Past earthquakes here. There were no earthquakes with significant population exposure to shaking within a 400 km radius of this event.

Local buildings. Overall, the population in this region resides in structures that are highly resistant to earthquake shaking, though some vulnerable structures exist. The predominant vulnerable building type is low-rise reinforced/confined masonry construction.

Population and intensity modelled by USGS PAGER. Estimates, not a count of people affected.
