What happened to Cuba's power grid?
It’s been a rough year for Cuba. The island nation has suffered through a series of powerful storms, including two recent hurricanes that knocked out its power grid. And now, Cuba was hit with a 6.8 magnitude earthquake just off its southern coast Sunday, near the town of Bartolomé Masó in Granma Province.
Did Cuba get a quake?
And now, Cuba was hit with a 6.8 magnitude earthquake just off its southern coast Sunday, near the town of Bartolomé Masó in Granma Province. Preceded by a 5.9-magnitude tremor about an hour before the full quake hit, the earthquake caused damage throughout the eastern regions of the nation, including Santiago de Cuba, Guantánamo, and Holguín.
How do earthquakes affect communication?
Earthquake disasters can cause collapse of houses, damage to communication base stations towers and transmission lines, resulting in the disruption of communication services over a large area.
How many base stations were damaged in a quake?
According to post-earthquake statistics, a total of 14,896 base stations were damaged in the Wenchuan earthquake, 724 base stations were interrupted in the Lushan earthquake, 234 base stations were out of service in the Jiuzhaigou earthquake, and 385 base stations were interrupted in the Changning earthquake .
How to assess damage to mobile communication facilities during large earthquakes?
Ke et al. proposed a method for assessing damage to mobile communication facilities during large earthquakes. The study analyzed the impact of power outages and evaluated the damage caused by ground motion to base stations using fragility curves .
What factors affect a post-earthquake communication base station?
While ignoring that the damage of the post-earthquake communication base station is also related to many factors such as the geographical location of the base station, the distance from the earthquake source, the geography and geology between the earthquake source and the communication base station.
