Alert Version: 2Tuesday, November 3rd, 2009 at 05:25:11 UTCLocation: 37.6° N, 20.7° EDepth: 20kmEvent Id: US2009NNAKCreated: 12 hours, 10 minutes after earthquake.

Overall, the population in this region resides in structures that are a mix of vulnerable and earthquake resistant construction. A magnitude 6.0 earthquake 253 km East of this one struck Athens, Greece on September 07, 1999 (UTC), with estimated population exposures of 19,000 at intensity IX or greater and 276,000 at intensity VIII, resulting in an estimated 143 fatalities. Recent earthquakes in this area have caused landslides that may have contributed to losses.

PAGER results are generally available on the Internet within 30 minutes of the earthquake’s occurrence. However, information on the extent of shaking will be uncertain in the minutes and hours following and earthquake and typically improves as additional sensor data and reported intensities are acquired and incorporated into models of the earthquake's source. Users of PAGER estimates should account for uncertainty and always seek the most current PAGER release for any earthquake.
