The earthquake in Haiti last January was devastating. Eight months later, massive flooding struck Pakistan. This is look at how countries and major organizations around the world responded to both disaster.

This infographic made by Juan Pablo Campusano graphic designer from Chile, Santiago. It shows us a month of the Twitter explosion in Chile right after the earthquake hit the country. He had the experience to live it, and the Twitter community made a strong impact by delivering information an movilizing people to help the ones who received no help.
Sadly, to this day there are still lots of people without a place to live.You can find more of Juan Pablo Campusano creative work from behance.Note: If you read this via Email or Feed-reader click Permalink below to download bigger image.
After the 2010 Canterbury Earthquake, a 7.1 magnitude earthquake near Christchurch, New Zealand, the region has been hit by hundreds of aftershocks - many of them widely felt around Christchurch, and some of which have caused further damage.
The Christchurch Quake Map on this website aims to present a time-lapse visualisation of the earthquake and its aftershocks, primarily to help those outside the affected area understand what those of us in Canterbury are experiencing. It plots earthquake data from GeoNet on a map using the Google Maps API, with the size of the circle denoting the magnitude (the higher the magnitude, the larger the circle) and the colour showing the focal depth (see the legend below the map).
An interactive map (built in ArcGIS) showing damaged infrastructure in and around Christchurch, New Zealand, after Saturday’s magnitude-7.1 earthquake.
An animation of six months of 2010 New Zealand earthquake data. Blue circles represent seismic activity recordings. Each event leaves behind a small red dot to show the overall pattern. The animation ends a few days after the 7.1 quake that hit Christchurch on September 4.
The figure is a scanned copy of bar graph of aftershocks following the large quake. Note the tall line at the far left of the chart. That is not the Y axis – that’s the big one.

This infographic was done after the earthquake in Haiti to explain how earthquakes happen and why they occur more often in some places than others.

U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) national seismic-hazard map, earthquake hazards exist throughout the United States. USGS national and regional seismic-hazard maps forecast the amount of shaking expected over specified time periods. Many parts of the Central and Eastern United States have moderate to high long-term hazard, even though they have not experienced recent large quakes. Successive updates of USGS seismic-hazard maps are used to revise building codes and are also widely used by structural engineers and government agencies. The next generation of such maps will provide time-dependent probabilities that take into account the effects of prior quake occurrence on future earthquake likelihood.
