After the earthquakes that took place in Kahramanmaraş on February 6, the earthquake scientist Prof. Dr. Naci Görür made evaluations on the agenda in a television program he participated in. Görür made new predictions for İzmir, where we lost more than 100 citizens in 2020.
It must be said that the statements made by Naci Görür are both hopeful and worrying. Because the scientist says that earthquakes around 6.0 are very likely for İzmir. With this; According to Naci Görür, an earthquake of 7.0 and above is a rare possibility for İzmir.
Naci Görür’s statement about İzmir is as follows:
Earthquakes in İzmir are generally at the level of 6.0. So it can be 6.6, 6.2 and lower. Great earthquakes have been preached in historical times, but I don’t think it happened on the Izmir Peninsula. Because Izmir has a bad luck. If there is an earthquake in the Aegean Sea, it is costed to Izmir. Look, the earthquake happened in Samos, 6.8 happened in Greece, we know it as the Izmir earthquake. My belief is that İzmir will most likely be in the 6.0’s. In other words, an earthquake above 7.0 in İzmir may be rare. Depending on the work of the Izmir Fault.
Let’s make a reminder in parallel with Naci Görür’s statement. Izmir Metropolitan Municipality recently took a step towards rapid screening tests. Within the scope of this step, all citizens who wish will be able to have the building they live in tested free of charge. For detailed information, you can check our news here.
