A gathering on the potential of an earthquake was held within the occupied territories below Tatar – Data on faults, earthquake maps, soil analysis was exchanged
A gathering chaired by the Turkish chief, Ersin Tatar, on the dangers of a attainable earthquake and the measures to be taken, befell within the occupied territories with the participation of the “chairman” of the “presidential earthquake committee”, geologist-engineer Dziavit Atalar , of the “administrators” of the “departments of geology and medals, meteorology, seismology”, the chambers of engineers, civil engineers, the city planning chamber, the chamber of architects and the geophysical engineer Hilmi Didar.
As transmitted within the occupied territories, a press release from the “presidency” states that on the assembly data was exchanged on faults, earthquake maps, soil analysis, the situation of current buildings, what needs to be utilized for brand spanking new buildings, “authorized” rules, precautions and inspections that should be completed in associated to earthquakes.
The Turkish chief on the assembly stated that it isn’t clear when and the way an earthquake will happen and reminded that in 2021 an earthquake fee was established within the “presidency”. All the island will probably be affected by a attainable main earthquake, he stated saying that he made a proposal to the E/Okay aspect to cooperate in earthquake research, however it was not accepted.
He himself, he stated, is in favor of financial growth, however there are dangers in building with out the required research. That’s the reason, he stated, he convened the assembly so {that a} related report might be submitted to the competent “authorities”.
Within the meantime, the president of the chamber of engineering geosciences, Mehmet Nejdet, stated that occasionally eventualities of a attainable earthquake on the island or that may have an effect on the island additionally come to the fore and immediately there are methods for scientists to get data and information from floor drilling.
Because of joint research carried out in Cyprus by the US Geological Survey (USGS) in 1999 after the good Sakarya earthquake in Turkey, he stated, the harm of a attainable 6.4 Richter tremor in Haspolat (SS: Mia Milia) was estimated to rise to 1 billion {dollars}.
At the moment, he stated, an lively fault was detected in Mia Milia and excavations had been made. “A variety of samples had been taken primarily based on the presence of some faults within the Dardere (Slender River) space, situated northwest of Nicosia, and the traces left by earlier earthquakes,” he stated.
The work completed then, he added, opened a vital door. “He made a decisive contribution to the unfold of this kind of research, which we name geotechnical. Now soil research are being thought of and plans are being made,” he identified.
Based on the research completed within the years 2000-2004, he stated, there is perhaps two earthquake sources, within the northwest of the tectonic space within the Cyprus arc. Cyprus, he stated, is between three plates, to the south there’s the Arabian plate and the area of Anatolia. With the research, he continued, faults had been additionally found within the sea, whereas a fault was additionally detected in Pergamos.
Within the occasion of a 6.4 Richter earthquake in Mia Milia, he stated, forecasts had been made for financial losses that might attain 1 billion {dollars}.
