Earthquakes in Uganda: regional seismicity
Uganda is within the wider East African Rift region. The western branch includes active faults and rift lakes; some earthquakes are felt across national borders.
Understanding the earthquake data
Magnitude, focal depth and the distance from an epicenter are different measurements. The shaking people experience also depends on soil conditions and building quality. Preliminary records may be revised by scientific agencies, and the lack of recent records does not imply there is no earthquake hazard.
Preparedness and official sources
EarthSentra does not forecast earthquakes or issue official emergency warnings. Check competent seismological and civil protection authorities. During shaking protect your head and neck and follow local advice. For context consult the USGS earthquake catalog and the global earthquake monitor.
