www.usgs.gov This film depicts the realistic outcome of a hypothetical, but plausible, magnitude 7.8 earthquake on the San Andreas fault in Southern CA. From the Creator: www.youtube.com Up-and-coming film director, motion graphics designer and Art Center College of Design alumnus, Theo Alexopoulos, takes you on a visceral journey through the USGS shakeout Earthquake Scenario. The film was created by the USGS Multi-Hazards Demonstration Project in cooperation with the Designmatters program at Art Center to depict the physical, social, and economic consequences of the most comprehensive earthquake scenario ever created. The film gives the viewers a sense of what will be happening and inspires them to prepare and mitigate for a faster recovery. The premise underlying the film is that design is a powerful catalyst that can bridge the divide between scientific understanding about damaging quakes, and the ability of the public to feel empowered and to change their behavior in terms of preparedness.

Great information! Thanks for sharing
the guy who wanted to move to japan why would you want do that the last earthquake i heard of was bad also theres alot of earthquakes what are you thinking
Why the hell would you want move to Japan if you want to get away from earthquakes? The seismic activity in California doesn’t even compare to the seismic activity in Japan not even close. In Japan you can get a Northridge size quake at least every year, and great ones like the one being shown every decade or 2.
My apology if this shows up more than once…for the person who wants to move to Japan, be prepared because it is a very active earthquake zone!!!
Advice to the person who wants to move to Japan. You still have to be prepared because Japan is a very highly active earthquake zone!!!
Why do you want to move to Japan???…it is a very high earthquake zone!!!
amazing video, who made it?
scary.
Computer Simulations. They put in data like the magnitude of the earthquake the time of day, estimate of amount of people out that day, building structures, water line locations, stuff like that you know. And the computer does thousands of simulations and then they get the numbers from that.
How can they know this will happen ??
You werent alive before that?
oh no if i’m in canada now i will die and now i’m alive cuz im in the philippines
Despite buildings collapsing due to actual shaking, I’d imagine fear of future collapse + fire would drive many people away to places perceived as safer. Also, obviously, not all buildings are residential. Since you’re from the UK and possibly not familiar with this sort of disaster, you haven’t seen the reactions people have had. After the event in Northridge, CA in 1994, public parks became campgrounds for many people. It took LA and surrounding counties months to inspect everything.
i really love this vid
Ok howcome if only nearly 1500 buildings collapse, there will be 255000 people homeless, it just doesnt add up?????????
this sucks i like wanna move to japan now
um it didn’t happen yet
