Earthquake of magnitude 4.6 is registered in Jalisco

On Thursday night, a magnitude 4.6 tremor was recorded, located 36 km southeast of Tecomán, Colima, according to the National Seismological Service.

The earthquake happened at 9:28 p.m. and was felt in Jalisco, according to the Jalisco State Civil Protection and Fire Unit (UEPCBJ).

There were at least four municipalities that perceived the telluric movement.

“At the moment, a slight perception is being reported in the municipalities of Toliman, Tonaya, Zapotiltic, Ciudad Guzmán and Cihuatlán, without affecting people or properties.”

In the face of significant seismic activity, the National Center for Disaster Prevention (Cenapred) recommends not falling for rumors or false news and only seeking information from official sources, such as Civil Protection authorities, both local and state, as well as federal.

After an earthquake, check your home for possible damage, use your cell phone only in an emergency, do not light matches or candles until you are sure there is no gas leak, and remember that aftershocks can occur, so it is important to stay alert.
