Understanding Earthquakes in Colombia
Seismic Activity Overview
Colombia has recorded 3 earthquakes in the last 30 days, with 0 in the last week alone. This relatively low activity suggests Colombia is in a seismically stable period, though preparedness remains important.
Earthquake Magnitude Scale
Earthquakes are measured on the Richter scale. Each whole number increase represents a 10× increase in measured amplitude and approximately 31.6× more energy released.
How Earthquake Depth Affects Impact
The depth at which an earthquake occurs significantly affects how it is felt at the surface. Shallow earthquakes (less than 70 km deep) tend to cause the most damage, while deep earthquakes (over 300 km) are often barely noticeable.
Staying Safe During an Earthquake in Colombia
If you feel shaking in Colombia, immediately Drop, Cover, and Hold On. Get under a sturdy piece of furniture and protect your head and neck. After the shaking stops, check for injuries and be prepared for aftershocks. Stay away from damaged buildings and listen to local emergency broadcasts for updates.
