#tsunamis en el Mar #Caribe son muy raros. los que han azotado al área oeste fueron consecuencias de temblores en el Atlántico. tiene que ser un terremoto bastante impactante para que pongan el alerta.
este #maremoto si le da a #PuertRico, puede que sea por el sureste; así que ojo desde #Vieques y #Culebra hasta el área de #Ponce.

How are #NaturalDisaster-resistant design elements integrated into #Solarpunk buildings?
Publication date: 2023-09-02
"In Solarpunk buildings, natural disaster-resistant design elements are integrated through a combination of passive and active design strategies. Here are a few ways in which these elements can be incorporated:
1. Site selection and orientation: Solarpunk buildings are typically situated in areas that are less susceptible to natural disasters like #floods, #earthquakes, or #tsunamis. Careful evaluation of the site's history and potential risks helps in choosing locations that are more resilient. Additionally, the building orientation can be optimized to maximize #NaturalLight and minimize exposure to prevailing #winds or #storms.
2. Structural reinforcements: Solarpunk buildings embrace resilient construction techniques to withstand natural disasters. This may include reinforced foundations, earthquake-resistant designs, hurricane-resistant materials, and robust structural systems that can withstand high winds, seismic activity, or even #ExtremeWeather events.
3. #GreenRoofs and #RainwaterHarvesting: Green roofs, which incorporate vegetation on the rooftop, offer several benefits when it comes to natural disaster resilience. They can help mitigate stormwater runoff, reducing the strain on existing drainage systems during heavy rainfalls or floods. Additionally, rainwater harvesting systems can be implemented to collect and store rainwater for future use, serving as an alternative water source during emergencies.
4. Passive climate control: Solarpunk design emphasizes #PassiveCooling and heating strategies to reduce energy consumption and reliance on mechanical systems. Natural ventilation through well-placed windows, louvers, or #RoofVents can help regulate indoor temperatures. By not relying heavily on air conditioning units, Solarpunk buildings can maintain habitability even during power outages caused by natural disasters.
5. #RenewableEnergy systems: Solarpunk buildings integrate renewable energy systems like solar panels or wind turbines to generate electricity on-site. This reduces dependence on centralized energy grids, making the building more self-sufficient and resilient in the face of power disruptions caused by natural disasters. Battery storage systems can also be incorporated to store excess energy and provide backup power during emergencies.
6. Water management and flood-resistance: Solarpunk buildings employ strategies such as permeable paving, #RainGardens, and water retention ponds to manage stormwater. These features help minimize the risk of flooding and prevent damage caused by heavy rains or #ExtremeWeather events.
"By combining these design elements, Solarpunk buildings aim to create sustainable and resilient structures that can better withstand the challenges posed by natural disasters."

Japan nuclear watchdog halts Tsuruga reactor safety assessment again
KYODO NEWS KYODO NEWS - Apr 5, 2023
"Nuclear regulators said Wednesday they will again halt a safety assessment of an offline central Japan reactor after its operator repeatedly submitted documents containing errors, further prolonging a process toward resumption that has already taken years.
"Japan Atomic Power Co. has been seeking approval to reboot the No.2 unit at the #Tsuruga plant in #Fukui Prefecture under stricter regulations imposed following the 2011 #Fukushima #NuclearPowerPlant disaster, but its application has been fraught with mistakes and #DataTampering.
"The Nuclear Regulation Authority considered forcing the operator to withdraw its safety review application, but it ended up deciding on another suspension, citing how restarting the process all over the again would only burden the regulator.
"While public concern over the safety of nuclear facilities lingers following the Fukushima disaster, triggered by a massive quake and tsunami, the government is pushing the use of nuclear power as part of efforts to secure a stable electricity supply amid the war in Ukraine.
"Among the more than 30 existing nuclear reactors in Japan, 10 have resumed operations after clearing the post-Fukushima disaster safety hurdles, while 10 are still under examination by the nuclear watchdog, according to government data.
"The Tsuruga nuclear power plant is a two-unit complex, with the No. 1 reactor set to be scrapped. Japan Atomic Power submitted the safety review application for the No. 2 unit in 2015.
"In 2019, the nuclear regulators found over 1,000 inaccuracies in the documents submitted for measures against #earthquakes and #tsunamis, followed by revelations in February 2020 that the operator had rewritten data analyzing a drilling survey conducted on an area below the Tsuruga complex premises without approval.
"After a two-year suspension of the safety review, assessments restarted but they have remained at a virtual standstill as the regulators discovered errors in the locations given for geological features over the past months.
"In quake-prone #Japan, building #NuclearPlants or other important facilities directly above active faults is prohibited.
"Geological experts for the Nuclear Regulation Authority previously stated that a fault running underneath the No. 2 reactor was active, although #JapanAtomicPower has rejected the claims."
