Tripura in a High-Risk Seismic Zone
Seismologists highlighted that Tripura and much of the North East fall within one of India’s most earthquake-prone regions. The area frequently experiences low to moderate magnitude tremors due to its geographical position along active seismic fault lines.
“Even though this earthquake was mild, such events remind us of the region’s vulnerability. Preparedness is key in minimising risk,” experts said.
Safety Guidelines for Citizens
Authorities have advised residents to remain vigilant and follow safety protocols during tremors, including:
- Moving to open areas away from buildings during strong shaking.
- Avoiding elevators and unstable structures.
- Staying updated only through official government sources.
Citizens can track earthquake alerts in real time through the government’s riseq.seismo.gov.in portal and the BhooKamp mobile application, both designed to provide verified updates and safety information.
A Wake-Up Call for Preparedness
Although the tremor in Unakoti did not cause damage, experts warn that repeated seismic activity underscores the need for disaster preparedness in Tripura and the wider Northeast.
Officials have urged residents not to spread unverified information or rumours and to rely solely on government advisories during such events.
Key Takeaway
The 3.7 magnitude earthquake in Unakoti serves as a reminder of Tripura’s seismic sensitivity. While no damage occurred, the tremor has once again raised awareness about earthquake preparedness in India’s Northeast.
