6:30 am
that there are no death. so injuries but many buildings, including this minarette damaged the one day later typhoon carman is the head of earthquake risk management for the city. he's faced with a big challenge. the, the city's warning system did not activate during the quake, and the each new condition you said the system worked is it should have we have 10 stations at the moment, but we aren't receiving a signal from any of them. not even yesterday. our task now is to build more stations and repair the 10 we already have. so this will of those are turkey's conservative party rules is symbol for 25 years until the summer of 20. 19 kara.
6:31 am
mom says the party did not do enough to prepare the city for earthquakes. unfortunately, we cannot say that it's done bullies prepared for an f wake today. can i know there are still buildings here that are in danger of collapsing and let's say to do that after all, even the 5 point take magnitude quake caused major damage. because a lot of the news to the government, one to set new priorities today, carmen hosts representatives from the mag foundation at city hall for about 2 decades. this group of scientists, merchants, and craft people, has been trying to prepare, assemble residents for the next big earthquake traumatized by the 1999 quake. they did not want to leave their fate in the hands of the state alone. our mission that within the 1st 72 hours after the fight,
6:32 am
everyone has their own neighborhood because we want to train for $25.00 volunteers in each district to form a civilian disaster rescue team i the new city administration wants to work together with the foundation for disaster management text that is an easy pick. this is a ray of hope. god, i do. we have come to the right place. he will support our projects, develop them further. and he also has plans his own that of the earthquake with a wakeup call. so the whole city as a panel discussion, the foundation mag informed the residents about the dangers of earthquakes. that's quite a bit of interest in music. tell them what they must avoid at all. costs is panic, native mclean up and come back to disaster. the most important asset we have people,
6:33 am
but only if those people are prepared and can act reflexively decline if they are not prepared, then they become a liability. the car be, they panic. get pointed to them when i get to check. if you did call me back in germany during the birth 3 test seismologists, marco bone half has a breakthrough gigabytes collected within a couple of minutes. it's like he uses various types of stone to stimulate earthquakes, fish and fire in the real world. and there might be 100 or 200 years between 2 strong quake we don't have that time. so instead, we simulate these processes at an accelerated rate when we increase the pressure relatively quickly and then retrieve the measured values. so we can do our
6:34 am
calculation for let's list alternately, we can recreate a complete cycle from one quake to the next, within a few minutes enough to burn off tests to tout with the sandstone sample. a press supplies an enormous amount of pressure to the stone in the machine, similar heinously registers acoustic signal that reveal what is happening to the stone internally is just before or slowly the machine increases, the pressure on the stone. it says 30 trucks with that top on one finger on the surface it appears the stone hasn't changed, but the acoustic signals on the monitor show another story. it's beginning to fracture. so that more and more cracks become visible, like small miniature quakes. i had an autumn 15 minutes later, the stone breaks. it was my co boon house says the same
6:35 am
logic can be applied to large scale. earthquake limits is in for the and we're seeing all of this for shock activity before the point of fracture and. and since that's similar for all rock samples, we're hopeful that we can apply this method, but looking from so well on the scale, many, many quakes to signal a larger earthquake is coming with this also the case with the september quake, it's dumbo 50 scientists from all over the world's conduct research, the german research center for g o sciences in potsdam, in the hope of predicting when earthquakes will strike, in addition to turkey grease and it's really a to danger zone senior rep. besides me to do the main trigger is the african plates, which is pressing northwards towards the ration plates in the mediterranean structure . in 2016 an earthquake rattled central italy,
6:36 am
nearly 300 people died. when she was the collapse of many old buildings. this is not the case in japan which experienced the 9 point one magnitude quake in 2011. the nearly 20000 people died most from the resulting still know me that slammed into the northeast and coasted the country. devastating the area ah, research is say adapting infrastructure is crucial. this is mckenna new, the earthquake that struck japan in 2011 is a good example. and indeed, there was a lot of damage related to the through nami, but you know, but the buildings withstood due to compliance with earthquake resistance. standard, no bosses, me, japan,
6:37 am
invest the loss of money in earthquake resistance construction, for example, offering subsidies for buildings with shock absorbing dampers. the money for this kind of technology isn't available in a stumble. won't you? because you do it perfect or 3 factors must be considered pushing 1st, the likelihood an earthquake will strike leaks. second and all the number of buildings and people that morning visual and the 3rd quality of the construction or how vulnerable the buildings are. so a hot spot, in other words, a place where damage could be particularly great, has these 3 factors ultimately, and we see that in istanbul, but also in cities like lima, kito, or mexico city, going to come to, to mexico. the biggest challenge now in a stumble is limiting the potential damage as a mega earthquake. me in the southwestern part of the
6:38 am
city, the book you could neighborhood, particularly at risk, boost in egypt from the mag. the foundation has worked here for 12 years as a disaster prevention coordinator. she surveyed the area with was going to do a size more legit give you the houses here, a very old it's impair. she pushed the change in rebuild. after the september quake, 2 buildings were evacuated to all. the facade shows significant. crack goes by beth. except the weight of the residents are
6:39 am
unarmed and up. thank you, but i'll give a yes i'm not one of the buildings will be rebuilt, but the owners simply cannot agree on what to do with the other one. i mean the if a building is reported to the city is unsafe, it should be torn down. what is going on, but there's not enough funding to build a new that's why unsafe buildings a still inhabited good study showing them a government only cares about prestige projects. it doesn't care about how people really live. should this is it from the it's not just about the quite the immediate aftermath of the be terrible. gaskets are fine to be nice by natural gas. there's an ation fuel tank and gasoline debt and
6:40 am
yet there is still no precaution. lacy problem, the fires that could occur after quite assemble, goodness, private money. we have no time to lose. but our government in ankara prefers to plan an absurd new canal through which we must immediately prepare for awake. but they just aren't listening to us. if you at all, do you know, was a major city in europe has grown quite as fast in recent decade. what is lacking, however, earthquake resists into residential buildings. in recent years, the turkish government has repeatedly tightened building regulations. but the chamber of civil engineers is skeptical of the construction industry. is chairman
6:41 am
jamal group. chair stress is that just because the building is new, doesn't mean it stay from s quakes. it's a major, so point. energy was fine, learn to steady. we're trying to rule out until very recently the inspectors were chosen and paid by the builders themselves. part of that, you know, how independently can you inspect the person who's paying you at least since the 1st of january, 2019 inspectors and now selected through an electronic system i yet met. but even that does not suffice to me a project because they are often not trained well enough or not. they don't have special certificates, either a simple diploma or is enough to get the job. we have a serious problem with construction supervision in this country. yes ma'am, you have the day that the city is growing rapidly. as a result, it is becoming more and more crowded and the risks of severe consequences from an earthquake are increasing. she's getting sure that the situation wherein right now
6:42 am
it's a crime, isn't it? not can one really live in a city like this will not have a government designing these opens faces already show to the construction here. it can't go on like the other. one of the meanwhile, the state disaster management or, or a c r fund, is raising awareness about the risks posed by earthquakes, with an elaborately produced tv commercial. ah, the, the message prepare for just, just as your neighborhood stays safe. how's it going about this? however, there's no specified. instead the 30 promises educational campaigns. oh,
6:43 am
the reality on the symbol straight is not as good as the commercial in actuality, there are constant traffic gems, and more and more high rise buildings. the new city government knows this all too well. it is speaking solutions and has invited jam inside knowledge is my co boon. half to is dumble. the scientists from all over the world are joined by local rescue teams and associations to discuss the current situation. phone house delivers the opening speech the sign of how much his work is appreciated. the current knowledge of the mama hold indicates a maximum expected earthquake magnitude of $7.00. of course, this would not exclude a larger event if we have learned so dramatically in japan in 2011, but based on historical data, this is probably
6:44 am
a solid measure installed over the years of team has worked with turkey. disaster management, i'm sorry to set up 7 measuring station in the mama region one slot and then for quake safety is the top priority for the city's new math, a crumb. my mom. he is in close discussion with bone half and other international scientists. their research will be incorporated into the new earthquake roadmap for its stumble. been ball. i'm convinced that this is an issue that the whole world my solved together stumbled and now again, the difference is on both the biggest problem when it comes to worth quake is the safety of its buildings. manually 50000 buildings are at risk, different even a mild quake can damage it. live in a, up with them at this poses a huge threat to the lives of tens of thousands of people. mentioned in the short of the answer is not only to demolish houses and build new ones, taught it,
6:45 am
but perhaps to strengthen existing buildings as well. that will be not learning richland, we must use this time very wisely to find quick and practical solution. so we can save people's lives in some that and john and christ on about helping them engineer to goodness is also committed to finding solutions. but it's not working on predicting if an earthquake will strike days or hours ahead of time. he's focused on the 2nd before the quake, like the malta, 80 live, if we developed an early warning mobile app that alerted uses about the east and earthquake in city starting to get off the customers and how much so we proven the app work. i'm now here to get support for it from the city, confirms hold on the system and diagonal with you to get a quote on this machine. i paid goodness appointment was pissed off until a later date. the,
6:46 am
the theory of the quake has been propelling him forward for years. stumbled doesn't have an early warning system like the one in tokyo or mexico city. so i took, it, took matters into his own hands and developed immobile up in 2017 to it's designed to send a warning signal to people in the stumble area, a few seconds before a major quake. the app can be purchased for the equivalent of around 2 heroes a year. so far, goodner has set up 6 measuring stations in the mama region using his own son. today he is monitoring his station in the beauty mentioned district the sensor registers tiny tremors, 3 me too deep. in the event of an
6:47 am
earthquake, it measures the less powerful primary wave of the quake. it sends a signal to appease this 5 to 25 seconds before the stronger and more destructive secondary waves. ah, the warning time increases the further you are from the earthquakes api center. i'm trying to the spot if the system has proven itself. but the thing is only one station per location. there's a risk of false alarm. all the cost reasons. i've only set up one system at the start, but it would be better to add one or even 2 stations every 3 kilometers and set up a whole network. but he doesn't have the sun so that each new station costs about 25000 years. currently, about 5000 people have downloaded his mobiles only
6:48 am
a fraction in comparison to assemble 15000000 residents but did not believe them what he's doing. every 2nd counts all on you, the talk up in 10 seconds. you could take shelter with your children. if you're driving a car, you can park it safely, you must in this, if you are about to go inside a building or drive through a tunnel, you decide against it on your visa seconds. that save lives. give me seconds and not enough for german sized molly just demarco boon. half he wants to be able to warn the population hours before a quake he is out on the sea of mamma. just off exactly where a full stone far below the surface could trigger the next big quake
6:49 am
on the island is because i own office set up a measuring station to help with his forecast. but the station is hardly sending any signals at the moment. that's the problem. he goes, this is the largest island off the coast of his tunnel. and these are predetermined measurements. site wasn't because they're closer to the fault sound in the com the team is headed to the highest point of the island. a summit in the middle of a nature reserve in here, seismographs were installed 300 meters deep into the earth and covered with concrete . using acoustic signal,
6:50 am
they registered the smallest tennis that do not reach the surface. this way, even many earthquakes have recorded the depths of the sites. mcgrath plays a critical role. if 1st we have to try to get beneath the surface because in a metropolitan area like ist on bowl, there's a lot of background noise from infrastructure wind. and whether that's bad for us, because we want to measure the signals as cleanly as possible. and that's why we have to go deep below the surface. but drilling deep down, it's expensive and we have to drill at least a few 100 meters. so in this case, the compromise between the cost of drilling and leading our requirements is 300 meters, deep meter construction around 300000 euros was financed by the german research center for geo sciences. the turkish authorities are fat and international donors. did him much harass, remembers how intensive the process was to send him
6:51 am
a too much too long. the drilling here took a total of 9 months. the ground is made from very hard stone. so drilling into it was very difficult, not on the phone, but it was also a mammoth task to bring these huge machines to the island. and then the drill heads of the machine kept breaking all the i think we had to replace on 10 of them. the drilling company hated us by the end of it all. the data from the science, mcgrath to sent in almost real time via the internet to the disaster management tool source, the funds in ankara and to pump them while the team is now figure out why the signals are failing to send a u. s. company manufacturers. the senses, they are used in earthquake zones, all over the world. technician says valensuela has come all the way from the us to help with maintenance. we have some problems with the station seems like this. i send the data to the central station. so we try to figure out what the problem
6:52 am
seems like, is there around the digitize or has like a ram inside when it gets to it will stop at position because it's how you design because the size of the roster embedded deep underground, they cannot be swapped. out valensuela can only activate them by remote control because they didn't get here on the moon. half sudden his colleagues impulse them to find out if the data has arrived from them. if we repaired the data locker, we know the data arrived in ankara and in 5 minutes we'll know if it arrived and puts down, but everything looks good. mission accomplished, the data finally arrives impulse stem. me.
6:53 am
the meanwhile, up the developer had found a backer for his early warning system. renowned assembled geologist wants to further develop his them in charge of the professor, jackie l 2 rack wants to use cell phones to measure the shaking during an earthquake and compare it with the measurement data on site. something like this is not been done before. we want to combine these 2 functions in the am. from until now it's not been possible to measure how each building reacts individuals during a quake. but with cell phones lying around the house, we could measure that set of homeowners in the law much good couldn't meet the geologist is stumble technical university. they discuss how the app could be used to estimate damage after a quake. what can a few years back geologist?
6:54 am
chain, he was also working on a warning system to predict earthquakes. yanni, yup, that's no longer his priority because he considers it dangerous this as you ought to saw. so that if i could predict now that in 30 hours there will be an earthquake bank a lot. how would they control the money and turkish banks have to catch up? it would flee abroad, but people would storm the bank. you know, they would storm the stores if they would turn on each other way that are there sufficient security forces to prevent something like that. you know, is there a plan in place one, you know, there isn't, i mean a little therefore, even if there was a way to predict earthquakes, i mean, our society would not be set up for it. because then you would need to and a half square meters, a face outside per person. that there is no space and stumble and we don't even have $75.00 square centimeters per person. maybe. yeah, you just go to the city center. yeah. to begin the streets are 2 and
6:55 am
a half meters wide. the houses 6 stories, high apartment. if one house collapses, the whole street is blocked by a fire breaks out in just one house. it spreads to all of them, but the building, the young interest. so guy, you only a few months have passed since the last quaking assemble on the 24th of january 2020. another earthquake strikes turkey. this time in the eastern part of the country. the quake is almost 30 times stronger than the timber quake in 2019. at least 90 building collapse and 41 people die in the region. the devices and rescue workers raise the night temperatures the minus 8 celsius emergency units travel from assemble. the rescue work takes days.
6:56 am
geophysicist, marco boone half doesn't have much time left. unfortunately, that's exactly what research requires. but he does have new findings. the results of the september quake or in the his thesis seems to be correct for the distance. i think it's under the see of mom for many, many quakes accumulated until the big quake with a 5.8 magnitude struck you cause the question is whether these fractures of the 4 shocks are signs of a larger earthquake on research. don't yet know if this is a pattern that can be applied to all quakes, but the indications that growing boon half estimates that it will take another one to 2 years to see if the method is proved correct. the only then will it
6:57 am
be possible to develop a reliable, full costing system in best and i love hello best case scenario would be to put out a sort of fever curve game where every day we could estimate if there's a higher or lower risk of an earthquake, residents, we start to adjust to this. it would be like what we see with forecasting extreme weather. this is not yet the case with earthquakes, and there's a long road ahead to get there. but this is what we're aiming for, and we're working to improve this situation in systems of our best on the, in the people of assemble only have a real chance if priorities this, that earthquake resistance buildings. the public warning 2nd before a quake, and a longer lead forecast. ah,
6:58 am
the research is work remains of race against time. ah. eco, india. how can a country's economy grow in harmony with people and the environment? when there are doers? look at the bigger picture. india, a country that faces many challenges and people are striving to create a sustainable future lever projects from europe and india equal india.
