Seismic Center Repeats Warning Of Major Earthquake
ST JOHN’S, Antigua and Barbuda, Monday May 14, 2012 – The magnitude 4.0 earthquake recorded off the coast of Antigua last Friday (May 11) is a warning that the Caribbean should prepare for a much more severe earthquake to come.
This warning has again been sounded by the Seismic Research Unit in Trinidad and Tobago.
In confirming that an earthquake occurred 50 miles east of the Antigua and Barbuda capital around 5 a.m, seismologist Dr Joan Latchman reportedly stated that the region has not seen its largest earthquake for more than a century and, based on the historical data that indicated that the region has recorded a major earthquake every 100 years, the islands of the English-speaking Caribbean were overdue for one.
Dr Latchman has stated that the pattern in which earthquakes have occurred in the region has been consistent, although authorities cannot predict when and where it will happen.
This time last year the Trinidadian seismologist also warned residents of the region to brace for a major earth movement.
Speaking during a three-day visit to Nevis to make a presentation on disaster preparedness, Dr Latchman said Caribbean islands lie in an area of relatively high earthquake activity and that an earthquake of 8.0 could hit the Caribbean any day based on the patterns previously recorded.
According to the Seismic Research Centre, there have been a number of small earthquake activities taking place off Antigua & Barbuda although they have not been felt by residents.
Philmore Mullin, head of the National Office of Disaster Services has stated that Antigua & Barbuda would not only be very vulnerable to earthquakes but also tsunamis.
The region was earlier this month put on notice to prepare for tsunamis by the Intergovernmental Oceanic Commission of UNESCO.

The Caribbean has yet again been put on notice to prepare for tsunamis.
This warning comes two years ahead of a planned warning system for the region from Assistant Director-General, Wendy Watson-Wright at the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission.
Watson-Wright has urged the Caribbean’s 40 million people to take cases of a tsunami seriously as it was not a case of “when and not if” an earthquake triggered tsunami or one caused by volcanic activity will strike.
She is quoted as saying: “Lurking beneath the azure waters that wash up on countless coastal and island beaches and vacation spots are the potential for a devastating tsunami,” she said.
According to reports, Watson-Wring made the point that since 1498 there were at least 94 tsunamis with run-ups in the Caribbean causing 4, 652 deaths.
She added that the Indian Ocean Tsunami Early Warning System, coordinated through UNESCO-IOC saved lives in the region following an 8.6 magnitude earthquake off northern Indonesia.
She stressed that education programmes allowed those living in coastal communities to mobilise early and move to higher ground.
The Caribbean’s early warning system is expected to be in place by 2014 and will be located in Puerto Rico. Once implemented, it will enhance the Caribbean’s ability to evaluate data and ensure that timely information is passed onto authorities so they can advise the public

Montserrat Needs To Think Green In Architectural Design, Says Island’s Only Female Architect
KINGSTON, Jamaica (GIU) — Financial constraints should not restrict architects from finding ways to “Go Green” on Montserrat, says Public Works Department (PWD) architect designate Linda Dias.
Dias recently sat on a panel of guest critics for the final design studio presentations of the first and second year Bachelor of Arts in Architectural Studies at her alma mater, the Caribbean School of Architecture at UTech in Jamaica.
The panel consisted of some of the student’s lecturers, including two Jamaicans who have worked as architects at the PWD for the government of Montserrat, David Cuthbert and Vivian Gordon.
Students were required to design a dwelling for an array of characters that included a personal physiotherapist and her family, an artist and her family, an elderly couple, and a young professional couple.
“These presentations were based primarily on implementing sustainable elements into the designs for a number of different characters in multiple site locations. In Montserrat, we tend to design in a vacuum – being forced (because of financial constraints) to consider the present, with very little consideration being lent to future maintenance and self-sustainability of our island’s built environment,” Dias noted.
“If we are able to enhance key elements in our architectural designs such as passive cooling, implementing the use of more sustainable materials and construction techniques — and even properly strategizing our rainwater collection and distribution, we will be able to see a vast reduction in our annual maintenance expenses.
“Green Architecture” isn’t just about installing solar panels and including more vegetation into our designs – it’s about considering the future of our structures as much as we consider their present.”
Dias, who is the only local female architect on island, works for the government of Montserrat and also runs her own local design firm Aeon Studios.
