Earthquake Alert: Dutch Scientist Predicts 'Strong Tremor' in Pakistan

A Dutch scientist has predicted that a “strong tremor” is likely to hit Pakistan within the next 48 hours. The scientist, Frank Hoogerbeets, is the director of the Solar System Geometry Survey (SSGEOS), a Netherlands-based organization that specializes in seismic predictions.

Hoogerbeets’ prediction is based on his analysis of fluctuations in electric charge in the atmosphere near sea level. He claims that these fluctuations can be used to identify regions where stronger seismic activity is likely to occur within a range of 1 to 9 days.

In a recent prediction, Hoogerbeets reported a significant surge in electric activity along the Chaman fault lines in Pakistan. This surge has sparked anticipation of a powerful earthquake occurring within the next 48 hours, causing concern among the local population.

The Chaman fault lines are a major seismic fault system that runs along the border between Pakistan and Afghanistan. The fault system is responsible for some of the largest and most destructive earthquakes in the region, including the 2005 Kashmir earthquake, which killed over 70,000 people.

While Hoogerbeets’ prediction has not been verified by other scientists, it is important to note that he has a history of accurate predictions. In 2022, he successfully predicted a magnitude 7.0 earthquake in Indonesia.

Authorities in Pakistan have issued a high alert in response to Hoogerbeets’ prediction. People have been advised to be prepared for an earthquake and to take all necessary precautions.

What to do in the event of an earthquake

  • If you are indoors, drop, cover, and hold on. Take cover under a sturdy table or desk and hold on until the shaking stops.
  • If you are outdoors, move away from buildings and other structures that could fall. Find a clear area where you can drop, cover, and hold on.
  • If you are driving, pull over to the side of the road and stop in a safe location. Stay in your car until the shaking stops.

After an earthquake, be aware of the potential for aftershocks. These can be just as strong as the main earthquake, so it is important to stay prepared.

If you live in an earthquake-prone area, it is important to have a plan in place. This should include a list of emergency supplies, a plan for communicating with loved ones, and a plan for where to go if your home is damaged.
