Earthquakes in the Canberra Region
The Canberra region has experienced an average of one earthquake per year for the past 50 years; and for most residents this information would come as a surprise. The report contains a complete history of seismic activity in and around the nation's capital, using records from as early as 1841. This updated version of the 1996 publication draws on new seismic data from the past 11 years in conjunction with reports about feeling an earthquake from local residents. Included in the 32 page booklet is an earthquake action guide explaining what to do during and after an earthquake and possible warning signs.
