Here are some frequently asked questions about epicentres near you:
The epicentre is the point on the Earth's surface that is directly above the hypocentre or focus, which is the point where an earthquake or underground explosion originates.
You can check online maps and resources from earthquake monitoring organizations like the USGS to see if they have located and mapped the epicentre of any recent quakes near your location.
If you feel shaking that indicates you may be near an earthquake epicentre, take shelter immediately by getting under a sturdy table or against an interior wall and protecting your head and neck. Stay away from windows, fireplaces and heavy objects that could fall over.
The range of perceptible shaking from an epicentre depends on the magnitude of the earthquake but can typically be felt within a radius of tens to hundreds of kilometers from the epicentre for large quakes.
Aftershocks are smaller earthquake tremors that usually occur after the initial main shock near the original epicentre as the fault zone continues to adjust and release energy. They can continue for weeks or months after the main earthquake.
