The KMT is also set to launch large-scale street speeches in 22 counties and cities.

Strong earthquakes and tsunamis have become a major concern in recent years due to events like the 2011 Japan earthquake and the 2023 Turkey-Syria border earthquake. Scientists are closely monitoring the Cascadia region along the U.S. Pacific Northwest coast, where two tectonic plates are squeezing against each other, potentially triggering a catastrophic magnitude 9 earthquake and a tsunami over 12 meters high. Research published in Science Advances describes the area as one of the most dangerous on Earth, with a particular focus on the geometry and potential risks of the fault off Washington state. Using advanced technology, researchers are mapping the underwater geology to help predict and prepare for potential seismic events. The study underscores the need for deeper understanding of the region's geological activity to mitigate the impact of future disasters.
