The Associated Press reports that yesterday, September 1, an earthquake interrupted a meeting in the Liechtenstein Parliament, which discussed the need for earthquake insurance.
Immediately before the incident, legislator Bettina Petzold-Mayer argued that the chances of the inhabitants of the dwarf state suffering from an earthquake are negligible.
As a result of the earthquake, the power of which was estimated at 3.9 points, the meeting had to be postponed, and the parliament staff was evacuated. Fortunately, according to the Liechtenstein police, no one was hurt.
The publication recalls that Liechtenstein, located between Switzerland and Austria, is located in a seismically active zone. The tectonic forces that once gave rise to the Alps are still active, and small earthquakes are not uncommon here. So local lawmakers got together yesterday to discuss the idea of buying international damage insurance.
