 1992 (Mw7.3) Landers earthquake. Similar to the Landers event, ground-surface fracturing occurred on multiple faults in the trough. However, the 2010 event triggered surface slip on more faults in the central Salton Trough than previous earthquakes, including multiple faults in the Yuha Desert area, the southwestern section of the Salton Trough. In the central Salton Trough, surface fracturing occurred along the southern San Andreas, Coyote Creek, Superstition Hills, Wienert, Kalin, and Imperial Faults and along the Brawley Fault Zone, all of which are known to have slipped in historical time, either in primary (tectonic) slip and/or in triggered slip.

Risk Communication and Community Resilience
Author: Bandana KarPublisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1351614894
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 307
Book Description
Risk communication is crucial to building community resilience and reducing risk from extreme events. True community resilience involves accurate and timely dissemination of risk information to stakeholders. This book examines the policy and science of risk communication in the digital era. Themes include public awareness of risk and public participation in risk communication and resilience building. The first half of the book focuses on conceptual frameworks, components, and the role of citizens in risk communication. The second half examines the role of risk communication in resilience building and provides an overview of some of its challenges in the era of social media. This book looks at the effectiveness of risk communication in socially and culturally diverse communities in the developed and developing world. The interdisciplinary approach bridges academic research and applied policy action. Contributions from Latin America and Asia provide insight into global risk communication at a time when digital technologies have rapidly transformed conventional communication approaches. This book will be of critical interest to policy makers, academicians, and researchers, and will be a valuable reference source for university courses that focus on emergency management, risk communication, and resilience.
