Introduction. Experts say damage cost from Pakistan's earthquake totals US$5 billion. Quetta (1935) and Makran (1945) also suffered large (M=7.5+) earthquakes. National Society of Earthquake Technology Nepal In October 2005 the Kashmir earthquake left over 75,000 people dead and 3.5 million homeless, just before winter on the foot of the Himalayas from low to high altitude. The well-known and recent earthquake of Kashmir occurred at 03:50 GMT (08:50 local time), on the morning of Saturday the 8th of October, 2005. Following the event, the authors participated in the Earthquake . Earthquake, Tsunami, Contamination (Radioactive) 2011 Japan: $197: $344.7 (2021) 5502 - 6434 Great Hanshin earthquake: Earthquake 1995 Japan: $148: $179.7 (2021) 87587 2008 Sichuan earthquake: Earthquake 2008 China: $125: $167.4 (2021) 1245 - 1836 Hurricane Katrina: Tropical cyclone 2005 United States: $125: $133.2 (2021) 107 Hurricane Harvey Based on our findings and those of other studies, women made up a larger proportion of the injury and mortality figures. At 8:50 on the morning of 8 October 2005, northern Pakistan experienced a 7.6 magnitude earthquake. The size distribution of aftershocks is analyzed using the Gutenberg-Richter law . On 8 October 2005, a devastating magnitude-7.6 earthquake struck the Kashmir region in the Himalaya. The total cost of the earthquake is estimated to be $ 5.2 billion (see table 1). More. Kashmir earthquake of 2005, disastrous earthquake that occurred on October 8, 2005, in the Pakistan-administered portion of the Kashmir region and in the North-West Frontier Province (NWFP; called Khyber Pakhtunkhwa after 2010) of Pakistan; it also affected adjacent parts of India and Afghanistan. estimates the damage and reconstruction costs of the October 8, 2005 earthquake that struck areas of the North West Frontier Province (NWFP) and Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) in Pakistan. One of the worst natural disasters in South Asia, the earthquake caused thousands of landslides that buried entire villages. Direct damages and indirect economic losses from the Oct. 8 quake total more than US$2.3 billion (Ђ2 billion), The News said, citing a report by the Asian Development Bank and World Bank. The severity of the damage caused by the earthquake is attributed to severe upthrust. The 2005 Muzaffarabad earthquake caused a death toll of more than 95,000 with 100,000 people injured and about 4 million people in the affected area were left homeless. October 2005 a Magnitude 7.6 earthquake occurred in Pakistan at the foothills of the Himalayas. Its epicentre was 19 km northeast of Muzaffarabad. The fault plane solution Kashmir Earthquake. On 8 October 2005, a devastating magnitude-7.6 earthquake struck the Kashmir region in the Himalaya. It said reconstruction costs will add up to US$2.65 billion (Ђ2.25 billion), about half of what Pakistan's government had been estimating last month. US$1 million in cash was sent out on October 10, 2005. The earthquake epicenter was located . At least 1,350 people were killed and 6,266 injured in Jammu and Kashmir state in India, and the tremors were felt at a distance of up to 620 miles (1,000 km), as far away as Delhi and Punjab in northern India. The earthquake also affected countries in the surrounding region where tremors were felt in Afghanistan, Tajikistan, India and the Xinjiang region. No action was taken in 2015. In the wake of the 8 October, 2005 earthquake - which claimed almost 75,000 lives in Pakistan and 1,400 across the border in Indian-administered Kashmir - the Pakistani government created the Earthquake Reconstruction and Rehabilitation Authority. estimates the damage and reconstruction costs of the October 8, 2005 earthquake that struck areas of the North West Frontier Province (NWFP) and Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) in Pakistan.

People's Republic of China - The government of the People's Republic of China, offered emergency aid worth US$6.2 million to help earthquake victims in Pakistan. The shelter response ensured no further loss of life, no large scale displacement and maximum assistance at origin. 2008; Rehman et al. The banks declined to provide copies of the report on . The shelter response ensured no further loss of life, no large The damage caused by the landslides in the study area (381 km2) is estimated at 3.6 times the annual public works budget of Azad Kashmir for 2005 of US$ 1 million. One of the worst natural disasters in South Asia, the earthquake caused thousands of landslides that buried entire villages. The results show that prominent variation exists within the 3 days after a main shock of Kashmir 2005 earthquake. Azad.

No action was taken in 2005 to safeguard residents. The earthquake epicenter was located approximately 9 km. As reported by UN Agencies Recovery Needs Assessments and ADB/WB Preliminary Damage and Needs Assessment . The 8 October earthquake An earthquake measuring 7.6 on the Richter scale struck the northern areas of Pakistan and India on 8 October 2005. The earthquake occurred within the Hazara-Kashmir syntaxis of the Him-alayan fold belt. the Kashmir Basin and is known as the Indus-Kohistan seismic zone (Seeber and Armbruster 979). the Kashmir Basin and is known as the Indus-Kohistan seismic zone (Seeber and Armbruster 979).

One of the worst natural disasters in South Asia, the earthquake caused thousands of landslides that buried entire villages. The 2005 Kashmir earthquake occurred at 08:50:39 Pakistan Standard Time on 8 October in Pakistani-administered Azad Kashmir.It was centred near the city of Muzaffarabad, and also affected nearby Balakot in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and some areas of Indian-administered Jammu and Kashmir.It registered a moment magnitude of 7.6 and had a maximum Mercalli intensity of XI (Extreme). In addition to human suffering, this cost constitutes a significant economic setback to the region that could have been reduced through improved land use and risk management. The 2013 earthquake's duration was only 8 s, but the degree of damage caused was enormous. Its The magnitude of completeness for the 2005 Kashmir earthquake aftershocks is equal to 5.0 using the robust maximum curvature method (Wiemer and Wyss 2000; Woessner and Wiemer 2005 ). It killed more than 80,000 people, injured more than 100,000, and left 3 million homeless. The violent ground shaking triggered many land slides an d caused damage to more than 450,000 buildings.

The fault plane solution On October 8, 2005, Kashmir and northern areas of Pakistan were hit by a devastating earthquake of magnitude 7.6. The combination of field observations and movement data analysis undertaken in this project supports the hypothesis that the risk of damage from landslides in Pakistani Kashmir has increased significantly since the Kashmir earthquake. It killed more than 80,000 people, injured more than 100,000, and left 3 million homeless. Over 300,000 people were affected across six districts.

The report, which the paper said was completed on Nov. 5, will serve as a benchmark for giving at a conference of international donors to be held in Pakistan's capital Islamabad on Nov. 19. The main identified feature in this zone is the Balakot-Bagh fault (Hussain 2005), which is the likely source of the earthquake (Figure 2).
