What counts as a earthquake alerts
Earthquakes cannot be predicted, so these pages track detection and early warning instead: seismological networks publish magnitude, depth and location within minutes, and some countries operate early warning that reaches people seconds before strong shaking. Aftershocks are a separate, real hazard for days or weeks after a main shock.
If a warning is active
- Drop, cover and hold on - get under a sturdy table, away from glass.
- Expect aftershocks and keep away from damaged buildings.
- If you are on the coast and shaking lasts longer than a minute, move inland or uphill immediately.
