4 Summary This document serves as a preliminary report for the moderate earthquake occurred in 2018/06/22, 01:54 UTC (21:54 local time) northwest of Trinidad (Coordinates N, W) (source:src). Its focal depth of Km allowed the shaking to be felt to a wider area. The Port of Spain Strong Motion Network (POS SMN) recorded the event, and the strong motion data processing appears in this document. At the second section of this document the intensity report is presented, as recorded by the SRC s Citizen Seismologist Community Project. The maximum instrumentally recorded PGA value in the area of Port of Spain is recorded in Maraval, at station PSKH (PGA= m/s 2 ), while the highest intensity values in Modified Mercalli Intensity (MMI) Scale appear in reports from Maraval, Woodbrook and St. James (MMI=V). There have been no reports of casualties or damages. Initial results indicate that the western part of Port of Spain experienced higher seismic intensity compared to the eastern side. This appears both in the instrumental recorded waveforms and community felt reports. The geophysical survey conducted by SRC the past years in Port of Spain shows the western part to have a thicker package of sediments compared to the eastern side, while the geological survey shows that the soil deposits of the eastern side are more compacted. The areas of St. Claire, Woodbrook and St. James are the natural flood plains of the Maraval River and the water table of the underground aquifer appears at shallower depths at the west (less than 1m). All these indicate that the western side of Port of Spain is to experience higher levels of shaking, especially as it gets closer to the coast, where also reclamation has been conducted in the past. Station PSWS, located at Woodbrook Secondary School, experienced a short break in transmission of data, creating a gap in data recorded in the vertical component. We were unable to retrieve the whole waveform for this component from that station, hence the results for this component are incomplete.

29 Perception of Seismic Shaking Intensity From the statistical analysis of the reliable felt reports, the earthquake of 01:54 UTC was reported felt in 97.2% of submitted reports. Most of the reports were filled by female (81%). The majority of reports consider the earthquake shaking moderate (46%), while the shaking is described mostly as trembling or swaying (32% and 33% respectively). At the time of the event (21:54, local time) most people were awake and sitting still or laying down (88%). The event caught T&T s citizens by surprise (46%), while enough expressed fear (34%). Animals nearby (indoors and outdoors) got upset (87%). Most submissions, report light swing of hanging objects (57%), while doors, windows, china and glasses rattled (52-53%). The majority reports a sound effect (58%), which appeared before (37%) or during (60%) the ground shaking. Reports are almost equally divided in the origin of the sound effect, either from inside the building or from underground. While no significant damages are reported, a small percentage of reports indicate cracks on the wall and plaster falling from ceiling (6%). No other damage reported on walls or collapses. The biggest concern from the authors of this report, is the amount of submissions that are unusable for scientific research (74.4%), due to lack of precise location. While some citizens failed to provide an address, by negligence or typing something irrelevant (e.g. my house) or providing fewer details (e.g. Eastern Main Road), some others don t have an address to report that can be of use (e.g. Lamp Post 23, Maraval Road). Within the frame of Citizen Seismologist Community Project, an effort needs to be made for these citizens to be able to determine accurately their location, in order for SRC to use the essential information provided.

More informationAnalysis of NYS Earthquake
Analysis of NYS Earthquake NAME INTRODUCTION An earthquake s strength depends on how much of the energy stored in the rocks is released. There are two methods of identifying the intensity of an earthquake.
More informationUsually, only a couple of centuries of earthquake data is available, much shorter than the complete seismic cycle for most plate motions.
Earthquake Hazard Analysis estimate the hazard presented by earthquakes in a given region Hazard analysis is related to long term prediction and provides a basis to expressed hazard in probabilistic terms.
