Your testimonies are precious
"The actual intensities (effects of an earthquake in a given place) can only be correctly determined by collecting testimonies," notes the observatory, which invites the population to report all activities to them at the following address: www. franceseisme.fr. Concerning weak earthquakes, “on the verge of being felt”, press releases are sent only if the organization has collected testimonies. Do not hesitate to contact 05 90 99 11 33 to inform them.
