Minor earthquake — typically felt only near the epicenter, with a low probability of damage.
If you noticed it, you don't need to take action — just stay aware of aftershocks and report what you felt to help calibrate the map.
What this earthquake means
- Moderately shallow source (43 km). Strong shaking is concentrated near the epicenter; damage potential rises sharply with magnitude.
- USGS PAGER is GREEN — large-scale casualties are unlikely, but localized landslides, secondary hazards and damage to vulnerable buildings still warrant caution.
Interpretation derived from USGS PAGER & ShakeMap (MMI) guidance. Always defer to local civil-protection advisories.

Move away from windows and tall furniture, check for falling objects, and stay alert for small aftershocks.
Local emergency
Call local emergency services.
Widespread damage is unlikely for an event of this size. We've hidden large-scale rescue tools (shelters, missing persons, embassy dial) because they aren't needed here — they appear automatically on M6+ or PAGER orange / red events.

⚠ Aftershock & post-quake hazards
Aftershocks are usually minor at this magnitude, but expect a few small jolts in the next hours.
- Stay out of damaged buildings. Cracks, leaning walls or jammed doors mean the structure may fail in the next shake.
- Gas, power, water. Smell gas? Leave, then shut the meter from outside. Don't flip switches or use candles. Assume downed lines are live.
- Listen for official alerts. Battery / hand-crank radio beats overloaded mobile networks in the first hours.

Felt where?
M3.0 is typically felt up to ~115 km from the epicenter, depending on depth and soil.
Shallow quake
At 43 km depth, shaking reaches the surface with more force. Shallow quakes cause the most damage.
Drop · Cover · Hold On
Drop to your hands and knees. Take cover under sturdy furniture. Hold on until shaking stops. Stay away from windows and exterior walls.
