Earthquake warning issued for Reykjavik
The Department for Civil Protection issued a warning on Friday that heightened seismic activity on Reykjanes peninsula, approximately 60 km (37 miles) southwest of Reykjavík, in the past weeks, may lead to an earthquake of up to 6.5 magnitude in the near future.

A 4.0 magnitude earthquake, which hit near Lake Kleifarvatn in late May, could widely be felt in the capital region. A 6.5 magnitude earthquake may cause minor damages to properties and cause rockfalls in caves and mountains, the press release points out.

“Analysis of earthquakes swarms indicates that instability may exist from Kleifarvatn and east to Ölfus. Measuring of movements in the earth’s crust in the past years also indicates that there may be tension in this area, which can lead to larger quakes.”

“Historical information indicates that earthquakes in this area can reach up to magnitude 6.5. Among other events, earthquakes around magnitude 6.0 hit in the Bláfjöll mountain area in 1929 and 1968. These quakes did not cause much damage in the capital region but it should be pointed out that houses have been built much closer to the seismically-active area in the past years.”

“It is to be expected that the impact of an earthquake of this magnitude in nearby communities (the capital region, Grindavík, Þorlákshöfn, Hveragerði and Reykjanesbær) will include that everyone can feel the earthquake, cause many people to be frightened and even evacuate buildings. Heavy furniture may shift and plastering on walls may crack in some places. Otherwise, not much damage is expected in well-built houses.”

The Department for Civil Protection recommends that each home and workplace is reviewed to limit danger in the case of an earthquake. Guidelines on preventive measures and how to respond during an earthquake can be found on the website almannavarnir.is and on YouTube.

Major quake in Bay Area 'any day now'
(CBS SF) — The fault that produced a 4.0-magnitude earthquake in Fremont early Tuesday morning is expected to produce a major earthquake “any day now” and Bay Area residents should be prepared, a U.S. Geological Survey scientist said.

The 2:41 a.m. earthquake on the border of Fremont and Union City occurred on the Hayward Fault at a depth of 5 miles. The epicenter was at a spot just north of the intersection of Niles Canyon Road and Mission Boulevard.

The quake caused some BART delays early Tuesday while work crews checked the tracks, but appears to have caused no major damage. At least 13 smaller quakes or aftershocks had been reported near the same location as of 6:42 a.m., the largest of which was a 2.7-magnitude at 2:56 a.m.

While damage from the quake was minimal, scientists warn that a much larger one is expected on the Hayward Fault, which extends from San Pablo Bay in the north to Fremont in the south and passes through heavily populated areas including Berkeley, Oakland, Hayward and Fremont.
The last big earthquake on the fault, estimated to have a 6.8-magnitude, occurred in 1868, according to the USGS.
It killed about 30 people and caused extensive property damage in the Bay Area, particularly in the city of Hayward, from which the fault derives its name. Until the larger 1906 earthquake, it was widely referred to as the “Great San Francisco Earthquake.”

“The population is now 100 times bigger in the East Bay, so we have many more people that will be impacted,” said Tom Brocher, a research geophysicist with the USGS.

“We keep a close eye on the Hayward Fault because it does sit in the heart of the Bay Area and when we do get a big earthquake on it, it’s going to have a big impact on the entire Bay Area,” Brocher said.
While a 2008 report put the probability of a 6.7-magnitude or larger earthquake on the Hayward-Rodgers Creek Fault system over the next 30 years at 31 percent, Brocher said the reality is a major quake is expected on the fault “any day now.”

“The past five major earthquakes on the fault have been about 140 years apart, and now we’re 147 years from that 1868 earthquake, so we definitely feel that could happen any time,” Brocher said.
Brocher urged residents to take steps to prepare for a major earthquake.

The USGS shake map shows residents in the areas close to Fremont and Union City experienced light shaking in Tuesday morning’s event, while weaker shaking might have been felt in areas as far south as Santa Cruz, up the Peninsula and as far east as Livermore.
Residents throughout the Bay Area reported feeling the quake, with responses concentrated in the East and South Bay, according to the USGS.

Brocher said Tuesday morning’s 4.0 earthquake was not likely to have much of an impact one way or the other on the likelihood of a major earthquake occurring on the same fault
