Today's earthquake: A 4.0 magnitude earthquake hits Taiwan
An earthquake measuring 4.0 on the Richter scale shook Taiwan at 15:51 pm (local time) on Thursday, according to data from the Central Meteorological Administration.
The epicenter of the quake was located 10.2 km southwest of Taitung County Hall, at a shallow focal depth of 26.8 km, the earthquake authority said.
It is important to note that the island was hit by another earthquake measuring 6.1 on the Richter scale on April 23, according to data from the National Center for Seismology (NCS). The epicenter of the earthquake was at latitude 23.69 and longitude 121.85, and at a depth of 87 kilometers.
Meanwhile, Taiwan's government said today that it has approved about $878 million in earthquake relief aid after last month's earthquake that killed at least 17 people and damaged buildings and infrastructure, Agence France-Presse reported.
The 7.4-magnitude earthquake that struck the island on April 3 injured more than 1,100 people, but strict building codes and widespread disaster preparedness helped avert a larger disaster.
The quake caused massive landslides that closed tunnels and damaged roads and buildings, dealing a blow to tourism and business in the eastern city of Hualien, which is close to the epicenter.
Agence France-Presse quoted the Taiwan government as saying, “It will make every effort to rebuild homes and revitalize businesses, through an earthquake recovery and reconstruction plan worth NT$28.55 billion ($878 million).”
Under the project, NT$18.44 billion will be allocated for emergency repair and reconstruction of public facilities. The government said NT$5.84 billion is earmarked for resettlement and reconstruction of private homes damaged by the quake.
Another NT$4.08 billion will fund industrial revitalization, while NT$190 million will be allocated “for other insurance subsidies and employment assistance programs,” the Cabinet said.
“In the future, the central and local governments will work together… to ensure that people receive the fastest, most appropriate and timely assistance,” the Cabinet said in a statement.
