FAQ

Short-term seismic risks can be caused by a variety of factors, including tectonic activity, volcanic eruptions, and human activities such as drilling and fracking.


Potential short-term seismic risks can be identified by monitoring seismic activity, studying geological data, and conducting risk assessments.
 You can have access to the data through Earling databases.

The potential consequences of short-term seismic risks include having at least one unusual seismic activity (for example, an earthquake larger than the last 5 years event), damage to buildings, businesses and infrastructure, injury or death, and disruption of essential services such as power and transportation which can cause other challenges.

Preparing for short-term seismic risks includes developing emergency plans, transferring financial risks, and ensuring that buildings and infrastructure are properly designed and maintained to withstand seismic activity.


If you feel an earthquake or other seismic event, you should immediately take cover under a sturdy piece of furniture or in a door frame, and stay there until the shaking stops. If you are outside, move away from buildings, power lines, and other potential hazards.

While there may not be any warning signs that a short-term seismic event may occur, monitoring seismic activity and staying informed about potential risks can help you be prepared.


Staying informed about short-term seismic risks includes subscribing to Earling earthquake risk level monitoring tool tool, local news and weather reports, following the advice of emergency services and experts, and staying up-to-date with the latest research and risk assessments.
