When you feel an #earthquake, and report the shaking and damage level at your location, we can create an intensity curve like this one👇Be aware though❗The intensity decreases if we get far away from the #earthquake (no matter its magnitude).

🕒 This is the 12th felt #earthquake in Turkey-Syria Border Region in the last 13 hours.

🔎 Map of background focal mechanisms:

Earthquakes may happen anytime: what to do during the shaking?
