«Vai acontecer em Portugal exatamente o mesmo» país em risco de catástrofe iminente

"The same thing that happened in Venezuela will happen in Portugal," says the country at risk of imminent catastrophe. Geologist João Duarte's detailed analysis on NOW addressed the rare phenomenon of twin earthquakes, warning of the high degree of vulnerability of infrastructure in high-risk areas. "The same thing that happened in Venezuela will happen in Portugal," said João Duarte, highlighting the similarity between the Iberian plate boundaries and the regions recently affected by severe seismic events. During his analysis, the geologist stressed that the structural collapse of buildings, and not the magnitude of the tremor itself, is the main cause of the high mortality rate in these crisis scenarios. The urgent need to rehabilitate older buildings, starting immediately with hospitals and schools, is identified as the highest national priority. João Duarte concluded that the implementation and rigorous construction of earthquake-resistant buildings is the only effective way to drastically mitigate human losses in a future violent seismic event. #Earthquake #SeismicRisk #SeismicPrevention #TwinEarthquakes #NaturalDisaster #SeismicEngineering #CivilProtection #Safety #Construction #UrbanRehabilitation #Earthquakes #Prevention #Seismology #Emergency #Alerts
