Both Vanuatu & California experienced earthquakes at 7+ Magnitude (December, 2024). And both of these geographic areas experienced a difference in terms of the intensity of shaking and reported damage. In this video, with the use of visual examples, we share some inherent factors that are determinants for experienced earthquake intensity (based on reports and picture-video evidence) .
It is our intended objective, and desired outcome through this video, that you will be better informed towards reducing your vulnerability to earthquakes of similar magnitude, within your geographic zone of residence/visit.
