On the afternoon of March 3rd, 2023, a moderate earthquake struck the United Arab Emirates (UAE), with its epicenter located in the country’s eastern region. The earthquake, which measured 5.2 on the Richter scale, was felt by residents in several parts of the country, including Dubai, Sharjah, and Abu Dhabi.
The UAE is not a region that is commonly associated with earthquakes, and this event has come as a surprise to many. The country is situated in a stable tectonic region, with no active fault lines or volcanic activity. However, earthquakes can still occur in the region due to the tectonic movement in nearby areas.
The National Center of Meteorology (NCM) in the UAE reported that the earthquake occurred at a depth of 10 kilometers and was felt by residents for a few seconds. There have been no reports of any casualties or significant damage to buildings or infrastructure.
The UAE’s Civil Defense authorities quickly responded to the earthquake, issuing a statement advising residents to remain calm and take precautionary measures to ensure their safety. The authorities also dispatched teams to inspect buildings and infrastructure for any damage.
In recent years, the UAE has made significant investments in its infrastructure and has implemented strict building codes
