The Hashin highway collapsed, train tracks became twisted and buckled, roads cracked, water mains burst, houses and buisnesses knocked down and over 6400 people died.
businesses were closed for months people homeless lack of transport links international aid
everything
20 seconds and there was 1320 after shocks
the long term effects are seismic waves which are little earthquakes after thr REAL earthquake; they will go on for who knows how long....the short terms the length of the REAL earthquake the truth is no one knows how long it will take to recover from Haiti it might take years it might take more or less.......just help in whatever way you can!!!
The Hanshin earthquake brings on the same short-term and long-term effects as most other natural disasters. The areas affected will see a strong influx of income as the area rebuilds, and in the long run, this income will provide a more reliable, productive economy.
On 17 January 1995, Kobe was hit by an earthquake of magnitude 7.2 on the Richter scale. Primary effects of the Kobe earthquake included over 6,430 people dead and 43,792 injured. Over 300,000 were left homeless. 104,906 houses were completely destroyed, and 460,000 were damaged. This was because of the high density layout of the city. Secondary effects included gas leaks, water mains being cut off and electricity lines being damaged. With gas leaks and loose electrical wires, fires started - of the buildings damaged or destroyed, 7,483 were burnt to the ground and 9,017 more damaged by the fires.
Business's' close down, transport links can close, people die, utility line are down, fires? (I'm relating mine to the 1995 Kobe earthquake but most of these happen in other earthquakes)
Over 200,000 buildings collapsed, killing 5,000 citizens making 300,000 homeless. Also many buildings sunk into the ground due to liquefaction. And the Hanshin expressway was virtually destroyed one of the best transportation routes in the Kansai region of Japan.
The Kobe earthquake in 1995 destroyed more than 102,000 buildings and left 300,000 people homeless. The cost estimate to restore the basic infrastructure of the city was 150-million dollars. This was just for state owned buildings and services alone. The Kobe earthquake is the most expensive natural disaster in modern history. The earthquake lasted only 20-seconds.
The 2010 Chile earthquake had significant short-term effects, including widespread destruction of infrastructure, loss of life, and displacement of thousands of residents. In the long term, the earthquake led to substantial economic impacts, necessitating extensive rebuilding efforts and improving disaster preparedness and response strategies. Additionally, it highlighted the need for stricter building codes and urban planning to mitigate future risks. Overall, the event catalyzed changes in both governmental policies and community resilience efforts.
