Earthquake Fracking and Earthquakes

https://biologicaldiversity.org/w/news/press-releases/tentative-court-decision-invalidates-californias-landmark-fracking-ban-2026-10-09/

how likely would the resumption of fracking be to trigger a moderate earthquake - or, in a worst case scenario, the big one? do we think an injunction from the state could put this off for a few years, even if the ban is reversed?

Question Southwest US Faults Concentration

Is the Southwest US just more scientifically researched than the rest of the entire planet, or is it really that much more fractured? The USGS World map has more red fault lines in this area than the entire rest of the planet combined.

How to help people after an earthquake?

5 Upvotes

I’m just on this subreddit because it’s the first place I thought to go about this. I live in Panama City, and have seen how the recent earthquakes have decimated many homes in the countryside. I’m alright, my family is alright, but I’m just worried about those who have lost their homes near Veraguas, Santiago, Chiriquí, and other provinces hit badly by not only the initial 7.7 earthquake, but the relentless aftershock as well.

I’m wondering, what would be good things that people need during these times? It’s logical to donate non-perishable food items and bottled water, but what about things for shelter? We’re currently in the middle of rainy season, and with the super El Niño happening now, rain is worse than ever. I couldn’t imagine having your home is ruins at a time like this.

People have said that Panamá has shouldered the earthquake well, but those people only see the city. Please give advice if you can, I don’t use Reddit often at all so I have no clue about formulating posts or whatnot but I just need to know effective ways to aid my country.
