- At the end of the conference, the United Nations announced the creation of a worldwide system of emergency.

- It is important to say that many areas of the world are deprived of it. Such as the Mediterranean Basin.

- However, there is a real seismic risk. Patrice Pele, Patrice Voigt.

- 2,500,000 square meters, the Mediterranean is five-fold the size of France.

- And 230 kilometers deep, under the earth crust, the tectonic plates are only waiting for one thing: to move.

- Paul Taponnier, expert at the Globe Institute, is formal: the Mediterranean will be talked about, but not anywhere.

- That is Paris. What we can see very well, it is the big difference that exists between the west of the Mediterranean, on the west of Italy, where there are very few earthquakes,

- movements that are of only a few millimeters every year, only; and the east of the Mediterranean where there are many earthquakes.

- In France in Nice, the 1979 tidal wave cost 11 workers their lives. Their building sites was devastated by a wave.

- Still a tidal wave, but when we look at the maps, according to the specialists, the French Riviera is not immediately threatened.

- The zones of all the risks is rather located on the other side. More precisely, offshore Greece and Turquey.

- The east Mediterranean where the movements are more rapid, up to 3 centimeters per year, and where the earthquakes are more frequent and bigger.

- What happens here has an explanation. The African plate gets deeper of a few centimeters every year under the Aegean plate. There is a real risk of tsunami.

- A tsunami that will crush on the coast of Libya and Egypt in less that half an hour.

- In the Mediterranean, there is no system dedicated to the surveillance of earthquakes and to the making of possible tidal waves.

- May be we should think of it as nobody forgot that this was an earthquake that destroyed Alexandria lighthouse.
