Understanding Earthquakes in Sierra Leone
Seismic Activity Overview
Sierra Leone has recorded 0 earthquakes in the last 30 days, with 0 in the last week alone. This relatively low activity suggests Sierra Leone is in a seismically stable period, though preparedness remains important.
Earthquake Magnitude Scale
Earthquakes are measured on the Richter and Moment Magnitude scales. 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 surface shaking intensity. Shallow earthquakes (less than 70 km deep) cause the most severe ground displacement, while deep events (over 300 km) dissipate most energy through the mantle before reaching the surface.

Staying Safe During an Earthquake in Sierra Leone
If you feel shaking in Sierra Leone, 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 gas leaks, anticipate aftershocks, and review our earthquake survival guidelines.
