Myanmar facing a humanitarian crisis following today's devastating Mw7.7 earthquake. Large population affected with highly vulnerable homes / construction.
This is the country's strongest EQ since 1912 (Mw7.9).
Further shaking / impacts felt far from the epicenter in Thailand, China, and beyond.
Mar 28, 2025 13:39Update: The USGS has made a notable update to its ShakeMap. Now showing a substantially larger rupture that suggests major impacts for an even bigger portion of Myanmar.
3.71 million people now estimated to have felt Violent (MMI: IX) shaking. That is hugely concerning.
Strong aftershocks persist.
