ERDBEBENMELDUNG des Schweizerischen Erdbebendienstes

Der Schweizerische Erdbebendienst an der ETH Zürich hat in Frankreich,
12 km nördlich von Chamonix-Mont Blanc ein Erdbeben registriert.
Das Beben ereignete sich am 20. März 2017 um 22:09:10 Uhr (Lokalzeit)
mit einer Magnitude von 3.0 auf der Richterskala. Dieses Erdbeben
dürfte in der Nähe des Epizentrums deutlich verspürt worden sein.
Schäden sind bei einem Erdbeben dieser Stärke in der Regel nicht
zu erwarten.

============================================================
Weitere Informationen finden Sie unter www.seismo.ethz.ch, wo
Sie auch Ihre Beobachtungen zu diesem Erdbeben melden können.

Achtung: Diese Angaben wurden automatisch berechnet und noch nicht
von einem Seismologen überprüft. Erfahrungsgemäss sind alle unsere
Telefonleitungen nach starken Erdbeben überlastet. Bitte informieren
Sie sich im Internet unter www.seismo.ethz.ch oder hören Sie Radio.

Annonce de TREMBLEMENT DE TERRE du Service Sismologique Suisse

Le Service Sismologique Suisse à l'ETH Zurich a enregistré un
tremblement de terre en France, 12 km au nord de Chamonix-Mont
Blanc. La secousse a eu lieu le 20 mars 2017 à 22:09:10 (heure
locale) avec une magnitude de 3.0 sur l'échelle de Richter. Ce

à proximité de l'épicentre. En règle générale, on ne s’attend
pas à des dégâts pour un tremblement de terre de cette magnitude.

============================================================
Pour de plus amples informations, visitez le site www.seismo.ethz.ch,
on peut également y faire part de ses propres observations concernant
le tremblement de terre.

Attention: Ces données ont été calculées de manière automatique
et n'ont pas encore été vérifiées par un sismologue. D'après notre
expérience, toutes les lignes téléphoniques sont encombrées après
de grands tremblements de terre. Informez-vous sur internet à
