The overnight eruption of the Krasheninnikov Volcano in Kamchatka, its first in 600 years, may be connected to the huge earthquake that rocked Russia's Far East last week. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2025/08/03/world/kamchatka-quake-causes-volcano/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #kamchatka #volcano #earthquake
After a powerful earthquake struck off the coast of the Kamchatka Peninsula in Russia, tsunami centers along the Pacific coastline warned of the potential for colossal waves, but they never transpired. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/environment/2025/07/31/earth-science/powerful-earthquake-weak-tsunami/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #environment #earthscience #tsunami #oceans #earthquakes #kamchatka

AI-generated disinformation after the 8.8 #Kamchatka #earthquake is off the charts. Beyond the problem of Grok churning out false reports, #AIFakeAlerts & #AIDisasterFakes are flooding timelines.
Clearly, panic media is wholly destructive to public messaging. The one screenshotted shows an AI-gen girl abandoning her car in traffic. For a whole community who lived through the Maui fires, this touches real trauma.
⚠️ Please start tracking & taking screenshots of #DisasterDisinfo where you see it.

Reading this linked blog post about the M8.8 earthquake in Russia and triggering of the tsunami warning has been more insightful than any of the mass media coverage I've read on the same topic this morning:

On Sunday, the U.S. Geological Survey issued a tsunami alert, forecasting "hazardous waves" after a 7.4-magnitude quake at 0849 GMT, which was the strongest of a series of earthquakes in the northern Pacific Ocean. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2025/07/20/world/russia-tsunami-alert-lifted/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #kamchatka #russia #tsunami #earthquake
