Abstract eng:
Geomorphologic ally, North East India is located in an earthquake prone zone (zone v) of the Indian subcontinent. In this region earthquake comes with land sliding flood and along with series of smaller magnitude earthquakes. Here earthquakes of up to MM intensity IX can be expected. According to a hazard map produced by the Global Seismic Hazard Assessment Programmed, the North East India can expect to have a peak ground acceleration (PGA) of 0.24g to 0.48g. Therefore we should prepare ourselves to meet the eventuality.
