Mission
Temblor forecasts global seismicity, estimates home damage, provides insights, and visualizes flood, liquefaction, and landslide hazards.
The organization has no registered commitments.
The Sendai Framework Voluntary Commitments (SFVC) online platform allows stakeholders to inform the public about their work on DRR. The SFVC online platform is a useful toolto know who is doing what and where for the implementation of the Sendai Framework, which could foster potential collaboration among stakeholders. All stakeholders (private sector, civil society organizations, academia, media, local governments, etc.) working on DRR can submit their commitments and report on their progress and deliverables.

By studying how EEWs are used in hospital systems, Vaiciulyte aims to identify ways to save more lives when disaster strikes, from identifying challenges, opportunities, and capacity to probing existing protocols and inspiring proactive ones.
New research suggests branch faults serve as on-ramps to major fault superhighways. The key to this phenomenon might be that the branch fault ruptures faster than seismic waves can travel — the equivalent of breaking the sound barrier in Earth’s crust.
The earthquake that struck offshore eastern Mindanao in the southern Philippines on August 3, 2024 resulted from renewed movement of an extinct fracture zone subducting into Earth’s mantle.
The largest shocks in the Nankai subduction zone range between magnitude 8 and 9 and occur every 100 to 200 years. But, the recent magnitude 7.1 shock occurred in a zone of repeating magnitude 7 shocks every 30 years, probably without producing megaquakes
Several studies show that constructing safe structures in earthquake-prone regions can be accomplished using sustainable materials that range from mass timber to recycled tires.
The Philippine island of Palawan — considered a stable part of the seismically active country — was recently shaken by two earthquakes in two days, highlighting the need to reassess seismic hazards.
Simulations of underwater earthquakes and landslides in the Ionian Sea found that they could generate tsunami waves as high as 2.5 meters in southern Italy.
Mindanao, the second-largest island in the Philippines, is known for its high seismic activity, having experienced numerous moderate to major earthquakes throughout its history.
