------------------------
Determining the "riskiest" cities for earthquakes involves complex analyses conducted by experts in seismology and disaster management. These assessments are typically based on factors such as historical seismic activity, fault lines, building codes, population density, and infrastructure resilience. The order presented in this video is relative and represents my subjective opinion on this matter.
It's crucial to consult official sources and experts in the field for the most accurate and up-to-date information on earthquake risk. Organizations such as the United States Geological Survey (USGS), the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA), and local governmental agencies in earthquake-prone regions often provide valuable resources and information on seismic hazards.

I live in Santa Monica California (Los Angeles County) used to live in San Francisco. My house is new and built to current earthquake codes for California and the office I work in has been retrofitted to current California earthquake codes. I have a storm shelter with a month’s worth of food and supplies in the case of an actual earthquake emergency.
FEMA has taken note. Thank you for your contribution
Pretty spot-on there with Taipei
yep...
@@EarthquakeSim Last Major Earthquake: 2024
Well, if Quakes in Hualien are included for the Taipei threat, then it should be at least M8.
Although I'm in Quito, Ecuador right now, I live 2 hours from here. The 2016 event wasn't located in Quito or anywhere near here. It was located in the coast of Ecuador, in Pedernales. It was a 7.8 event, it was felt in Quito, but didn't cause as much destruction as in the coast.
Taipei, Taiwan #21 magnitude 7.4
That's crazy! Amazing how many people are in the world and the cities are so different. I wish I could see them all in real life!
I believe you missed Mexicali, a Mexican city in the northern border. We were hit by a 7.2 earthquake exactly 14 years ago and we received constant movement trough out the year.
Manila is just one component city of a very dense metro area. All of Metropolitan Manila, with a population of nearly 13.5 million people, is at risk. That's not including the surrounding provinces.
I'm surprised Nice (France) or Even Grenoble are not here (or not that surprised tbh..) because those cities are quite populated and in seismic areas
Hi, can you make a 6.8 Seattle Earthquake Simulator in the city plaza?
amazing video woah
Can you please do the 1960 MM 9.5 Chile earthquake?
Version 2 consists of some new cities:
New York City, NY
Last major quake: 2024
*Hualien, Taiwan*
Last major quake: 2024
V2 should be made now.
I would think that the longest a place has gone without a major quake, the more at risk it would be.
There is an Honorable Mention for Panama: in 1882, there was an earthquake ranging from 7.7 to 8.1, and cities of Guna Yala, Portobelo and Colon would receive the first strike if the earthquake happens again in the same exact place in 1882.
"Oh look, the Tokyo Skytree! Let's destroy it," said literally every kaiju EVER.
Don't miss Izmir, Turkey. It is a city with a population of 4.5 million today, which has had its share of devastating earthquakes throughout history. In 2020, a 7.0 magnitude earthquake hits from 70 km away and buildings were destroyed. Likewise, there are 12 more fault lines around the city that can produce earthquakes of up to 7.2 magnitude.
Adelaide, South Australia earthquake in 1954 that magnitude was 5.6 and one aftershock.
It's not 6.0 magnitude. I'm in South Australia.
Manila is too risky even the july 27 hit it
Edit: Istanbul is not the only city that spans two continents, Orenburg (Russia), Atyrau (Kazakhstan) Magnitogorsk (Russia), Suez (Egypt) and Panama City (Panama) are also transcontinental.
Since when was Australia a part of this, I didn’t know they get earthquakes like that
M6+ Earthquakes in Australia exist, though Adelaide should'nt be mentioned here, since many Cities with well over a Million inhabitants are at far Greater Risk than Adelaide
Don't forget the Hayward Fault
Also 1964 9.2 Alaska Earthquake
Starting
Beijing is also at risk of a quake similar to 1679
Whatever metric was used to calculate the risk to Japanese cities seems to be very... skewed. Osaka and Kobe are at way greater risk than Tokyo due to the Nankai Trough. I strongly advise that you look into it, I think you'll be very interested, but here's a quick rundown that I can offer as a Kansai resident living on the Nankai fault line:
- the Nankai Trough has colossal megathrust earthquakes at somewhat regular intervals of roughly 30 years.
- It's currently overdue, with the last Nankai megathrust event being the 1946 Nankaidou event.
- The estimated likelihood of a 9.0 magnitude earthquake striking within the next 15 years is 85%.
- The death toll, even despite the incredible preparation efforts, is estimated hit around 280,000. As massive as that is, it was previously even higher before further measures were taken to prepare.
Some cities at particularly high risk from a Nankai megathrust event other than Kobe and Osaka are: Nagoya, Nara, Shizuoka, Hamamatsu, Wakayama, Tsu, Takamatsu, and Tokushima (among others)
I live in Japan, and we've had a number of fairly large earthquakes recently.
@@dami_kun3chiri As do I, and I agree that we have, but this is about the potential for an earthquake on a catastrophic scale. Tokyo has very high risk of course, but it feels inaccurate to place it above Nankai on a list like this. Government projections are that *when*, and not *if*, the next Nankai megathrust earthquake event happens, the death toll will be around 280,000. And that's taking into account all the measures to reduce fatalities that have been implemented
Ishikawa and fukushima will probably be here right
Both of those are Prefectures and There is none city named Ishikawa even in Maps .
@@bl1zz4rd25 But they are small cities compared to tokyo
❤️❤️❤️
I IN VANCOUVER
Día de los Muertos is also celebrated in Mexico
As a mexican and used to live in Mexico City, me as every citizen in that city, We have a strong culture to prevent major earthquakes. Unfortunately the last one that shook Mexico City in 2017, the alarm system was too late to prevent us and many people died, now I appreciate and respect any event like that.
I did not live in Taipei but in the city in the South of Taiwan ( I think all the the cities in Taiwan are dangerous for earthquake)
>Taiwan
>Last major quake: 1999
>April 1st
Oof. Timing.
And Caracas, Vzla?
Some Entries are debatable and especially some mentions of "major Earthquakes", Islamabad wasn´t struck in 2019 and we can barely/can´t call Osaka 2018 major, as well as Bogota 2023 and some other entries.
Also the Threat of San Diego for example might be higher. USGS at least has Scenarios for M7-7.5 Quakes on Faults in Greater San Diego.
Certainly surprised to see Adelaide in there but not Cities with over 1 Million Inhabitants like Gaziantep, Sendai or Tabriz. In generel i wonder on what that Ranking is based.
San Diego is not located near the major faults so that's why the risk is lower than LA or SF
@@KyleTalcott-os4wz Thats not what i meant. There are Faults capable for M7.5 nearby San Diego. Lower than LA or SF for sure, but 7.5 is more than the claimed 6.5
I don't really think there are known faults in the area capable of generating the BIG one ... a 7.5 earthquake. You will likely still have to rely on SAF for a quake that large or Hayward or Cascadia. I don't know if a 7.5 is possible in San Diego though. I think the threat of a 7.5 is very low in SD, possible but very unlikely.
I think 6.5 is a decent estimate for the max possible Earthquake in San Diego.
@@KyleTalcott-os4wz Well, i only repeated what can be found on the USGS Website. They should know.
1960: 9.5
1964: 9.2
IS NYC at risk for major Earthquakes?
Yes, the Ramapo Fault is theoretically capable to M7+ Quakes which would heavily affect NYC
@@lukasrentz3238 Yep. No one should live there. It's also prone to Hurricanes and blizzatrds. I think maybe they have one coming. Espizlayy after the 4.8 in NJ a few days ago.
@@KyleTalcott-os4wz In that case there is no habitable Place in the world. There is always some kind of risk somewhere
@@lukasrentz3238 I think no one should live in NYC because of their weather, just awful, the high cost and the locals who are likely just mean and the other natural diasters.
@@lukasrentz3238 NO! Not every place gets risk.
🇯🇵東京🇯🇵 🇯🇵日本🇯🇵
YOU FORGET ALMATY CITY IN KAZAKHSTAN LAST MAJOR QUAKE:9.1
*8.1 also its not 9.1 its not big
This is definitely Flight Simulator
Te falto el de 1985 en México, ese fue mas devastador.
First to like!
Secondddddddddddddddddddddddddddd
NEW.
YORK.
CITY.
❤❤❤
