Most of the losses were uninsured, as only 3% of property in the Kobe area was covered by earthquake insurance, compared to 16% in Tokyo. Although the city had been build to withstand a much stronger earthquake over 6000 people lost their lives, mainly … On January 17th 1995 Kobe was hit by a 7.2 earthquake. ... Earthquake in Japan ( 1 of 2 , 1978-2004) - Duration: 9:58. The next test for Japan’s emergency response system following the Kobe earthquake actually came in October 2004. Nine years after the Kobe earthquake in Japan, social issues are still prominent, and the rehabilitation process is still ongoing. [10] Our very simple dynamic model of the Kobe earth-quake produces kinematic motions on the fault consistent Figure 1. Many earthquake-resistant structure were destroyed by recent earthquakes, such as the Kobe Earthquake(1995) in Japan, the Kocaeli Earthquake(1999) in Turkey, Niigataken-Chuetu Earthquake(2004) in Japan and so on.. The reliability of structures during earthquakes must be checked again using rational design methods. It shows the Kobe earthquake was a right-lateral strike slip event on a Introduction [2] The 16 January 1995 Kobe earthquake (Mw 6.9) occurred near the city of Kobe in western Japan, causing a tremendous amount of damage and the loss of many lives. The earthquake caused approximately ten trillion yen or $102.5 billion in damage, 2.5% of Japan's GDP at the time. The top photo in this composite shows the aftermath of an earthquake-triggered tsunami that hit Banda Aceh, the capital of Aceh province, Indonesia, in December 2004. Directed by Dan Gold. 1. US$44 billion loss, although only seventy-two dead), the 1995 Kobe, Japan earthquake (M6.8, $100 billion, 6,434 dead), the 2004 Sumatra-Andaman earthquake and tsunami (M9.3, damage Map showing the focal mechanism and surface projection of the fault plane used by Ide and Takeo [1997] of the 16 January 1995 Kobe earthquake (Mw 6.9). With Makoto Fujii, Charles Scawthorn, Ashton Smith. Events in this list and shown in red on our real-time earthquake map and list are considered “significant events’, and they are determined by a combination of magnitude, number of Did You Feel It responses, and PAGER alert level. The 1995 Kobe, Japan, earthquake caused thousands of fatalities and billions of dollars in damage because it was a great, M8.9 earthquake: false The 26 December, 2004, Sumatra M9.3 earthquake had a rupture length of about _______ km and the maximum slip on the fault was about _____ m: What makes an earthquake "significant"? The earthquake caused two major changes in Japanese society: an increase in voluntary and non‐government activities, and the enhancement of cooperation between local government and the residents' association.
