❓ Magnitude = Intensity? Nope! An #earthquake has only ONE value of magnitude but SEVERAL values of intensity, which can vary from place to place. In particular, the intensity decreases as we get away from the #earthquake👇

⚠🌊TSUNAMI RISK UNDER EVALUATION
Depending on #earthquake-coastline distance, #tsunamis can be local (<100km), regional (<1000km), or distant (>1000km). Be ready to follow national authorities' directives. Follow the situation at the links provided below👇

🔎 Map of background focal mechanisms:

Earthquakes may happen anytime: what to do during the shaking?
🠪 INSIDE: take shelter, keep away from windows.
🠪 OUTSIDE: stay away from anything that might collapse (bridges, roofs, electrical wires).
