Expected intensity

MMI II ≤ 81 km
MMI III ≤ 35 km
MMI IV ≤ 15 km
MMI V ≤ 6.8 km

Rings show the expected Modified Mercalli (MMI) intensity from the Akkar–Sandıkkaya–Bommer (2014) ground-motion model converted with Worden et al. (2012). Real shaking depends on soil and building.

Aftershock forecast

The chance of an aftershock of magnitude 4 or more in the next 7 days is 1%, and of magnitude 5 or more 0.1%.

The chance of an aftershock of magnitude 3 or more in the next 24 hours is 2%.

≈ expected number of aftershocks

1 aftershock recorded so far within 10 km (1 of M3.5 or more).

Computed: 24 Sept 2026, 18:02. Method: Reasenberg-Jones (generic, Bayesian a-value update); regime ANSR-DEEPCON; generic parameters Page et al. (2016) via USGS OpenSHA GenericRJ_ParametersFetch.json. Probabilities are updated with the recorded aftershocks on every request. (b = 1, p = 0.98, c = 0.018 days, a = -2.045)

This is a statistical forecast, not an earthquake prediction. Actual aftershock activity can differ; follow AFAD for official statements.
