Another Earthquake prediction in Pakistan revolves around social media. According to the Dutch scientist Frank Hoogerbeets, Pakistan is expected to receive a strong earthquake within 48 hours.
A magnitude 6.8 earthquake struck the Afghanistan-Tajikistan border region earlier this year, sending shockwaves across and into neighboring nations such as Pakistan, India, Afghanistan, and China.

The Dutch SSGEOS employee has a history of accurate earthquake forecasting, including the prediction of this year’s devastating earthquake in Turkey, which killed more than 47,000.
The scientist has recently predicted a solid earthquake to occur within the next 48 hours, based on reports of a significant increase of electric activity along Chaman fault lines.
According to the report, scientists have detected electric charge variations near the ocean’s surface, suggesting that the area surrounding Pakistan and Afghanistan could feel violent earthquakes in the coming days.
Also, it was clarified that the outlined regions are merely estimates and that there is currently no dependable means to pinpoint their precise positions.
PMD has previously said that there is no scientific basis for earthquake predictions and so discounted such claims.
PDM ( Pakistan Meteorological Department) Reaction to Earthquake Prediction in Pakistan
“No global agency has issued us an earthquake warning or provided us with any advice,” PMD says
The Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) denied on social media that predicting seismic activity correctly is impossible. This was in response to rumors that Pakistan would have a very big earthquake.
The PMD issued its denial on Monday after social media users cited the Solar System Geometry Survey (SSGEOS) and a Dutch scientist named Frank Hoogerbeets, who “recorded” a significant surge in electric activity along the fault lines in Balochistan’s Chaman as warning that a potential catastrophic seismic event could occur in Pakistan.
The experts had dismissed the allegations then, claiming they lacked a scientific basis.

Safety Measures During an Earthquake
Stay inside if you are inside.
During an earthquake, DO NOT run outside or to other rooms. Stay where you are; you’re less likely to get hurt.
Do the following things to lower your risk of getting hurt:
- If you can, get away from glass, hanging items, bookcases, china cabinets, and other big pieces of furniture that could fall quickly in the few seconds before the shaking gets worse.
- Keep an eye out for things that could fall, like light fixtures, wall hangings, high shelves, and cabinets with doors that could swing open.
- If there is something close, use it to protect your head and face from things that might fall or break.
- If you are in the kitchen, turn off the stove immediately and hide when you feel the ground shake.
- If you are in bed, hold on and stay there. Use a pillow to protect your head.
In a tall building, you should descend, cover your head and cling on.
- Stay away from windows and walls that face the outside.
- Don’t leave the building.
- DO NOT go up or down the stairs. The sprinklers may turn on when the power goes out.
Do not panic if you are stuck. Tap on hard or metal parts of the building to try to get someone’s attention. This could make it more likely that someone will come and save you.
Drop, cover, and hold on if you are in a busy place.
- Do not rush to get to the doors. A lot of people will think the same way.
- Stay away from show shelves where things could fall.
- Grab something undercover to protect your face and head from falling glass and other things if you can.
If you are outside, stay there.
- Stay away from structures, power lines, sinkholes, and gas and fuel lines. The most dangerous places for falling objects are right outside doors and against the outside walls of buildings.
- Get out into the open, away from buildings, trees, and telephone poles. Stay down low until the shaking stops once you’re out in the open.
- The most dangerous place to be is near the outside walls of a house. Most of the time, the first parts of a building to fall are the windows, facades, and architectural features. Stay away from this dangerous area.
If you’re traveling, Stop your car as quickly and safely as possible if it is moving.
- Put your car on the shoulder or the curb, away from power poles, overhead lines, and bridges that go over or under other vehicles.
- Put your foot on the brake and stay in the car. A car on springs may shake a lot, but it’s still an excellent place to wait until the shaking stops.
- The radio will tell you what to do in an emergency.
- Stay inside the car if a power line falls on it until a trained person takes the wire away.
- When it’s safe to drive again, be aware of the damage caused by the earthquake, such as potholes in the road, downed power poles and lines, rising water levels, overpasses that have fallen, and bridges that have entirely collapsed.
Survival Guide for Earthquakes
Food and Water
- Everyone in an earthquake country needs food and water. Keep water in plastic bottles.
- Store canned items from different food groups and a can opener. Choose healthy snacks like almonds, peanut butter, crackers, and cereal.
- Avoid rice and pasta, which require more than a little hot water. Stay with instant coffee, tea, or muesli. Restock your food once a year. Keeping vitamins on hand can also help.
First Aid Kit
- A first-aid kit is essential for injuries. Minor earthquake injuries include stumbling on broken glass or hurting an ankle.
- Buying or making a proper first-aid kit should consist of disinfectants, gauze, gloves, bandages, a thermometer, and other essentials.
- Prescriptions and nonprescription painkillers, antacids, and abdominal/intestinal medications should be kept on hand.
- For comfort and illness prevention, thorough sanitation is essential. Stock up on toilet paper, soaps, hand sanitizers, waste bags, bleach, and disinfectants.
Clothes and Personal Documents
- After eating, drinking, and staying healthy, we need clothes, tools, and personal documents.
- If the heat fails, a nice sweater and solid shoes will keep you warm and protect you from nails, glass, and other risks.
- Put your glasses near your bed and a backup pair in your kit in case of a tremor.
- You should also have blankets, flashlights (with fresh batteries), tape, a wrench or other instrument to turn off the gas, cash, a fire extinguisher, and a battery- or hand-operated radio.
- Passports, IDs, family data, bank account info, wills, and other essential documents should be kept safe.
