Earthquake

While South Africa is less seismically active than other regions, it has experienced at least five events with a magnitude of six or greater since 1800. In 1969 a Richter magnitude 6.3 earthquake north-east of Capetown virtually destroyed Tulbagh leaving many homes and businesses in ruin. To help manage this risk, Impact Forecasting developed a seismic model for the region.
