How this page handles evidence

Every figure carries its measure, year, source and label. Unknown is shown as unknown.

Verified
A label: the item matches its primary record, such as the official table or the Crossref entry.
Secondary source
A label: the figure comes from a reliable report about the source, not from the source itself.
To verify
A label: the item is listed as found and still needs checking against its source.

02Who it is for

  • Families
  • Students
  • Engineers
  • Chapters

03How it works

Learn
a person takes the course.
Prepare
they follow the home checklist.
Plan
they add earthquakes to their family plan.
Respond
after a quake, they follow official guidance.

04What it always keeps

  • Official sources come first.
  • No predictions are made.
  • Figures appear only with their source.
  • Help goes through lawful, transparent channels.

05On the map

Each layer comes from a registered open source and shows data only once the owner has approved that source.

The map needs JavaScript. The layers it shows are listed beside it.

Layers

  • Earthquakes of magnitude 4.5 or more in the last 30 days, in a box around Iran.
