The population in the area of this earthquake is 0 people/km?.

The earthquake occurred at 0h local time. At this time a day, more people are at home and therefore more vulnerable to collapsing residential buildings. During traffic hours, people can be affected by collapsing bridges and other road infrastructure.

Resilience and Vulnerability

Resilience is the capacity of the population to cope with a hazard. Since much of investments in earthquake preparedness and available funds for quick response is related to household income, the GDP per capita can be used as a rough indicator of resilience.

Vanuatu has a GDP per capita of 1347 PPP$ (Parity Purchasing Power Dollar, about 1 Euro) and is therefore part of the low level income countries. Therefore, the earthquake happened in an area of low resilience.

Based on the combination of 9 indicators, ECHO attributes Vanuatu a low vulnerability.

Secondary effects

Probability of secondary effects:

Landslides: The maximum slope in the area of the earthquake is 0% and the maximum altitude is 25 m. Since this is a low slope, the risk of earthquake induced landslides is low. Note, however, that the slope data is not reliable on a local scale, while landslides depend very much on local topography, soil and meteorological conditions.
Nuclear power plants: There are no nuclear facilities nearby the epicenter.
Hydrodams: There are no hydrodam facilities nearby the epicenter.

[CrisisAlert] Burns Lake BC - Update - Number of injured dynamic - RCMP reports some critical - Northern Health system on disaster alert

2012-01-21T15:59:00.001+02:00

http://www.globaltvbc.com/burns+lake+mill+destroyed+by+fire+and+explosion/6442564155/story.html

The explosion, involving either natural gas or propane, occurred around 8:15 Friday night. There are no reports of fatalities at this time but unconfirmed reports have three people missing. Steve Raper with Northern Health, which has mobilized resources across the northern region, has this information about the injured:

--18 were taken by ambulance to Burns Lake.

--2 have gone to Vanderhoof.

--4 to Fraser Lake.

--4 to Smithers.

Raper says the range of injuries is quite wide, and some of the victims will be transported to University Hospital of Northern BC once they have been stabilized. University Hospital has been placed on "CODE ORANGE", meaning all services and physicians have been activated to deal with the injured as they come in. Raper says there have been some reports of walk-ins at Lakes District Hospital in Burns Lake, but he has no numbers on that at this time.

Relatives of the blast victims have been told to go to the Margaret Patrick Memorial Hall in Burns Lake to get word on their loved ones. The Steelworkers Union is getting transportation together for those who wish to travel with their injured relatives to hospitals in other communities.

The United Steelworkers Union says up to 25 people would have been working in the sawmill, another 20 in the planer mill, and there would also be maintenance workers on site for a possible 80 people at the operation at the time of the explosion.

[CrisisAlert] Updating Burns Lake BC - Local hospital overwhelmed with casualties - 10 sent to Prince Georges (2 hrs+ away) for severe burns

2012-01-21T15:53:00.001+02:00

[CrisisAlert] Burns Lake BC - Explosion at sawmill - At least 19 injured - Reports that number of injured may be as high as 28 -

2012-01-21T15:49:00.001+02:00

At least 19 people were taken to hospitals with minor to serious injuries after an explosion and fire tore through the Babine Forest Products mill, east of Burns Lake, B.C., a health-care official said Saturday.

Burns Lake RCMP responded to reports of an explosion at the mill around 8:15 p.m. PT Friday. Initial reports gave a higher injury count of 28, but Northern Health spokesman Steve Raper revised the number early Saturday.

It was a normal shift and the mill, 220 kilometres west of Prince George, was fully staffed when the blast occurred, according to police. Workers reported smelling gas moments before the explosion. There are unconfirmed reports it may have been a natural gas explosion.

The Lakes District Hospital in Burns Lake quickly became overwhelmed and several of the injured were taken to Prince George for treatment, while a few went to the hospital in nearby Vanderhoof.

Others had to be transported to hospitals as far away as Edmonton and Vancouver.

Texas Gov. Rick Perry announced Thursday he is dropping out of the Republican presidential race and is endorsing the candidacy of former House Speaker Newt Gingrich.

Perry’s announcement, which he called a "strategic retreat," comes two days before Saturday's crucial South Carolina primary, where polls show a close race between Gingrich and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney.

"I have come to the conclusion that there is no viable path forward for me in this 2012 campaign," Perry told followers in South Carolina.

In endorsing his formal rival, he said, "I believe that Newt is a conservative visionary who can transform our country. We have had our differences, which campaigns will inevitably have. Newt is not perfect, but who among us is?"

The four remaining GOP candidates face off in a debate on CNN tonight at 8 p.m. ET.

Texas Gov. Rick Perry has told supporters he is dropping his Republican presidential bid Thursday, two sources told CNN. Perry's campaign has scheduled an 11 a.m. ET news conference Thursday in North Charleston, South Carolina.

Perry entered the Republican race in August and immediately jumped to the top of most polls, but a series of poor performances in debates sent his numbers crashing in subsequent surveys.

After a poor showing in the Iowa caucuses, Perry announced he was returning to Texas to "reassess" his campaign but decided a few days later to continue and concentrate his efforts on South Carolina, which holds its primary Saturday.

Perry virtually skipped last week’s New Hampshire primary, where he finished last with 1% of the vote. Most polls in South Carolina show Perry trailing the field, with his poll numbers in single digits.

Watch complete coverage of Perry’s news conference on CNN.com and on CNN TV with analysis from Wolf B litzer, Candy Crowley, John King, Gloria Borger and Suzanne Malveaux.

Iowa Republican Party Chairman Matt Strawn released the certified the results Thursday, two weeks after the closest presidential caucuses in Iowa history.

In the initial returns, Romney had claimed victory with an eight-vote margin over Santorum.

Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney said Thursday that a new tally from the Iowa caucus resulted in a "virtual tie" between him and Rick Santorum.

His statement came after the Des Moines Register newspaper reported Santorum wound up with a 34-vote advantage over Romney, though the paper said results from several precincts were missing and there are "too many holes" in the certified totals to know the victor for certain.

With three days to go until the South Carolina primary, Mitt Romney's lead over Newt Gingrich is shrinking, according to a new CNN/Time/ORC International poll.

Romney holds a 10-point lead over Gingrich among likely primary voters, the poll indicates, but that's down from the 19-point lead Romney had just two weeks ago. The survey showed Romney at 33% and Gingrich at 23%. Former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum stands at 16%, U.S. Rep. Ron Paul of Texas is at 14% and Texas Gov. Rick Perry is at 6%.

The survey was released on the eve of the CNN-Southern Republican presidential debate, the final showdown among the candidates before Saturday's primary. That will be the third contest in the primary and caucus calendar and the first in the South.

The poll also surveyed likely voters in Florida's GOP presidential primary, which follows South Carolina on January 31, and found that Romney still holds a commanding lead there with 43% of l ikely voters backing Romney while Santorum stood at 19%, Gingrich at 18%, Paul at 9% and Perry at 2%.

The Obama administration rejected a bid to expand the Keystone XL oil sands pipeline.

President Obama said in a written statement the denial "is not a judgment on the merits of the pipeline, but the arbitrary nature of a deadline (set by Congress) that prevented the State Department from gathering the information necessary to approve the project and protect the American people."

The pipeline may not be dead. A State Department memo said "the department's denial of the permit application does not preclude any subsequent permit application."

"This is not the end of the fight," said House Speaker John Boehner, adding that the pipeline was "good for the American people, especially those who are looking for work."

The Obama administration will likely announce its opposition to the controversial Keystone pipeline project as early as today, according to a Democratic source briefed on the matter.

Though House Speaker John Boehner's office has not yet been informed of the White House decision, the speaker said today that, "This is not good for our country. The president wants to put this off until it's convenient for him to make a decision. That means after the next election. The fact is the American people are asking the question right now, 'Where are the jobs?'"

The proposed Keystone pipeline has been caught up in Washington politics since Republicans inserted a clause in the payroll tax cut extension negotiations last year to try to force an earlier decision on the project. The White House had tried to push the decision until 2013 after the coming presidential election.

The pipeline would run from northern Alberta, Canada, to the Texas Gulf Coast. Republicans a nd some unions support the project because of its job creation prospects. The administration points to environmental reviews still under way, and opponents express concerns about its furthering the nation's dependency on oil.

The earthquake occurred at 21h local time. At this time a day, more people are at home and therefore more vulnerable to collapsing residential buildings. During traffic hours, people can be affected by collapsing bridges and other road infrastructure.

Resilience and Vulnerability

Philippines has a GDP per capita of 1137 PPP$ (Parity Purchasing Power Dollar, about 1 Euro) and is therefore part of the low level income countries. Therefore, the earthquake happened in an area of low resilience.

Based on the combination of 9 indicators, ECHO attributes Philippines a medium vulnerability.

Eight in 10 Americans continue to believe the economy is in poor shape, and just less than half think President Barack Obama is doing a good job, according to the latest CNN/ORC International Poll.

The poll showed a dramatic drop in those who said economic conditions are "very poor" -- from 51% in November to 38% today. But most of those people switched their assessment from "very poor" to "somewhat poor."

Meanwhile, Obama's approval rating was largely unchanged since mid-December, with 47% now approving of how Obama is handling his job, compared with 49% a month ago.

A total of 29 people are still unaccounted for from Italian cruise ship Costa Concordia, Italian coast guard chief Marco Brusco said in a television interview, according to the state ANSA news agency.

Still missing are four crew members and 25 passengers. Authorities earlier said 16 people were missing.

The ship hit rocks Friday night off Italy's western coast, killing at least six people.

Rescue efforts resumed earlier Monday after being temporarily suspended when the partially sunken vessel began to move, officials said.

President Barack Obama and former Gov. Mitt Romney are statistically tied in a hypothetical general election matchup, according to the latest CNN/ORC International Poll.

In the poll, Obama shows signs of weakness on the economy, while Romney is seen by some as out of touch with ordinary Americans.

Obama is also virtually tied with Rep. Ron Paul but has a solid lead over Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich in hypothetical head-to-head matchups.

Also in the poll, more respondents think Romney is better suited to get the economy back on track than Obama, 53% to 40%.

The poll was conducted on January 11-12 after Romney won the New Hampshire primary.

Former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman today announced he is suspending his campaign for the Republican presidential nomination and will endorse front-runner Mitt Romney.

While the more moderate Huntsman hasn't had much support in the polls in conservative South Carolina, which holds its primary Saturday, his decision to pull out could provide a critical extra cushion of votes for Romney, who is facing stiff conservative competition there from Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich.

Romney's campaign -- already bolstered by a huge campaign war chest and a wave of momentum after wins in Iowa and New Hampshire -- is hoping for a possible knockout blow if the former Massachusetts governor finishes first in the Palmetto State. South Carolina has picked the winner of every GOP presidential nomination fight since 1980.

The population in the area of this earthquake is 0 people/km?.

The earthquake occurred at 9h local time. At this time a day, more people are at work and therefore more vulnerable to collapsing office buildings. During traffic hours, people can be affected by collapsing bridges and other road infrastructure.

Resilience and Vulnerability

Antarctica has a GDP per capita of 0 PPP$ (Parity Purchasing Power Dollar, about 1 Euro) and is therefore part of the unknown level income countries. Therefore, the earthquake happened in an area of unknown resilience.

Based on the combination of 9 indicators, ECHO attributes Antarctica a low vulnerability.

Secondary effects

Probability of secondary effects:

Landslides: The maximum slope in the area of the earthquake is 16.313% and the maximum altitude is 562 m. Since this is a low slope, the risk of earthquake induced landslides is low. Note, however, that the slope data is not reliable on a local scale, while landslides depend very much on local topography, soil and meteorological conditions.
Nuclear power plants: There are no nuclear facilities nearby the epicenter.
Hydrodams: There are no hydrodam facilities nearby the epicenter.

The New England Patriots don't give Tim Tebow the chance for a miracle in a 45-10 playoff rout of the Denver Broncos.

Patriots quarterback Tom Brady passed for 5 touchdowns in the first half as New England rolled to a 35-7 lead at halftime. He finished with 363 yards and 6 touchdowns.

Tebow was just 9 for 26 for 136 yards and no touchdowns.

Tebow is an outspoken evangelical Christian whose penchant for last-minute heroics this season gave him a reputation as a miracle worker.

Denver won last week's playoff game against the Steelers when Tebow connected with Demaryius Thomas for an 80-yard touchdown on the first play of overtime.

Tebow took over the Broncos quarterback reins after a Week 4 shellacking by the Green Bay Packers. Denver went 7-5 the rest of the season, including a run of six straight wins, some in the final minutes, to reach the playoffs.

Two survivors trapped inside the Costa Concordia more than 24 hours after it ran aground off an Italian island have been rescued, Italy's ANSA news agency reported early Sunday.

The ship carried some 2.300 passemgers. Three people died, 20 were injured and dozens are unaccounted for.

The Costa Concordia's Italian captain was arrested late Saturday, and a local prosecutor is looking into whether he should be charged with abandoning ship and manslaughter. The captain, Francesco Schettino, was interviewed earlier Saturday about what happened when the ship struck rocks in shallow waters.

Schettino said "that rock was not indicated on the chart," according to ANSA. "Me and the crew, we were the last to abandon ship."
