Building Safety Month to be celebrated in May 2023 as proclaimed by Mayor Bruce Harrell in support of a national event sponsored by the International Code Council. In line with this, SDCI Community Engagement is hosting two online lectures in collaboration with the One Seattle Day of Service to help people be more prepared for unexpected events.

Late Wednesday, a magnitude 5.0 earthquake hit the southwestern Muğla province of Türkiye, as reported by the Disaster and Emergency Management Authority (AFAD). According to the statement, the quake occurred at 11 p.m. local time (8 p.m. GMT) and had a depth of 54 kilometers (33.5 miles), near the Aegean Sea off the coast of Datça.

A series of strong earthquakes hit New Zealand's North Island today, just hours after the same area was hit by a 7.2 magnitude quake yesterday. The first quake struck at 10:16 am and was located near the rural settlement of Pōrangahau, at a depth of 21km.

In the next years, the Bay Area will likely suffer an earthquake unlike anything it has experienced in decades, according to experts, and one town in particular faces the possibility of caving in on itself.

A parking garage in New York City's Financial District collapsed, killing one worker and injuring five others. The cause of the collapse is unknown. The incident caused concrete floors to fall on top of each other, crushing several cars.

A study on the discovery of warm liquid pouring from the seafloor off the coast of Oregon was just published by University of Washington researchers. The "Pythias Oasis" underwater spring is a special source of knowledge about the connections between marine activity and faults like the Cascadia Subduction Zone. Scientists might learn more from the site's studies regarding the connections between marine activity and earthquake dangers.
 

A USC-led study has revealed that researchers can predict where Turkey's next major earthquake will occur, estimate its strength, and even pinpoint the spatial footprint of where damage is most likely to occur. However, the experts still cannot predict when the earthquake will happen.
 

A team of scientists from the University of Washington has made a remarkable discovery during a research cruise aboard a vessel off the coast of Oregon. While the team was dealing with a weather-related delay, the ship's sonar detected unexpected plumes of bubbles about three-quarters of a mile below the ocean's surface. An underwater robot was deployed to investigate the source of the bubbles, revealing that they were just a minor component of warm, chemically distinct fluid gushing from the seafloor sediment.

The tourist island of Bali and Indonesia's main island of Java were both shaken by a powerful earthquake on Friday, sending locals and visitors into a panic. As stated by the U.S. According to the Geological Survey, the earthquake had a depth of 594 kilometers and was located 96.5 kilometers (59.8 miles) north of the coastal city of Tuban in the East Java province (369 miles).

According to a recent study, the Cascadia Subduction Zone, an offshore fault stretching from Northern California to Vancouver Island, could be affected by a fluid leak, which might result in a gigantic megathrust earthquake. The study conducted by a team from the University of Washington indicates that warm fluid is erupting from the seafloor around 50 miles from Newport, Oregon. This fluid reportedly lubricates the fault, putting increased stress on it, which could lead to an earthquake of magnitude-9 that could target Seattle and Portland.
