Follow us on Twitter and receive an immediate notification when an earthquake with a magnitude of 2.5 or greater has occurred in Switzerland or neighbouring countries.
On the MeteoSwiss-App and the federal authorities’ natural hazards portal, all earthquakes with an intensity of III or higher on the European Macroseismic Scale are automatically shown. This is equivalent to the first of five levels of danger. The intensity is a measure of the effects of an earthquake on the earth’s surface. For each warning area, the Swiss Seismological Service (SED) estimates the intensity in the center of each region and assigns a particular danger level based on this estimate.
