4.x l to 5.x earthquakes are still happening a few times a week and the area couldn't recover from disaster. last week, one 4 stories building next to my friend house collapsed,near Mandalay.

Does that mean Myanmar is now an active zone?

The rules for building in these areas should be way more strict than they are. A 4.x earthquake in Japan is just another normal day for them.

Rules? well .. we don't even have a real government now. The country is in revolution. Who writes the Rule is whoever who have more firepower or whoever who is closer to Junta. None of the rules works, everything can be bribed to junta.

None of the thing that rational government does works here anymore.

Whoever come inspect the buildings can be bribed with a few hundreds dollars.

It's always been active. The Sagaing fault is a plate boundary. You're seeing the "side" of the Indian subcontinent slamming northward into the Eurasian plate.

Maybe they should declare war on India until the stop that.

We are already at fullscale revolution .. civil war ..
