Ohio Officials Putting In Place Earthquake Preparedness Plans
January 4, 2012 5:11 PM
PITTSBURGH (KDKA) There were 11 earthquakes in eastern Ohio in 2011.
Most of them were not very powerful and caused little damage, but some people are asking about emergency plans if a major quake hits the area.
The new phenomenon of earthquakes in eastern Ohio is puzzling many people.
Some geologists say that discarded brine used while drilling for natural gas is being injected near fault lines. It acts as a lubricant, inducing the earthquakes.
Emergency management officials in and near Youngstown say they have a general plan that covers any and all emergencies.
Specific to that, earthquakes are so broad in category that we dont have a one-on-one say do this, do this, do this. It falls under that emergency operations plan, said Clark Jones, of the Mahoning County EMA.
Jones says officials near Youngstown worked together to create a checklist for earthquake preparedness.
It gives a general outline of what to do prior to earthquakes to be prepared for them if youre in an area thats prone to earthquakes, which we seem to be all of a sudden, he said.
Officials say they have dealt with many different kinds of natural disasters, but never expected an earthquake like the one on New Years Eve. Their goal now is to better prepare in the future.
So now, since Saturday, the fire department and myself and my fire officers are sitting down and were coming up we have to come up with a preparedness plan. An earthquake specific disaster response plan for the Village, said Chief Nick Kish, of the McDonald Village Fire Department.
Officials say they are monitoring the area carefully since Saturdays earthquake, and although theres no proof that fracking has anything to do with the earthquakes, they are also working with companies that are doing hydraulic fracking in the area.
We have state meetings scheduled as soon as the 13th to make sure that our plans encompass everything, Jones said.
The most powerful earthquake was on New Years Eve. It measured 4.0 in magnitude.

Royal Dutch Shell conspired directly with Hitler, financed the Nazi Party, was anti-Semitic and sold out its own Dutch Jewish employees to the Nazis. Shell had a close relationship with the Nazis during and after the reign of Sir Henri Deterding, an ardent Nazi, and the founder and decades long leader of the Royal Dutch Shell Group. His burial ceremony, which had all the trappings of a state funeral, was held at his private estate in Mecklenburg, Germany. The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honored personal guest would be rewarded with a private four day meeting at Hitler’s mountain top retreat.
