**Los Angeles Prepares for the "Big One" with Made-for-TV Movie** In preparation for the inevitable major earthquake predicted to hit Southern California, a 1990 made-for-television movie titled "The Great Los Angeles Earthquake" aired, starring Joanna Kerns. The film depicted a catastrophic earthquake that devastates Los Angeles, highlighting the potential for widespread destruction and the importance of preparedness. **Historical Earthquakes in Southern California** The Fort Tejon Earthquake of 1857 stands as a reminder of the region's seismic history. This magnitude 7.9 earthquake caused significant damage and loss of life, underscoring the potential for future earthquakes of similar intensity. **The "Big One"** Seismologists continue to study earthquake faults in Southern California, warning that the region is overdue for a major earthquake. While the exact timing is unpredictable, scientists believe that the "Big One" could occur at any time. **Preparing for the Inevitable** California has invested heavily in earthquake preparedness measures, including building codes, emergency response plans, and public education campaigns. The state has also established a system of seismic monitoring stations to track earthquake activity and provide early warnings. **Recent Earthquakes in the Region** In recent years, Southern California has experienced several significant earthquakes, including the 1994 Northridge earthquake, the 2010 El Mayor-Cucapah earthquake, and the 2019 Ridgecrest earthquake. These events have served as reminders of the ongoing seismic risk in the region. The made-for-TV movie "The Great Los Angeles Earthquake" serves as a cautionary tale, urging residents to be prepared and stay informed about earthquake hazards. While it is impossible to predict when the "Big One" will strike, taking steps to mitigate its impact can help minimize the devastation and save lives.

**Earthquakes in the Philippines: A Constant Threat Due to Pacific Ring of Fire** The recent earthquakes in Batangas and Lanao have once again highlighted the Philippines' vulnerability to seismic activity. The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) has issued a primer to explain the country's geological and tectonic location, which places it in the Pacific Ring of Fire, a region known for frequent earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. On Saturday, a major 7.6-magnitude earthquake struck in the Philippine Sea, according to the United States Geological Survey. This comes on the heels of a nagging question that resurfaced after a magnitude 7.8 earthquake hit Turkey and Syria: what if the theorized destructive "Big One" hits the Philippines? A Metro Manila risk assessment estimated that a magnitude 7.2 earthquake on the West Valley Fault (WVF), also known as "The Big One," could result in significant casualties and infrastructure damage. According to Phivolcs, the provinces that would experience the greatest impact include the National Capital Region (NCR), Cavite, and Bulacan. To prepare for such a scenario, experts recommend updating the building code to prevent major damage, conducting regular earthquake preparedness drills, and educating the public about earthquake risks. Phivolcs also provides a map showing the nearest fault line in each city, allowing residents to assess their risk. The Philippines has experienced numerous devastating earthquakes in the past, including the 1990 Philippine Earthquake, which killed over 1,600 people. The government has implemented various measures to mitigate earthquake risks, such as the World Bank-funded Philippines Seismic Risk Reduction and Resilience Project. However, it is essential for individuals and communities to remain vigilant and take appropriate measures to protect themselves from potential earthquakes.
**Kalifornien bereitet sich auf "The Big One" vor, ein Erdbeben massiven Ausmaßes** Das nächste große Erdbeben entlang der San-Andreas-Verwerfung in Kalifornien ist überfällig, wie neue Berechnungen zeigen. Experten gehen davon aus, dass "The Big One" eine Stärke zwischen 8,0 und 8,6 erreichen könnte, was eine Naturkatastrophe mit verheerenden Folgen wäre. Laut der Studie könnte ein schweres Erdbeben in Kalifornien Hunderte Milliarden US-Dollar kosten und Metropolregionen wie Los Angeles und San Francisco verwüsten. Das Erdbeben von San Francisco im Jahr 1906, bei dem über 3.000 Menschen ums Leben kamen, gilt als eines der schlimmsten Naturereignisse in der amerikanischen Geschichte. Experten warnen seit langem vor der Wahrscheinlichkeit eines weiteren Großbebens in der Region. Die San-Andreas-Verwerfung ist eine seismisch aktive Zone, und die Spannungen nehmen seit Jahrzehnten zu. Das Erdbebenzentrum Südkaliforniens schätzt die Wahrscheinlichkeit eines Erdbebens der Stärke 7,5 oder höher entlang der südlichen San-Andreas-Verwerfung in den nächsten 30 Jahren auf 99,7 %. Die Behörden in Kalifornien treffen Maßnahmen, um sich auf das unvermeidliche "The Big One" vorzubereiten. Dazu gehören die Stärkung von Gebäuden, die Entwicklung von Frühwarnsystemen und die Durchführung von Katastrophenübungen. Die Bewohner Kaliforniens werden aufgefordert, sich auf ein großes Erdbeben vorzubereiten, indem sie Notfallpläne erstellen, Vorräte anlegen und sich über die Evakuierungswege informieren.
