Earthquake details

Where does the earthquake data come from?

Data comes from official and scientific agencies: Disaster and Emergency Management Authority of Türkiye (AFAD), Boğaziçi University Kandilli Observatory and Earthquake Research Institute (KOERI), the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC), GFZ and NOA. Each earthquake page shows what every agency reported.

Why can magnitudes from AFAD and Kandilli differ?

Agencies use different station networks, methods and magnitude types (such as ML, Mw, Md), and early automatic solutions may be revised later. Small differences of a few tenths are normal. SismikCore shows all agencies' values side by side.

What is the difference between magnitude and intensity?

Magnitude measures the energy released by an earthquake and is a single value. Intensity describes how strongly shaking and its effects are felt at a place; it varies with distance and ground conditions.

Can earthquakes be predicted?

No. Science cannot determine the location, time and magnitude of an earthquake together in advance. SismikCore does not predict earthquakes; it only shows records of earthquakes that have occurred. For preparedness, follow AFAD guidance.

What should I do during an earthquake?

AFAD recommends "Drop, Cover, Hold On": drop next to a sturdy object, protect your head and neck, and hold on until the shaking stops. Do not use stairs or elevators and stay away from windows. Follow AFAD for official information and current guidance.

How can I get earthquake alerts?

Open the "Earthquake alerts" panel on the site, choose a region (Türkiye or World) and a minimum magnitude, and turn alerts on; no account is needed. On iPhone, add the site to your Home Screen first. Alerts are informational, not official warnings.

How can I report that I felt an earthquake?

Use the "Did you feel this earthquake?" section on an earthquake page to report shaking strength, duration and your location. Reports add to a community map; they are not instrumental measurements or official intensity.
